  1. Not how my Jewish friends feel.
  2. Amen. If he'd have said "this core didn't turn out like we hope. We are assessing the best way forward, given that. But, the next time we have a core that is what we hope? We won't be decreasing payroll, but investing in it." That would have been great....
  3. Half-measures are not good, and you’ll probably get to know me over time: I’m not a half-measure guy," Pohlad said. "I’m a ‘go big or go home’ guy." This part? I mean, they are literally doing that this coming year, most likely. It isn't working, but the plan is to keep the GM and the same players? Ummmmmm?
  4. And he's going to miss 3-7 games every year. You can't build anything around that (not to mention the money!).
  5. He also made an anti semitic comment....so, ya, he's not going to be doing well this week (or for some time).
  6. Lots of comments from Tom on Gleeman's bluesky (and I assume X) posts. They, um, don't instill confidence.
  7. Mettelus out for the year. Gonna see just how underpaid he is, I think...
  8. Same, but very, very, few pro athletes can do that, due to their competitive natures, I'd guess.
  9. I somehow missed him saying the place he wants fans to go isn't first class. They are the worst at PR, no matter who speaks. All this time I thought it was the person, now I know it is the org.
  10. Why wouldn't it? That's how all major businesses are run.
  11. That was my first thought also. The bullpen was NOT what kept this "core" from competing...... I'm glad we now have the new owners announced. But talk, like the Pohlad's, is cheap. Let's see what they do to relentlessly focus on winning (like signing a mediocre first baseman/DH).
  12. Zips change at first base after signing Bell - 0 change. Literally the same number as before. 7 million well spent!
  13. No to all those. Lewis and Keaschell haven't shown any ability to be healthy. Wallner is 28. Lee? Wut?
  14. Geezo beezo. I hadn't really thought about this. Really? He's the third highest paid player?
  15. If I'm the second or third QB this year, I come out, because I'm not in the top five next year. Unless I get millions to stay, which I'm sure he'll get offered by Knight.
  16. I'm guessing I'd not like most pro athletes, given what we read.... luckily, you can just root for jerseys.
  17. Why would you move Keascell to the OF at this point? Four of Their top prospects are OF. Long term, it's about those 4 (2-3 being good or better). They also have Wallner and Roden and Martin on the roster (or Larnach/Outman). If Keaschell was moving anywhere, IMO, it would be first base.....
  18. Please don't. That said, McCarthy seems like the kind of guy people (well, some fans) like on their team, but hate on the other team. Just guessing here.....
  19. Concur. They need Turner to take his place and save some money.
  20. It would be great if he hits like he did the 2nd half of last year all year. That is, however, not likely. But, hey, it could happen.
  21. Career? Almost all of that was more than 3 years ago. If he DHs, he blocks Wallner or Roden (or Larnach, who I still don't get how he's around still) from playing. If he doesn't Dh, well, he's not good at first base at all. So, it comes down to a guy that isn't a great hitter playing awful defense at first, or blocking the Twins from finding out if Roden can hit or not in a likely lost year.
  22. It is getting hard to believe anything good is happening here....
  23. Who said there is any easy fix? Calling people who disagree with your take childish? Nice.
