  1. Yikes! Speedy recovery Vazquez!
  2. Considering the timing, Jax may have already been traded when(if) he asked.
  3. Taking on debt to lump sum pay an escrow account? What’s the point of the escrow in that situation? agreed, if they did escrow his guaranteed contract, some of that would be freed up to pay down debt, but some of that would be owed the Astros in the trade deal. My assumption is since the players get weekly game checks and don’t get paid year round, they would flow the cash off of operating revenue, but with the size of the contract, this makes sense.
  4. When you sell a house, you have pay off the mortgage first before putting the capital gains against another asset. If you bought a snowmobile with a second mortgage against your house, and then sell your house, you have to payoff the house and the snowmobile before buying a new house. What’s confusing me about the debt, is a statement that shedding payroll reduces it in a significant way. Cutting expenses can free up cash to reduce future debt, but debt incurred is debt incurred. It’s like scrapping inventory, you took on debt to buy the inventory, but didn’t sell it. If you scrap the inventory, you still have the debt.
  5. Yup, the return of LHH OF who need a reset is certainly a sign that Wallner is getting traded in the offseason. the fire sale is over, but the gutting has just started.
  6. See that, a couple little brush strokes there… and it’s a happy little GIDP
  7. Varland was so the Pohlads could make an interest payment on their yacht with France’s 300k left on his contract.
  8. It’s a factor, sure. Probably not the decider though.
  9. I don’t really get this. Do you think Baldelli had a significant decision in this? because this to me ensures Baldelli is getting fired on October 1
  10. After offloading what little starting pitching depth you have and weakening the strongest part of the team, they had better sell hard
  11. I need Falvey to give me a reason to renew my season package. So far, not good
  12. If the Twins paid some of Correa’s contract in order to get some actual prospect capital in return and it wasn’t just a salary dump, I could be in favor. unfortunately packaging Dobnak with Paddack lends me to believe that the opposite would happen and I would be quite upset. I was upset about pocketing the couch cushion money for Dobber and taking a reduced prospect.
  13. It’s next to impossible to hit the bottom line, if you don’t hit the top line. Increased sales fixes margin problems alot better than cost cutting.
  14. No, and that’s my point of contention. DSP and Falvey should have been planning the scenarios for that to happen.
  15. The Twins have the highest payroll in the AL Central and are currently 4th. i can absolutely point blame at a front office that doesn’t cash flow plan the full term of their payroll contracts. i don’t know how the decisions get made, but with the Pohlads it can’t be “Dad, can I have more money”
