  1. It’s all private money, so Pohlad companies can sell off debt with an asset to clean up their books. Having been a part of private and public divestitures, that same tactic was used in all 3 of them.
  2. Lee is on the IL, the odds are improving that the legend just might actually get off the ground
  3. I think Castro is going to play a ton of 2nd to start the season and is likely the best fielder at 2nd currently active
  4. During Spring Training, the “assigned” to Twins is when a minor leaguer plays a split squad major league game as a fill-in without being “called up” as a major leaguer.
  5. Wouldn’t that be awesome if he did? Go get ‘em Walker!
  6. He’s pitched 11 games in double A in ‘22, when he next pitches in 2026 he’ll be 28, he would then have a year of Ml service time, two years until arbitration. That’s a tough place to be…
  7. They haven’t put Canterino on the 60 yet to avoid using MLB service time, and he was optioned before being placed on the Il. he might go on the minor league 60 day, but I believe he stays on the 40 man roster.
  8. Oh no! Hopefully Royce’s leg is minor
  9. Vazquez, just like Sweet Destiny, is frozen into the river. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-beached-boat-death-threats-a-lounge-singer-how-a-boat-remains-stranded-on-the-st-croix-river/ar-AA1y8aVc
  10. Unfortunately they share a checkbook
  11. “Can’t” or “Won’t”? It’s still the farming example. Hire the farming expert to grow what you want (catching coach and drafted prospects), trade for prospects with some development already done, or sign free agents, or choose to be bad at the position. Today they can trade Vázquez, but it would be choosing to be a worse team. they can poach Tanner Swanson from Ny or hire another catching whisperer, and spend more draft capital on Catchers there is no salary cap, they can spend whatever they want. They could have signed d’Arnaud for the same money they paid Bader.
  12. Do you have the knowledge/experience, soil and equipment to grow and harvest rapeseed? How much cash/liquidity do you have to invest in a seed head on your combine vs the bean head you already have? If you have to harvest the rapeseed by hand, how much does the labor cost? maybe the Twins lost their rapeseed farming experience when the Yankees poached Tanner Swanson?
  13. Camargo has to get some leash in the bigs this year to prep for number 2, right?
  14. Are Camargo and Jeffers durable enough to combine for 162 games behind the dish? Because I do not want to see Cartaya get extended time in the MLB in 2025
  15. Agreed, if Julien can continue to hit like he did in 2023 and every step in the minors up to that point, the Twins will find a way to get him in the lineup.
  16. They could have negotiated a market rate free agent contract with him
  17. He’s a lefty on the big side of the platoon and doesn’t hit. His only shot is both Buxton and Bader get hurt, which is a pretty high likelihood of occurring, so look for him around the all-star break
  18. While I agree with Crain, I’m guessing Boof Bonser, just to be different.
  19. That’s fair, I think the Twins caught lightning in a bottle with Blewett, his previous stints in the bigs were very small sample but 2 WHIP, and even in the Chinese league and in the minors he averages less than a strikeout per inning. I think he passed through waivers unclaimed and is still in the Twins system. We’ll likely see Blewett pitch for the Twins at some point.
  20. My guess is hoarding depth, bullpen in general is highly volatile and Topa and Stewart are both likely to be injured but too good to walk away from (especially Stewart). Tonkin will likely be miles better than Jay Jackson and Scott Blewett
  21. What a shame! I feel bad for the guy
  22. After having read the desktop formatted rules on my phone several times, I have a few mechanical questions. Is there a specific template for the draft post? can multiple teams pick the same player? are all three sites playing the same game together?
