    Front office showed last year how much they love depth, among hitters. This year they want it for pitchers, and likely have it for hitters, though they need another OF....
  2. Mike Sixel
    Almost rounding errors there. I mean they aren't, but they aren't far off either.
  3. Mike Sixel
    Also, this ignores the annual cash flow as part of the return. It's much higher than the simple math shows.

    I have a master's in finance and have worked with those people. Let's be real, they have so much money, risk is truly irrelevant to them. But they make neat market rate with no downside risk. That's the key. No downside risk at all. They would buy every bond ever if they got seven percent with no risk
  5. Mike Sixel
    Sure, not the point at all. No owner sells at a loss ever. There's no real risk.
  6. Mike Sixel
    I'm also surprised at all the DCs landing these jobs. And yes, Flores is being discriminated against, it appears
  7. Mike Sixel
    The next time someone says the owners are taking financial risk, remember this and roll your eyes.

    Not one projection system likes him even close to that much.....Cruz was pretty amazing here.

    Well, even if they are iffy on the prospects, fangraphs sure likes this trade for MN https://blogs.fangraphs.com/twins-and-mariners-link-up-for-intriguing-swap/

    I didn't say "untouchable"....I said it was unreal to fire a FO after their best year in decades....a FO which has had them in the playoffs more years than not....
  12. Mike Sixel
    I never said to promote him....I said it was odd to say he hasn't shown anything in the minors after 1 year in professional ball when he reached AAA. Not once did I say promote him....I said people judging him as "not all that great" which many here are doing, seems premature. YMMV, of course.
  13. Mike Sixel
    If you don't think buxton, lewis, and AK are playing much, there is no reason to build for the present.....unless you think they'll find a 3B, 1B, CF and very good SP somehow with this budget. I agree there were plenty of ABs for Polanco, though.
  14. Mike Sixel
    "When he tells us he’s ready to go, we’re going to get him up to the big leagues.” Ya, not until someone gets hurt, they've shown that over and over. As for the idea, no. Lee is not signing this kind of deal. He's been hyped and prepped for a long time, and is 1 year from being drafted. He's betting on himself, easy.
  15. Mike Sixel
    1, A trade for a guy if they are in contention. Is this debatable? 2. Ya, no. They also got rid of Polanco's salary. They netted 5-8 million (I've seen different numbers). 3. Yup. And I doubt the Twins love him either. He was there to even out the money so the Twins got more prospect capital.
  16. Mike Sixel
    They might, might, deal for a player that makes money (or at the deadline). Things I think are true: The Twins are less good now for 2024 than they were. The bullpen is better. The SP is deeper, but I'm not a fan of the new guy and have doubts. It sucks for Varland if he's in AAA, as he's losing a ton of money will in AAA. The farm is deeper. They aren't done trading. Things I like: I like the new RP I like the new prospects, and think the pitcher could move quickly if they make him a RP full time. I like the new OF..... Things I think will happen: Twins will sign an ok player. Twins will trade for a good player. It's possible for most of the thoughts on this thread to be true at the same time. Things I'm certain of: Seattle was not dealing any of their good ML SP. No way.
  17. Mike Sixel
    Fair.....but if the front 7 isn't addressed, not even Mahomes could carry this team to the promised land.
  18. Mike Sixel
    "still" I mean, sure, if 2-3 months in AAA shows us anything much......He was in AAA less than a year from being drafted, and people say he hasn't shown anything....
  19. Mike Sixel
    They just won the division and advanced in the playoffs, and you want to fire the FO? Unreal.
  20. Mike Sixel
    DL,DL, DL They have zero good starters in the front 4-5 right now.....
  21. Mike Sixel
    Or, they got some money, a RP and will use that money to replace Polanco with someone similar, or in a position of more need? Plus two prospects....
  22. Mike Sixel
    If they spend the money well, they get a good player, a good RP, a fifth starter, a good prospect, and a flyer prospect..... I'm failing to see this as anything but good, assuming they spend the money well.
  23. Mike Sixel
    None of whom are starting pitchers in the majors.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Because gray is gone? I mean, it seems likely they won't be as good or healthy, so more bullpen arms they trust is important.
  25. Mike Sixel
    I'm struggling to figure out who they can sign or trade for, looking at the free agents and bad teams.... Twins need an OF, DH, maybe 1b..... That's bellinger, but they aren't paying that. But yes, if they reallocate that money, and get a legit player, it's hard not to like the deal.
