  1. 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.
  2. See that, a couple little brush strokes there… and it’s a happy little GIDP
  3. Varland was so the Pohlads could make an interest payment on their yacht with France’s 300k left on his contract.
  4. It’s a factor, sure. Probably not the decider though.
  5. 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
  6. After offloading what little starting pitching depth you have and weakening the strongest part of the team, they had better sell hard
  7. I need Falvey to give me a reason to renew my season package. So far, not good
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. No, and that’s my point of contention. DSP and Falvey should have been planning the scenarios for that to happen.
  11. 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”
  12. If he behaves like he’s a lame duck, he’s certain to be one, regardless of ownership changes.
  13. https://www.mlb.com/news/david-festa-right-shoulder-inflammation?adobe_mc=TS%3D1753284543|MCMID%3D51455057241460116597972351370508527739|MCORGID%3DA65F776A5245B01B0A490D44@AdobeOrg&affiliateId=mlbapp-ios_webview_news-index&rsid=mlbios.at.bat.new.implementation
  14. Yup, if the plan is to sell off current assets for future assets because this team isn’t good, then the FO misjudged badly. This team has been in the making for 6 years. This team didn’t get tore down after crapping the bed in epic fashion last year. And this team continued where it left off last year. i don’t necessarily agree with Matt’s prescription, but if he believes Falvey needs to sell aggressively, then the only answer is to fire an incompetent front office. They didn’t just miss one off season in a couple minor acquisitions if the prescription to sell aggressively, they missed a bunch of decisions over several offseasons and misread the ownership too. edit to add: @Matthew Trueblood excellently written piece. The dithering is absolutely maddening with this team.
  15. What’s the point of this post? There was a whole article written about why Clemens should get more playing time at the expense of France.
  16. You nailed it. Why would a collection of baseball owners who have exemption from antitrust rules collectively take action to increase the value of one of the owner’s asset? It raises the value of their own assets too
  17. Compensating for injuries can cause bad mechanics. It can take a while after injury recovery to correct them.
