  1. They've said Chalmers has the ability, but there is a lot of downside risk and probability. Iirc
  2. Given that he hasn't signed, I doubt either team is offering close to the $100MM he's asking for. I have no idea what will happen here.....
  3. No, it's not. Everyone knew they would try to add pitching. It's not even close to the same thing. I do agree with the last part though. I don't think they should lay out their plans in any kind of detail.
  4. Then why does he keep typing it? Of course the other parts matter, but if that's not his point, he should stop typing it over and over.
  5. The players do not make too much money. Either they get it, or the owners.
  6. It is the job of the FO to fix that. And, I'm guessing if they bid the most more often, they'll get someone to come....
  7. I would not have signed Donaldson if they paid that much for a pitcher
  8. Not all five, one of the five. Or the money goes to the owners. Players or owners. I'd rather they add players.
  9. Is Jason Castro the biggest free agent deal for this FO? In four off seasons?
  10. Necessary and sufficient are two different things.... People are saying pitching is necessary, not sufficient.
  11. We've seen teh first two....and the last two are on PRIME, but now you have to pay.....we'll probably just watch a bunch of included stuff, we'll see.
  12. What good is targeting if you miss the target? Is all we care about effort?
  13. I don't know that Smith is a better prospect than the guys they already have. Like, I have no idea. But if he is, I doubt Gordon and Romero can get him to MN.
  14. Agreed, but it is their job to improve the team. If they can't convince free agents to come here, they need to improve on that ability. That's part of their job, just like every executive in their position.
  15. The KEY WORD was added.......added was the key word in the post.
  16. This was the largest and best free agent starting pitching class in years, maybe decades. They had one, huge, glaring, weakness. So far, they've added a number five starter, and a guy who won't be healthy until July. Would you can that a success?
  17. Great win. I was clearly wrong about this game! Wish I could have watched it. I miss having a day full of football background noise....
  18. I'd suggest they win one playoff game before we talk about "championship" windows. But that's just me. YMMV, of course.
  19. Your post said fans don't get probabilities.... Did it not?
  20. No one is disagreeing, bit that had nothing to do with the Royals trades. I'd love it if the Twins traded good prospects for great players and then signed them to long extensions. If they drafted and developed pitchers.
  21. Fine, how do you pass them next year? Which was clearly the question. And, there are no guarantees.
  22. The Royals didn't sell the farm. One guy they traded turned out to be good, maybe two.
  23. And how do you propose closing the gap next year, when Cruz is gone, and there are less free agent pitchers? Just keep waiting for the exact perfect moment?
  24. Chief literally posted adding good players increases your probability of success, so I don't get this rant.
