    The Pohlads don’t want to invest in the success of the team, don’t get me wrong. But if all this was was an owner-mandated salary purge, Falvey failed even by that measure. Falvey might have stopped at simply trading Correa and taken credit for that, job well done, or gone the full way and traded Pablo, Joe Ryan or Jeffers on top of all the rest, but he didn’t do that either. if it’s a salary purge, the return is secondary, even if you’re trading Joe Ryan.

    Good post. I would say I agree with bits and pieces of it here. I firmly believe that the hitting piece comes with just settling into a regular role in the field and spot in the lineup. I have a protocol or conditions to test this (it’s all still in my head unfortunately) and I almost set to work on it a couple months ago, but it’s a lot of work and I don’t know the best new tools other then by hand. Maybe during the offseason I will circle back: the offseason comes early in Twins Territory under this regime.

    Yes they did. They weren’t the most talented team in the AL but they had more than enough talent to make a postseason run. it was basically the same team they had in 2023, except Buxton is finally healthy. So probably better than 2023.
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    They called a time out and did the egg toss game early in spring training in 2023, so there were issues at least that far back.

    Correa looks better in a Houston uniform. He looks like he’s right at home.
  6. Hosken Bombo Disco
    .850, .834, .711., .905, and .696 as of yesterday… Thats not a downward trajectory to you?
  7. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I noticed those two. Baseball can still be fun. There was also a game earlier this week when both teams scored 8 runs in the 8th inning. 🙂

    It’s overall. nice sentiment, and well-written. I do wonder if Rocco’s blend of nice guy incompetence is part of why the clubhouse is no fun place to be.

    Sell-offs are a losing game. There’s nothing wrong with making a couple of deals during a lost season, but that’s not what happened here. Selling is for losers. That’s how I pegged these guys the 2018 deadline, and the events at 2025 deadline have finally confirmed it for everyone.
  10. Hosken Bombo Disco
    i want to see them put the 16 year old they traded for in the MLB lineup!
  11. Hosken Bombo Disco
    That is a question I would like to know the answer to. No, I really do not think the Pohlads micromanage this. but who knows anymore
  12. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Nothing about ‘payroll’ either, not even a hint or nod or sideways remark about it. Leads me to think the tragedy of yesterday was the result of one man, acting alone, who caught a bad fever. I also think he believes every word of that letter.

    The Twins traded away the team’s top three relief pitchers. All three were under team control, none were ‘rentals’. Each had settled into roles and the bullpen formed a cohesion around them. It can take years to identify and test pitchers who can fill those late inning relief roles over the long term, and find success. If you don’t believe me, go back and look at some of the pitchers who have been brought in over the last several seasons. Duran, Jax, and Varland were the nucleus of a relief corps that got the job done during the 2023 postseason, and could hopefully support a postseason run in the future. All three of them are gone now. No, trading away your top three relief pitchers, combined with all the other moves, is not a rebuild or ‘full re-set’ or whatever you want to call it.

    I see nothing funny about what is happening today. It is sad. Fans are owed answers and ticket holders deserve remedies.

    I see nothing funny about what is happening today. On its face it looks like subversion, or immaturity, if we are feeling charitable. Fans deserve long-form answers and stakeholders deserve remedies.
  16. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s not like there are a lot of bang-bang plays at first.
  17. Hosken Bombo Disco
    So let say you are the GM of the Twins. Most people agree the Twins fell out of contention for this season. Thus, you are sellers. However, you will want to regroup and compete again in 2026 (fan excitement, ticket sales, ads, etc). Some team has offered you Jhoan Duran, and in return, they are asking for Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait. Would you do that trade to boost your team for next season and the season after?
  18. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I think what you said about Duran is the consensus in this thread, with much disappointment (and worse) to go along with it. However, it is not universal. The arguing is about the return from Philly, and doing the deal a day early, and not improving the offense in the near term. Not too much being said about Jax one way or the other. Also some arguing about chess—let me promote our chess thread here 🙂 https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/54299-chess-world-championship/#comment-1256384

    Heh, they did all right together as a team. I admit I forgot Shelton was currently unemployed.
  20. Hosken Bombo Disco
    The Twins can make Tingler the interim manager for the final two months, close on the Correa trade, and then first thing when the season’s done, bring in a solid manager from the outside who can keep these guys sharp and guide them though a full season. That can get you back to 86-88 wins on its own, even with the current roster and pitching staff (provided they keep the big names) and none of it requires Pohlad to be involved. Baldelli will come out somewhere else just fine.
  21. Hosken Bombo Disco
    100% guaranteed he springs back to life Only thing is he may need to agree to move to third base when Peña returns.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    A good place to be, or to be aware of anyway. A place this organization probably hasn’t been in since the early 2000s
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Giving away runs matters.
  25. Hosken Bombo Disco
    All the trade/sell stuff is exciting and fun to discuss. For this team to actually make a run, let alone compete or be good again, they 100% need a new manager from the outside, regardless of the players.
