  1. Good catching prospects almost ready for the majors cost a fortune. You take that every time. the Twins have shown capability to develop pitchers. Not so much hitters.
  2. No, but the 2023 - 2025 teams were better with him on it than not. Gagne, Zoilo, Cardenas, Smalley then Correa.
  3. Do you expect payroll to increase in 2026? The ‘25 Twins were a 92 loss team, and started the season with a much better team than what they ended with. if payroll stays the same or drops for ‘26, 70 and 92 feels pretty optimistic, unless they turn pitching into hitters, and the young pitchers step-up
  4. I love your optimism that the suck might come on toast. Honestly, I’m optimistic it’ll come on moldy bread, and will likely just suck, no bread with it.
  5. Agreed, with a slight wrinkle. I think the likely return on the offseason trading away of pitching would be prospects to arrive in 2028.
  6. 27? Very generous. welcome to Twins fandom, where the tried but true “cheap Pohlad” jokes not just survive, but thrive. dust off your pocket protector, 70s era graphing calculator with half the labels worn off, and rationing office supplies bit
  7. If he is on this team in the spring, it’s because he wants to. He would be among the easiest to trade players on the team, maybe in baseball. its commitment. He’s had plenty of reasons to bail already, including getting his playing time manipulated for arbitration/free agency purposes. Yet here he is, on what was an owner friendly deal before he broke out in ways only he knew he could do. its awesome, I hope he retires a Twin. i totally understand if he doesn’t, but if he does, it should have the C on his jersey. and yeah, I would, been a fan of the team since the early 80s. Highest highs, lowest lows. Lows deeper than most teams ever go through. Fandom is an odd thing
  8. LNP would be a fantastic manager, only so I can dust off “Get Money! Get Paid!” edit: Ninja’d
  9. I’ll bet he would retire from the Venezuelan league to manage the Twins
  10. He was signed as a street free agent for 2025. The Twins could have Topa, AND Polanco in 2025 and still would have the same outcome. You can have your cake and eat it too
  11. Wow, that was minutiae! Thanks Matt, great job simplifying it for us laypeople. Very good read
  12. I think we need Levi (ticus) to run it by the Numbers but i can’t think of a bad pun for Deuteronomy edit: i was turtled, can’t even call it Ninja’d cuz I was that slow
  13. What can we do to turn the baseball god’s ire away from Luke Keaschall?
  14. you mean it’s not Jose Miranda or Ed Julien? I’m shocked it’s Buck
  15. While I agree that discussing a non-answer to that question on October 1 (or pretty much any time) is rather foolish, still that word “expectation that Ryan and Lopez on the roster” sticks in my craw. Falvey is the decision maker in trade evaluation. “I do not expect my trade demands to be met” vs “I expect a payroll budget high enough to restock a competitive team so it makes sense to keep them”. None of those are reasonable answers either…. I’m just rambling and not sure why I’m posting this, but I’m frustrated! thank you for listening, I feel better
  16. I visited my doctor last week, told her all my symptoms, how bummed I was about the Twins, how much I hate the Pohlads, Falvey, etc… so she gave me the pills. i didn’t know they were anti-depresserants but I’m so glad they worked!
