    I wouldn't trade Arraez for a catcher. For a top of the rotation starter or a starting SS with 3 (or more) seasons of team control like Arraez? Yes. That's a short list: Dylan Cease, Freddy Peralta, Andrew Civale, Bo Bichette.

    I looked it up. Yes, inside Nordstrom's at Mall of America.

    The Twins received fair value from the Mauer contract.

    Waiting for the guest appearance from Richard Moll and Marsha Warfield on "Bailiff Night at Target Field"

    I agree with this sentiment. A 1 year $10M contract for Urshela is a no-brainer. Non-tender would be stupid. They won't find a better deal among free agents.

    I also have never shopped at Dior. I've heard of it but I wouldn't even know where they have a store. I looked it up and anyone spending $990 for a t-shirt is just doing it to show off how much money they have to waste. By his analogy I would have to believe that spending money on Carlos Correa is just wasteful, conspicuous consumption for a rich team to try to impress rich people.
  7. DJL44
    This is true. Carlos Correa just had the best season by a Twins SS since Roy Smalley in the late 1970s. He was worth every penny of his contract.

    David Price was the cost to get Mookie Betts. They're thrilled to have Mookie Betts.

    The free agent market for 2B is very weak this offseason. Trade Jorge Polanco and move Arraez back to 2B. They have Nick Gordon as a backup and Edouard Julien should be in AAA. This all seems a little off topic.

    Looking at these three, I wouldn't count on Kirilloff to ever play again. Larnach should be the starting LF and Wallner can take Kyle Garlick's spot on the roster. If you could take the best characteristics of Wallner and Kepler you'd have an All-Star.
  11. DJL44
    Don't count out Celestino. He's younger than this trio and has the best glove.

    That surgery has me very worried about his future in MLB. If he gets 500 at-bats he should get consideration for Comeback Player of the Year
  13. DJL44
    It's not an opinion contest. If you want the batting title you need hits.

    I would still bring in another starting pitcher through free agency. You see Gray, Mahle, Ryan, Maeda, Ober, Paddack, Winder, Varland, SWR and Balazovic I see good, injured, decent, old & injured, injured and inexperienced, injured, injured and inexperienced, rookie, rookie and ineffective. Almost everyone is either past their prime, coming into their prime or coming off an injury. They had nearly the same mix of pitchers this season and still gave 300 innings to Bundy, Archer and Smeltzer. It would be great to add someone like Kyle Gibson, Jameson Taillon or Noah Syndergaard to that group. They can move Maeda and/or Winder to the bullpen if needed to fit everyone on the roster.

    Austin Martin has a lot better foot speed than Arraez. I like the Nick Gordon comp. Both highly rated draft picks who can't quite handle SS at the big league level. Maybe Martin can hit the cutoff on a relay. I don't think Celestino has hit his ceiling yet. He makes a lot of rookie mistakes. I doubt we see Martin debut until September 2023. He won't be on the 40 man roster this offseason.
  16. DJL44
    Any update on his defense?
  17. DJL44
    Yeah, but with Buxton as the patient
  18. DJL44
    I thought it was a core muscle injury for Larnach. Kirilloff has the wrist injury. We need a Twins "Operation" where you match the injured player with the body part.
  19. DJL44
    I want to see Woods-Richardson pitching against Detroit on 10/1. No more starts from Bundy or Archer.
  20. DJL44
    Caleb Hamilton is lousy, shouldn't be in the big leagues.
  21. DJL44
    He's paid what he's worth. If he could play healthy every day he'd be worth $300M. He can't so the Twins get a discount.
  22. DJL44
    No. If another team wants Helman I'm pretty sure they could get him for cash.
  23. DJL44
    I figured the team would try to find a shortstop better than Palacios for AAA. There are usually better options among minor league free agents. Helman should probably try to find a different organization with a clearer path to the big leagues but it's more likely any port in a storm to make sure he doesn't have to play independent ball. Martin and Julien should both move up to begin next season. Martin doesn't need a 3rd year in Double-A.
  24. DJL44
    He's a prospect because he's hitting. He will have to hit his way to the major leagues. At age 24 it's unlikely his fielding gets much better. He needs to be at a level where he is challenged at the plate. BTW - they have a term for someone who doesn't make the big leagues until 28: non-prospect.
  25. DJL44
    He's going to be 24 next season. I don't see a reason why he should spend any time lower than Cedar Rapids. Start him at Double-A and see how he does.
