Absolutely agreed on the last part. The window isn’t just closed, they traded it away along with the front door. They can’t go back now. All in on the rebuild. honestly MLR, you were one of the few dissenters of the Correa re-signing, and now you’ve shown more restraint than I would have. -
Before the scorched earth trade deadline Ryan for 26 and 27 had a higher likelihood of contributing to a playoff run than the 11 prospects acquired, one of which might have a chance to maybe become valuable to the major league club some day. One of Bradley or Abel might actually be a legit MLB pitcher. now? Sure trade away the bits and pieces left over. They traded away 40% of their roster and got back next to nothing. If they’re going to suck, does 65 wins matter more than 60? Nope so sure, trade Ryan away for a package of prospects of which one of whom might be good someday. In 4 years, they might be a .500 ball club again.

Mow ‘em down Taj!

Now, sure. The house has a couple of studs standing, but pretty much it’s just a basement. If those couple of 2x4 s can get something in trade, might as well. this isn’t mutually exclusive. It wasn’t an “or” at the trade deadline, but it became a foregone conclusion with a drastic course change. An incremental approach can do the same thing without watching a horrible team. The dithering of this FO has been so angering.

Wallner - ‘25 is down, but ‘24 better than ‘23, better than ‘22

But will his raise be higher than if he alters his swing mid season? Motivations not outcomes. i agree he’s sucked, but the tinkerers on the club have sucked too.
-
Are they? How so? what is it about competing in the future prevents a team from competing now?
-
Phil Hughes. Was he the only one? having received successful PT for TOS, I feel for Wheeler. It’s excruciating! The PT is almost as bad as the pain from the nerve damage. Spreading your ribs with fingers and tools hurts really bad!

I do not want to watch perpetual mediocrity, but mediocrity is a hell of a lot better than the AAA crap we have been watching post tear down. It is possible to field a good team and build for the future without a scorched earth rebuild
-
Even more reason to watch those stats with an arb2 raise on the horizon and a 4th year arb before free agency
-
What gets measured gets results, and people respond to incentives. Royce is going in to his first year of Arbitration. The stats are how the arbitration process gets settled. I find the candor refreshing.

Somehow I think RBS would take a thumbs down from you as an accomplishment.

Post Trade Deadline Tank Thread
Richie the Rally Goat replied to bunsen82's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Atlanta really crapped the bed too. Kinda shocking -
I live in Wisconsin, wear my Twins gear proudly. why would I abuse the cows that produce the milk that makes the cheese I love so much?
-
Fairly full. Kids game, so kinda quiet. Lots of Brewers jerseys. It was weird
-
I attended of course ;) I think they lost the last 5 games I went to, but I expected to lose this one, so of course I was happily proven wrong
-
Even the worst day at the ballpark is better than my best day at work
-
Why are the starting pitchers warming up in outfield?
-
Or potentially hostile takeover (of sorts)? Wait for the Pohlads to dither away more money, get desperate while resting on their laurels and then having to sell the rest of the team below market because they continued leaning into their incompetence?
-
100% option 3: Dither this is the most likely scenario, and worst case, as it has been what Falvey and Pohlad have done for years.
