    What's the actual difference between 10 285 and 13 350? I mean, given the time value of money, not much really. It's actually less per year. If he's awful after 10 years, just cut him.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Oh, I'd just cut him.

    With the previous regime's players.....they weren't a .500 team the last two years. At some point, results matter. Are they getting better, or worse, the longer they are in control? They did what Ryan wouldn't the two winning years, they added to a good team. Injuries were awful last year, but they dealt for two SPs with injury histories (I liked the Mahle risk).
  4. Mike Sixel
    Agreed.
  5. Mike Sixel
    And they aren't signing Ohtani....so, like, they are competing for three players.
  6. Mike Sixel
    And I pointed out the owners illegally colluded in one of those eras.......
  7. Mike Sixel
    Sure. But that's still better than paying the money earlier. I proposed a ten year deal, 350, paid over twenty years. SF just did it over thirteen.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Ah. Got it.
  9. Mike Sixel
    This. They drafted two guys in round one that weren't valuable enough to trade for a RP within two years of drafting them. That's hard to do. They've refused to use money on pitching, preferring to trade prospects. Eventually, you run out of prospects.....
  10. Mike Sixel
    I'm not ignoring anything. I don't agree prices for players are going down.
  11. Mike Sixel
    If the Twins won't sign elite players, they should be willing to take bad contracts for better prospects.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Why do people keep posting this? Has it ever happened?
  13. Mike Sixel
    Baseball had to pay money to the players for illegal collusion in 2001-2003..... I guess they could risk that again.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bassit....
  15. Mike Sixel
    Name a year contracts have gone down. Baseball revenue is mostly tv and radio. Those deals are locked in. Prices aren't going down for players.
  16. Mike Sixel
    On the other hand, the longer they are in control, and the further we get from the previous regime and their players, the worse the team is ...... So maybe you are right, Brock.
  17. Mike Sixel
    How has that worked out for winning?
  18. Mike Sixel
    I doubt casual fans would care.
  19. Mike Sixel
    This. Either they don't understand the market they claim they want to play in, or it's PR. If it's the former, they should be fired.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Name a year contracts go down. Save it for what? They don't sign elite players. What are they saving the money for?
  21. Mike Sixel
    Remember when under Ryan they were " in on" Cubans? Same now, except elite free agents.
  22. Mike Sixel
    And it isn't like players they trade for don't get hurt.... There's risk too.
  23. Mike Sixel
    It isn't an overpay if it keeps happening. That's the price for elite talent.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Nothing? Casual fans show up for home runs and winning.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Why? They have Farmer. What does Iglesias do?
