  1. It’s disappointing. One reason the forums like this started was the local coverage in subscription media was so bad.
  2. The next pitcher the Rays decide to cut might be Griffin Jax….
  3. Can we get Tampa to give up on some more pitchers?
  4. He teed off on a terrible Las Vegas pitching staff. Let’s see how he does against some other teams.
  5. I think he’s a utility player on a good roster. He switch hits so he can fill in anywhere. I think 3B is his best position. Throws are easier at 3B than at SS.
  6. It’s worse than that. They have convinced themselves that straddling the fence is a genius developmental strategy and they’re going to be trend setters.
  7. They seem to think this every 4 day piggyback role is a great idea but it sure hasn’t shown any results.
  8. I have heard rumors about putting the first part of the game on over the air TV but the ending on the streaming service. Pay if you want to see how it ends.
  9. The Cubs could use Joe Ryan. They have had several starting pitchers injured. Rojas, Wiggins, Alcantara, Ramirez and Long are all interesting prospects. He could move before the deadline. The rest will wait until July. Jeffers will get dealt to a contender. He’s a huge upgrade on anyone’s 2nd catcher. Sell Larnach while he has value. His arbitration cost will go up next season. Sell Ober for the same reason. Josh Bell might not be tradeable. He’s an expensive DH for his production. Rogers, Topa and Banda are unlikely to return anything of value.
  10. If you have a pitcher who can consistently give you 3 scoreless innings, make them a starter.
  11. Santana is what they spent the savings on. If they had kept Polanco they would have received a bad season from an expensive player. I don’t think they had any other teams besides the Mariners bidding for Polanco’s services. I think you are overestimating the value of the “asset”. Old second basemen are not hard to find. The Twins win the trade if they sell Polanco for $1. If that’s the “worst trade in franchise history” they’re the most blessed team in trades in the history of MLB.
  12. They got top prospect Gonzalez and signed Carlos Santana. Santana had a better 2024 than Polanco.
  13. You think they will throw in the towel when they’re 2.5 games out of first place?
  14. And still unplayable in the field. The Twins have enough LH platoon DH.
  15. Can we save the Wallner bashing for the games where he didn’t drive in all the team’s runs?
  16. The one where the Twins traded away an expensive season of a poor performing player?
  17. Roa would walk in a bunch of runs instead of giving up dingers. None of those pitchers will help.
  18. 822 OPS in AAA is not impressive. That says “do not promote”.
  19. If you send down Lewis to AAA your only choice to replace him is someone worse than Royce Lewis.
  20. Lee is most valuable as a utility infielder who can platoon with everybody in the infield. The Twins should be looking for a better bat at 1B if they want to contend.
