    This Comcast decision anchors the potential streaming price at $20/month. That's probably the best way to do it; pay $20/month for the Twins either on cable or standalone on streaming. I can't imagine why anyone would keep cable if those are the options but some people seem to like endless terrible reality TV shows and pharmaceutical advertisements.

    Using percentage of revenue takes ownership off the hook for negotiating the worst TV deal in all professional sports and all the other decisions that have minimized their revenue in a good market for sports.
  3. DJL44
    Yes, it would be like making a bad trade.
  4. DJL44
    Turn to Cal Quantrill?
  5. DJL44
    The Yankees are actually looking for infield help. Cortes for Kyle Farmer would be too lopsided for the Twins.
  6. DJL44
    I assume the Yankees are going to upgrade the rotation which is why Cortes is available.
  7. DJL44
    Noah Miller to the White Sox in the Fedde trade.
  8. DJL44
    Cortes for Kepler is the obvious move for the Twins.
  9. DJL44
    Dobnak is owed $3M for next season that they would want to get out from under.
  10. DJL44
    Yankees are reportedly making Nestor Cortes available. He has one more arbitration season left after this one. Would the Yankees trade Cortes for Max Kepler? That would give the Twins a LH starting pitcher and reduce the Twins payroll by about $2M which would allow them to add a reliever.

    The Blue Jays are not going to eat any of Kikuchi's salary. They need to dump it all to get under the luxury tax. If the Twins won't pick up Kikuchi's paycheck they won't get him.
  12. DJL44
    If payroll is really a problem they need to attach a prospect to Randy Dobnak and send him to a bad team who is willing to try him in the MLB rotation (Rockies, White Sox, Marlins).
  13. DJL44
    The Twins are going to get outbid on Snell. Kikuchi may not be "perfect" but he's good enough. He's pretty cheap in salary, won't cost a ransom in prospects to acquire and he's better than any lefthanded pitcher they have. Tanner Scott is also a good addition and his remaining salary is negligible (< $2M) but he will probably cost more in prospects than Kikuchi to provide basically the same performance. A good lefty could mean the difference between winning and losing a playoff series. Beyond Kikuchi and Scott there really isn't much available for rentals. Andrew Chafin is not exciting and Tyler Anderson is buying high.
  14. DJL44
    The Blue Jays have no interest in Kepler's expiring contract (they're dumping those) and nobody wants Dobnak.
  15. DJL44
    The markets aren't the same either. The NFL is #1 in the Twin Cities market and the NBA/WNBA are gaining in popularity. The Cardinals have the St. Louis market basically to themselves with just NHL hockey in the offseason and a brand-new MLS expansion team during the season.
  16. DJL44
    There are huge tax benefits to showing a paper loss. Think. Why would the value of a business keep increasing if it is not making money?
  17. DJL44
    Blake Snell is the perfect deadline. Nobody else increases their chances of winning in the playoffs more.
  18. DJL44
    Because the fans want the team to win a World Series but the owners want the team to turn a really big profit.
  19. DJL44
    I was listening to the Tigers feed on satellite radio. They mentioned Ober has pitched 26 innings against the Tigers this season with 2 earned runs allowed.
  20. DJL44
    You think the Twins want to pay another $4M to a pitcher they don't think is worth playing in the major leagues?
  21. DJL44
    I guarantee if another GM called this week and offered to take on the contract that Dobnak would be in a different uniform immediately.
  22. DJL44
    MLB should veto another contract with Diamond Sports.
  23. DJL44
    Eflin to the Orioles. That is a great trade for the birds.
  24. DJL44
    MLB made $378M per team last year and 48% of the revenue is pooled which gives the Twins $182M in revenue without selling a single ticket or hot dog.
  25. DJL44
    He might hit when he's healthy but he's not a good fielder anywhere even when he's healthy. He's about to start the arbitration process which will quickly make him more expensive than he's worth. He (currently) still has his option which makes him a decent depth player for one more year.
