    Target Field Food Ultimate Guide - Minnesota Twins Food | TSR What to Eat at Target Field, Baseball Stadium of the Minnesota Twins - Eater Twin Cities Kramarczuk sausages, Pizza Luce pizzas, Red Cow burgers, Hot Indian, Union Hmong Kitchen, Soul Bowl, Tony O's Cubano sandwiches, tons of craft beers. The food is at least as good as the State Fair.

    Hundreds of thousands of people pay an entrance fee to the MN State Fair every year for the privilege of eating overpriced food.

    This contract by itself raises the amount of the qualifying offer in future season by over $300k.

    It's not possible that every free agent contract is an "overpay". It's market rate for talent among billionaire owners who have been watching their net worth climb for month. Some of them have gained enough wealth in the last month to buy another professional sports team.

    You are still allowed to bring your own food to Target Field. If food costs are keeping you from attending, bring a picnic.

    Ichiro's career OPS+ is 107 because he got a late start in MLB (age 27) and hung around about 6 years past his prime (ages 37-44). It's 10 years of awesome (55 WAR) followed by 6 years of just good enough to get playing time (5 WAR). Joey Gallo's positive contribution was ages 23-27. Ichiro was starring in Japan before age 27. Give Gallo 14 more seasons in the big leagues to match Ichiro's career and we'll see what his career statline looks like. I'll take Gallo's age 23-27 performance over Ichiro's age 40-44 but otherwise it's clearly Ichiro.

    Santana should have been AL MVP in 2004 AND 2006. The best players in baseball were pretty heavily in the NL in 2004 (Bonds, Pujols, Beltre, Rolen, Edmonds, Helton, Randy Johnson, JD Drew). Ichiro was the best position player in the AL followed by Miguel Tejada and Alex Rodriguez. 2006 was a closer call but I still think Santana was more valuable than Joe Mauer. They passed over two better choices on the Twins to give that MVP to Morneau.

    I agree. Last year 10 players were chosen and the Twins pick 12th. This year should be even less talent available because the 2020 draft was only 5 rounds.
  10. DJL44
    History shows that the best bang for your buck selling is relief pitching. The Twins could get some serious talent in return for Jax and/or Duran. If they get two young, talented players in return for a reliever they will come out ahead in the short and long term.

    Prielipp also tore his UCL and this one is his replacement ligament after Tommy John surgery.

    Got my picks in. Goltz is underrated, especially since he's from Pelican Rapids.
  13. DJL44
    If they want Valenzuela they should trade someone for him and put him on the 40 man roster so they can option him.
  14. DJL44
    You want to drop one outfielder and add four? They need a second baseman now. If they trade Vazquez they would be desperate for a catcher.
  15. DJL44
    They pick 12th in the Rule 5 draft. The odds that there are 12 good players available are nearly zero.
  16. DJL44
    There are a lot more options than just "play the young guys they already have" and "supplement by dumpster diving".
  17. DJL44
    Did they switch divisions this offseason? The White Sox are going to be terrible again in 2025. All they need to do is win more games than Kansas City, Detroit and Cleveland.
  18. DJL44
    Disagree. They won 82 games last season and they only players worth a darn leaving are Santana and Kepler. They have some young talent that underperformed last year (Lewis, Julien, Duran) and some more who could contribute in 2025 (Festa, Matthews, Rodriguez, Keaschall, Brooks Lee). They're not that far off.
  19. DJL44
    Did they give him an offseason raise? He's getting #2/3 starter money, not ace money.
  20. DJL44
    Why would someone trade a better, MLB-ready pitcher with more team control for Ryan or Ober. That's what it would take to make sense. Detroit would have to call and offer Skubal for Ober.
  21. DJL44
    I agree that they should be able to move Paddack, they want to move Paddack, and they likely will move Paddack. That said, if you're a team looking for pitching aren't you going to wait until all the free agents have signed before you settle for Chris Paddack? The Twins have to make a trade to free up the budget, but they don't have much to trade that anyone else would want. Paddack and Vazquez are nobody's first choice. They don't want to move Willi Castro, but they probably will if someone overpays in December.
  22. DJL44
    Wait until the draft is over and trade for him if he's undrafted.
  23. DJL44
    Another pitcher being paid more than Pablo Lopez
  24. DJL44
    Possibly, but that's dumb. The best way to maximize Keirsey's value to the team is to use him in CF when Buxton is injured. There's little reason to call him up to play LF/RF when you could use a better bat instead.
  25. DJL44
    Ty France has indicated that he's interested in moving to catcher. His bat doesn't play at 1B anymore, but it would be fine for a catcher. I would be willing to put him in St. Paul and give him that opportunity.
