DFA Paddack, I bet he clears waivers -
The way this team is playing, piggy back all 5 rotation spots with mop up men, there won’t be any leads to hold anyways.

Twins Sale - Good or Bad Investment
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Dakota Native's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Depends on the structure of the deal. Is the deal for “the business” or “the assets”? “The business” at the advertised $1.7b is a bad deal because it comes packaged with the Pohlad’s debt and becomes a leveraged buy out. The 425m in debt doesn’t have to come with the sale. Pohlad doesn’t have to come with the sale. I wouldn’t buy The Minnesota Twins LLC. The downside risk of buying the Pohlad family business practices and the legacy of uncertainty is a non-starter for me. The last thing I want is a skeleton in the closet no one knew of, but I bought the LLC, so I get the lawsuit, along with the package of $425m in debt with minimal real estate is a bad investment. The profit would never pay down the debt (if Forbes is remotely accurate) ”the assets” as in the brand, the contracts, rights, could be a good deal at the advertised $1.7b if you believe you are buying the dip. Target field is a beautiful park, but isn’t “new”. If you believe you can get a big reno or new park over the investment horizon with significant public funds, or a bigger stake in the real estate… that’s an opportunity for growth. The Twins are currently under the MLB streaming rights deal. If you think you can get a better TV deal, that’s an opportunity for growth. This team crapped the bed last year and currently in process of crapping the bed this year, if you think you can run a team better, that’s a cost out and playoff revenue growth opportunity. -
Good start Sim!

Damn right, Rocco! Pitch that fit!

What a frustrating **** show

Willi! That should have been Bader’s…

That’s a league-wide trend https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/bunt-hits-declining-mlb-rcna157571

FTFY France, Bader, and Gasper are symptoms of THE problem, and they are problems in and of themselves as a part of a team. im not sure how the budget got so mismanaged, but THE problem is something to do with 4 players making up half of the payroll, one of them is a backup catcher and two of them are 100 game at most players (amazing as they are for those 100 games). It ultimately falls on the Pohlads and Falvey.

Twins face a guy who sounds like a pirate dressing up as Ace Ventura for Halloween had better be a lefty heavy lineup

Guess the poster (Part 1)
Richie the Rally Goat replied to C-Gangster's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I have no idea who you could be talking about -
This is exactly why he was tendered the $10m contract. No one will claim him because they don’t want to pay him, and Dobnak wont reject the outright assignment, because he wont get better money elsewhere. There’s nothing here to be upset about, from Dobnak’s perspective he gets paid life changing money whether it’s for the Twins or the Saints

ERA is subject to errors. The Twins were butchers in the field last year, yet they only committed 70 errors, ranked 28 third fewest errors in the league, while also ranked dead last in UZR 150. They had so few errors because they all just stood out there like statues. meanwhile Ryan ranked 8th in WHIP and 32 in WAR, Ober 9th in WHIP and 37th in WAR, and Lopez 47th in WHIP 29 in WAR. It’s good to limit base runners and throw a lot of innings, isn’t it?
-
Ryan, Ober and Lopez were all top 40 starting pitchers last year. Last I checked there were 30 mlb teams, so while we can debate defining “ace” if we need to debate what a number 3 starter is, I’ve lost what little faith in the internet I once held…
-
He absolutely was a very good pitcher in 23 and 24, and probably was more of a top 30 pitcher in ‘24. Agreed he does have the Twins best shot at it for Twins starters. But let’s be realistic here. The difference between number 5 and 30 is bigger than the difference between 30 and 55.
-
All he has to do is increase his innings and strikeouts 15% and decrease his clunkers 75% from his best season in the bigs while not allowing his other variables change significantly. piece of cake, I wonder why he hasn’t done it yet?
-
He threw away his shot… sorry, two hours late, but I’m not throwin’ away my shot
-
They haven’t done the little things since Gardy

Concur!

As someone who’s lived in the dead zone in NW Wi where no TV carries the Twins but I’m in Twins territory on MLB.tv, it’s really nice being able to watch opening day from my office, while ostensibly working, then listening on my drive, now watching again while at my kids sports.
