    Agreed, with a slight wrinkle. I think the likely return on the offseason trading away of pitching would be prospects to arrive in 2028.

    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

    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

    As it should be.

    LNP would be a fantastic manager, only so I can dust off “Get Money! Get Paid!” edit: Ninja’d
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    I’ll bet he would retire from the Venezuelan league to manage the Twins
  8. Richie the Rally Goat
    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

    Wow, that was minutiae! Thanks Matt, great job simplifying it for us laypeople. Very good read

    Depicted, Cody’s current transformative state:

    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
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    I know right! Paying market rates for fantastic players is such a disaster
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    Exactly
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, 2 bench pieces and a 4th starter is not enough
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    3 out of 10-15ish is not a good omen for 2026

    What can we do to turn the baseball god’s ire away from Luke Keaschall?

    you mean it’s not Jose Miranda or Ed Julien? I’m shocked it’s Buck

    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
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    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!
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    They lost Carlos Correa and Wili Castro. They had Martin all season and last year too, and they had Clemens since May. How is this lineup getting significantly better adding one first baseman essentially Smooth, after losing Castro and Correa? Below, the two year period ‘24, ‘25
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    The 2026 team if they rebuild a quality bullpen will be as good as or better than 2024 and 10 games or more better than 2025?
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    Agreed, either he was going to be fired with the GM or by the GM but either way, he was going to be fired. it was Falvey’s job saved one more year by the “Pohlad Pivot”
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    The Twins were an advanced team, scouting and documenting well ahead of their peers. Point in time, just like the dinosaurs, they found their competitive advantage, capitalized on it, then were their own demise by failing to adapt to a different climate. the key is “were”. Historic. Dinosaurs were apex until they weren’t. The Twins were on the brink of extinction and modernized, but are again on the brink of extinction and need to adapt again. thus, the Lean ideology vs Six Sigma. Continuous improvement, incremental gains over time to adapt seemly vs the kaizen event.
