    Waiting out the market, all three or four times, also caused them to miss out on the tier two free agents that would have marginally improved the team without giving up prospects. In 22 they missed out on players like Jose Abreu who would have been a significant improvement to the lineup, and would have not cost a budget shifting amount where they couldn’t afford Correa’s 33M. 6 years in the making to not significantly improve the team and by shear luck not taking a huge step backwards. The FO does deserve credit for freeing up the cash to sign Correa and actually getting the deal done. They also deserve the blame for having a huge budget surplus and not consuming it in ways that significantly improve the team. There’s trades still potentially out there, but prospects are the capital that improve the major league roster, and that cash is pretty low right now considering how much budget surplus there was coming into this offseason.

    Point of clarification, per MLBTRthe Twins reached agreements with 7 of 8 and appear to be going through arbitration with Arraez.
  3. Richie the Rally Goat
    And in Toronto he’s the 3rd or 4th starter and might not make a post season start

    Indeed, i got what I asked for

    Link/source?

    Agreed, a 6 man rotation would not surprise me. Likely Maeda, Ober, and Winder will be 5 and fly starters, so effective multi inning relief from a couple pitchers will be continue to be important, in order to manage workload and still win games.

    Who’s number 6? Winder 5, Lopez 7… :)

    I like the thumbs up/thumbs down idea. I like the sad emoji, but the yikes emoji and the ha ha emojis tend to be a bit “troll-y”. I’d replace the yikes with the thumbs down

    Connected to whom? Their information has to come from somewhere and if it is planted, that doesn’t make Hayes or Rosenthal less credible.

    Speedy recovery Liam!

    This article does a good job with the courts part of Bauer’s story.

    Welcome to TD!

    Well said! The word I think fits is “accessibility”. The stats are spurned. So many of the people in baseball badmouth the game for what it is. The pace is slow, good luck to you having somewhere to watch it streaming or on TV. Ticket prices are bonkers high. the game is inaccessible, no wonder. no one cares.

    Some of the most expensive things in life are free of charge.

    I agree with the “People can change” part. If societally we don’t give people a chance to prove that they did change, then justice is never really served. How does that fit with the first part. If I’m not an agent for change, then who will be? this fits really well with my struggle on my reaction post in this thread. “No not ever and if the Twins do, I’m becoming a brewers fan”. I have conflicting morals. I cannot ever tolerate abuse. I also feel strongly that justice includes rehabilitation. I admit that it doesn’t really make sense, and is a bit hypocritical. Where I come down on this, is Trevor Bauer has earned enough money in his life, if he was prudent, he can live the rest of his life, without ever working again, and still die with more money than I’ll ever have. he’s rich beyond my comprehension and can afford to live on his own island. so my initial post stands. Not Trevor Bauer, not ever.

    I wish Palacios well, but doing well in Winter Ball doesn’t instill fear in me that the Twins whiffed. For Palacios’ sake I hope they did. But I don’t second guess that decision

    In ‘07 through ‘09 we did a flex 40 when my wife was in college, she got student tickets, and we sat in the LF nose bleeds $5 for my seat, $2 for hers. So 40 games for around $300 for 2 tickets. I taught her how to score, we had dollar dogs we were broke, and a Twins game was cheaper than a movie and the gopher shuttle dropped us free a couple blocks away. good times!

    But Molitor wasn’t in the FO. Terry Ryan was the GM that hired Molitor.
