    Gasper has 2 games in his major league career at C and since 2018 over ml and minor league has 123 games at C. he’s not a Catcher
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    Looked good last night

    I’m not sure I agree, the hitters traded away may not have been the right pieces to the puzzle, but the returns received were not major league players. also I was responding to the poster who said “all they have to do is replace the bullpen”. the way I see it, they need to field a major league roster again. It’s not “just the bullpen” they need to find 3 to 5 very good relievers, a SS, starting pitcher, a left fielder, a 4th outfielder, a second baseman and a first baseman to compete. they do not have all of those pieces internally, they may have a few of them. they will not fill all those gaps this offseason. More likely the tear down continues. Preparing for 2026 is a farce. It seems like a possibility to me that we could watch a Pittsburgh style perpetual rebuild for the next decade. these games since the deadline have absolutely been more enjoyable to watch. Scrappy underdog is far more enjoyable than underachieving veterans. But the shine will fade on the scrappy underdog mentality like it did in the 90s. At least Buxton is better than Coomer. I believe either the potential new owner signed off on all this, or the Pohlads don’t have a buyer and are cleaning off the books for the long haul. Both bode ominous

    They traded away 10 major leaguers at the deadline. 40% of the active roster
  5. Richie the Rally Goat
    No sour grapes here
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yikes! Speedy recovery Vazquez!

    Considering the timing, Jax may have already been traded when(if) he asked.

    Taking on debt to lump sum pay an escrow account? What’s the point of the escrow in that situation? agreed, if they did escrow his guaranteed contract, some of that would be freed up to pay down debt, but some of that would be owed the Astros in the trade deal. My assumption is since the players get weekly game checks and don’t get paid year round, they would flow the cash off of operating revenue, but with the size of the contract, this makes sense.

    When you sell a house, you have pay off the mortgage first before putting the capital gains against another asset. If you bought a snowmobile with a second mortgage against your house, and then sell your house, you have to payoff the house and the snowmobile before buying a new house. What’s confusing me about the debt, is a statement that shedding payroll reduces it in a significant way. Cutting expenses can free up cash to reduce future debt, but debt incurred is debt incurred. It’s like scrapping inventory, you took on debt to buy the inventory, but didn’t sell it. If you scrap the inventory, you still have the debt.

    Yup, the return of LHH OF who need a reset is certainly a sign that Wallner is getting traded in the offseason. the fire sale is over, but the gutting has just started.
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    See that, a couple little brush strokes there… and it’s a happy little GIDP

    Varland was so the Pohlads could make an interest payment on their yacht with France’s 300k left on his contract.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    It’s a factor, sure. Probably not the decider though.
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Or just aggressive aggressive?
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    I don’t really get this. Do you think Baldelli had a significant decision in this? because this to me ensures Baldelli is getting fired on October 1
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Looking pretty grim
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    After offloading what little starting pitching depth you have and weakening the strongest part of the team, they had better sell hard
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    I need Falvey to give me a reason to renew my season package. So far, not good
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    His fake ID is McLovin’

    If the Twins paid some of Correa’s contract in order to get some actual prospect capital in return and it wasn’t just a salary dump, I could be in favor. unfortunately packaging Dobnak with Paddack lends me to believe that the opposite would happen and I would be quite upset. I was upset about pocketing the couch cushion money for Dobber and taking a reduced prospect.
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    I think it’s divot replacement from concerts
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    Do you really think he’ll be DFA’d?
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    It’s next to impossible to hit the bottom line, if you don’t hit the top line. Increased sales fixes margin problems alot better than cost cutting.
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    No, and that’s my point of contention. DSP and Falvey should have been planning the scenarios for that to happen.
