Static off-season is my biggest fear. Gotta buy or sell. I’d rather watch buy, I would begrudgingly accept sell, the most likely is the dithering and we watch this crap another season while getting nothing for the assets they have left who have trade value. -
I think that decision is already made, and they ran out of time at the deadline
-
They already have 62 wins. I don’t think it’s delusional to think they can go 1:19 rest of season. 3:17 is pretty optimistic, but 1:19 seems about right

Can you blame him?

Along with not being able to pinch hit for Wallner and learning that Wallner can indeed hit lefties better than a mediocre rhh, I hope the Pohlads and Falvey have learned the cost of their indecision. the FO didn’t have to blow it up this year. They could have taken an incremental approach prior to 2024 to build the prospect capital and develop minor leaguers before the team became too stale.

We’ve seen the Pohlads do this before. Everyone with the laugh emoji doesn’t remember the late 90s/early aughts. 25 players at 800,000 plus Buxton at 15m and Correa’s 10m dead money isn’t out of the realm of possibility at $45m. the team John constructed, the one we are currently watching, is going to win at most 72 games this season, and next year is an easy 100 to 110 loss team. That would alienate the fanbase even more than it already is. they aren’t loading up for a post season push heading into a lockout after the fire sale. If you’re alienating the fans already, why wouldn’t the Pohlads just finish the tear down? I hope I’m wrong and the new minority owners change the direction of the team, but I just don’t see it. :(

ChiSox (Ellard) v Twins (Ober): 9/1, 1:10pm CT

The pitcher will bounce it off the umps chest protector and the run up and grab the ball, that way they can have an extra position player -
Welcome to Twins fandom, where the Hot Stove season has lasted from the All Star Break to April Fools Day since 1995.

The series is currently split

Moneyball was about getting on base as an undervalued statistic, 20+ years ago. Sabre is an ever evolving statistical and historical society of baseball fans and professionals that has a wide approach to evaluating the game.

Directionally agreed, return matters a lot. In terms of value, the when matters less. This team as constructed, with this ownership is going to suck horribly for an undetermined amount of time, with or without Ryan and Lopez, and probably well past Ryan and Lopez’ tenure with the Twins. the CBA looks to be lockout bound Dec 1, 2026. I’m guessing we’ll lose games in 2027. MLR influenced me on the timeline id look for several high end prospects in high A, double A. Players who could be knocking on MLB door end of 2026, into 2027, so you could make a case for relevancy in 2028. id also look more for hitting prospects than pitching. This team has shown some capability of developing pitchers in the high levels of the minors and young major leaguers, not so much hitters.

To fans? Players? The Pohlads? to fans and players? I imagine so to the Pohlads? Probably not, unless it’s an indication of next year’s season ticket sales.

Currently on the Twins by OPS limited to 10 including Arraez Keaschall .911 SSS Buxton .874 Wallner .812 Martin .756 SSS Jeffers .742 Larnach .734 Clemens .718 Arraez .704 Lee .678 Lewis .664 Ty France has a .328 OBP and .368 SLG, is a better fielder than Arraez. Arraez has .317 OBP .387 SLG. The Twins had to pay a major league reliever to offload the remainder of France’s $1m salary at the deadline. If they spend money on FA, they need to aim higher.

Bradley looks like he has no idea where the ball will end up
