    I am pretty sure nobody is going to offer individual games a-la-carte which is what many people would want. Any streaming package will include stuff you don't want to watch. My guess is you will have to buy this for $30-40/month, then buy your individual team's games on top of this for an additional $10-20/month. For $50/month you get what you want plus a lot of other sports. The alternative will be cable at $100/month.

    Looks like there may finally be a solution to our streaming woes ESPN, Fox, Warner Bros. to launch joint sports streaming platform (cnbc.com)

    The Dodgers report on 2/9, Padres on 2/11 and most other teams 2/14 or 2/15. That's when the 60 day IL opens.
  4. DJL44
    It might be as simple as ranking all the pitchers in organized baseball with a computer and claiming anyone who ranks higher than the 40th man on the roster. None of those guys should be buying a house in Hennepin County.
  5. DJL44
    Balazovic may still have enough perceived upside that they are able to get cash or a low-level prospect in return.
  6. DJL44
    I'd like to see them turn two of those seven guys into more near-term help. They're a contender right now.
  7. DJL44
    Looks like the Twins negotiated a $3M option for 2025.
  8. DJL44
    Should make him more likely to sign a long-term extension as well.
  9. DJL44
    Right now they are but the 60 day IL opens up very soon which should free up a number of roster spots.
  10. DJL44
    Ron Cey is another comp. 130 OPS+ and good defense during his prime. 6 time all-star.
  11. DJL44
    The 60 day IL opens up in a few days. If Staumont is still injured he could end up there.
  12. DJL44
    I don't think so but there is young talent - Varland, Festa, Woods Richardson and Canterino.
  13. DJL44
    Castro can handle CF/2B/3B better than Gordon can. I'm assuming they'll already use Castro most days.
  14. DJL44
    They spend money but mostly on the wrong things (Kris Bryant).
  15. DJL44
    Resting Kepler or Wallner for a day a week, pinch runner, defensive replacement.
  16. DJL44
    I don't think he has mastered AAA yet (790 OPS) and can still develop at that level.
  17. DJL44
    A 790 OPS in AAA doesn't offer much hope that he's actually better than Nick Gordon right now. It's about how MUCH better he is than Gordon as well as what happens to their depth if they cut Nick Gordon entirely. Do you try for the extra 0.2 WAR in April and regret it when you have to play Niko Goodrum out of position in June?
  18. DJL44
    If you're okay with him being limited to being a backup then I suppose you could make that move. I'd rather give him the chance to develop more in AAA instead of sitting on the bench. He'll definitely debut in 2024 and I expect him to start when he gets called up even if it is just as an injury replacement.

    Anyone know how to reverse jinx on this article?
  20. DJL44
    Fringe starters are getting $10-12M as free agents this offseason.
  21. DJL44
    The Twins are doubtful to sign anyone long-term because they don't have a long-term TV deal. They don't want to take the risk that people stop watching baseball on television completely or a meteor destroys Target Field. That could cause future financial distress like having to borrow $1M from their own bank, paying it back with interest paid for by Minneapolis taxpayers.
  22. DJL44
    Be prepared for this to happen all over again next offseason because the TV deal is only one season.
  23. DJL44
    If you multiply income by people Minneapolis - St. Paul is TWICE the size of Kansas City. There's plenty of money to go around even though there is competition from other sports. If the Twins can't outdraw the Timberwolves, who were a perennial doormat franchise before this season, that's their fault.
  24. DJL44
    It is crazy, given the market size advantage, that the Twins will end up with a local TV contract worse than Cleveland and Kansas City.
  25. DJL44
    Future revenues shouldn't enter into the equation unless you think MLB as a whole is going to see revenue crater. The Twins might run the attendance into the ground and continue to sign the worst TV deal in all of MLB but talented players on team-friendly extensions are an asset. They should do the extensions even if Target Field gets hit by a meteor tomorrow.
