    Better than Martin Perez does not inspire confidence.... That being said, I hope the OP is right!

    as a shareholder I get to listen in on the earnings call. medical as a whole is about 8 billion of a 33 billion market cap. Masks and avagard are a portion of that 8, not sure how much but probably growing! 3M is one of the worlds largest producers of surgical/face masks and respirators, but it’s highly diversified, using/manufacturing the same IP into many different markets. It’s a bellwether stock, part of why it’s not getting hammered right now is it’s taken a beating over the last year.

    to that end, why doesn’t the NFL or MLB or any of the major sports including MMA just self distribute and keep ALL of the revenue? They already have the infrastructure and wouldn’t lose out on cable revenue w/ MLB Network already available....It’s just mind blowing how badly I want to give them my money and they just don’t want to take it.... The stupid part is, I’m blacked out on both the Twins and the Brewers, and Vikings and Packers, but for no amount of local cable money can I get the Packers or the Brewers. I don’t want the Brewers but there are plenty of Brewers fans here who have no legal way of watching them.

    Ticker MMM maker of Avagard and surgical face masks has been doing less bad than other Dow stocks lately. That dang PFAS monkey on their back will hinder things for a while though...

    Mod note: this article is intended for humor. Do not use this forum to swap tactics on how to game the rules in place. Describing ways to circumvent MLB’s intellectual property rights equates to a break of number 5 on the comment policy. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/8228-twins-daily-comment-policy/

    Good OP! I agree, the managers that have the guts to more regularly stretch relievers an extra out will succeed with the new rule. Managers that cling to the traditional reliever roles may struggle
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    I like the blue!

    Mod note: let’s keep it to OP

    Watching The Hunters on Prime. I enjoy it, but it’s a difficult watch, switching between 70’s stylish “Shaft” meets spy type and the pain of being a Holocaust survivor.
  10. Richie the Rally Goat
    Twins are going to get a reputation for developing catchers pretty soon
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m on the optimism train too! Choo Choo!!!!
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’m on the Rooker bandwagon too Edit to add, were the Sire(s) of Fort Myers, plural, Thielbar throwing gas seems like a good bet.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    I can see it without logging in
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    that’s alleged too, right? I can’t find any convictions
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    well, yeah... there’s a whole team and office and coaching staff of people who should have said something during the season, including Fiers. It was wrong and that should have been evident at the time. It’s good that Fiers spoke up after the fact, but he loses credibility by accepting the benefits before speaking up. That’s why it’s a conflict of interest. It’s like taking a bribe, then saying, “hey look, there’s bribery going on!”....”wait, you’re not taking away my bribe are you? I worked hard for it!”
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    considering 30-40% of what’s coming off the books is Odorizzi, it’s not that much....
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    There's three moderators posted in the thread... laughing, I might add
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    I feel sorry for Severino, but man it’s hard to feel bad for the Yankees.

  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    Fantastic insight, thank you for sharing! Are players only with you during the season? Have you had exposure to offseason work too?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    https://calltothepen.com/2018/03/22/mlb-minor-ugly-business/ A couple years old, not well cited, but a good read. Claims AAA per diem at that time was $25 per day. Per diem is only payed on road trips.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I like this idea! Need to think about timing and process.

    RE: Cruz. It’s pretty optimistic that one of the Rookies could step in and backfill Cruz. Letting his production go will leave a big gap. It’s a deep lineup and a DH can be had cheaply, but not at the value they got from Cruz. RE: Marwin... Adrianza is already on the roster, and is a free agent too. He’s not replacing Marwin. If you can resign Ehire, losing Marwin isn’t huge, but you gotta resign one of them. My vote is Ehire. That knocks down your total maybe, 12-15 mil, I guess.

    I don’t think MLB has dated marketing, they have a dated commercialization system as well. A league that led the way in how to deliver the sport, let the rest of the leagues catch up, when there are so many opportunities for baseball to simulcast and later advanced stats for those who want them, while delivering a cord free experience. Cable is dying and MLB could easily go on its own. As to Astros and the league, the league has purchased teams in the past, and could do so now, taking control of the Astros on a reduced price or kick them out of the league. If MLB wanted to, it could retract them, like the Expos.

    Great article, Matt! I think you’ll find similar experiences in the Forums. Many of the hearty TDers live beyond the reaches of Fox Sports North and come here to TD to connect.
