    We won't know until they try.
  2. Mike Sixel
    It's a seller's market, but other teams made trades. This idea that no trades were possible seems weird to me.
  3. Mike Sixel
    It's three GMs, and one ownership group. Over decades. This isn't a one time thing. The Twins went big at the deadline one time under this ownership. Why would we think it's the FO?

    Dan Hayes reported money was an issue in making any deals. Unsure who else did...
  5. Mike Sixel
    So, the reporting was bunk?
  6. Mike Sixel
    ? What does any of that have to do with Ober?
  7. Mike Sixel
    Detroit is 4 runs from being league median in runs scored this year.
  8. Mike Sixel
    braves are publicly traded.
  9. Mike Sixel
    No one is going to answer those questions......
  10. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but only one way to find out. It is 100% a stretch, but this is very different than a hitter, imo. Again, only one way to know.....that's all I'm asking for. Put him in AA as a RP, and see what happens for a few weeks. But, it isn't happening.
  11. Mike Sixel
    The media did report that money was an issue. What more do you want?
  12. Mike Sixel
    They have 10 40+ and 5 40 value players. They could have added a LHP for two of those and not sold the farm. It's not a switch, on/off. It's a dial.
  13. Mike Sixel
    this. But it is NOT how they operate.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I can't imagine they are signing after this year, given their budget constraints.

    https://blogs.fangraphs.com/zipsing-up-the-trade-deadline/ Looks like everyone in the AL that the Twins are fighting with got more better (making me wonder how the math actually works).
  16. Mike Sixel
    right, we never know what teams think about players, or if they want a position, or a guy closer to the majors or what.......other than what we see them do (but that takes time beyond the trade).
  17. Mike Sixel
    I think this is fair. I think it's also fair that people vent less than 24 hours after the team they root for does nothing at the trade deadline. Not even a full day yet.
  18. Mike Sixel
    The Kikuchi trade is being widely panned as a bad trade. I don't know why anyone would make that deal. Puk brought back a 40+ and a 40 (on Fangraphs). Twins have 10 40+ guys and a handful of 40 guys. They likely could lose one of each and been just fine.
  19. Mike Sixel
    they went for it once. Which I acknowledged several times.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Dude has been great this year, and deserves all kinds of praise.
  21. Mike Sixel
    Fair. I can't imagine how Puk was a deal breaker money wise, frankly. And, sorry, been a LONG week.
  22. Mike Sixel
    They haven't played a significantly different set of teams than most other teams. We are well over half way thru the year. Also, this post is made every year......almost no team is one player from being the best team in the league. The question is, could they have traded for a LHRP and been a better team? A team more likely to win? Not, should they have made a trade for a player that wasn't traded....
  23. Mike Sixel
    I think this is fair, and I"m good w/ not trading him......I'm just surprised they didn't emulate the Rays here.
  24. Mike Sixel
    We have reports from MN reporters saying money was an issue. I don't know how else to take that, other than money was an issue.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's true that so the lower revenue teams act this way. It's also true none of them win it all anytime. I think we should acknowledge that, and not get down on them for not winning it all.
