And to add, the Twins have players like Tanner Schobel and others who could be an improvement over the quad-A castoffs currently occupying the 26 man roster, but may not be ready yet and don’t want to derail their development or start their service time clock yet.
there’s more at stake than the 2025 big league club, including the 40 man roster when guys start getting healthy. Who’s up for DFAing prospects or having them rot on the bench?
That may lead one to believe that an automatic Margot might be preferable, but that assumption would be false. All types of Margot’s must be demolitioned from the area before surface prep.
A front office blow-up management change, followed by a sale of the team and another front office management change would super-suck.
If this team continues to play this badly, I can’t imagine Baldelli makes it to the All-Star Game and Falvey survives past the World Series.
if it’s just Baldelli being the sacrificial lamb, it wouldn’t really matter that much. I don’t think managers actually impact the in game outcomes that much.
he was a bit in no man’s land…
Staying on his feet and letting his momentum carry him could have risked a full speed collision into the wall. That would have been way worse.
This!
also to add, face value tickets preseason were up 20% over last year. They screwed the pooch last year, then passed on the offseason, took the only option in video broadcast, and raised ticket prices….
this frickin’ team…
