There were. If the plan was to acquire expensive pitchers, they could have done that. If that wasn't the plan, why is it now the plan?
-
Why not just sign a pitcher and not deal prospects for one, if he's pricy? If he's not pricy, you didn't need to free up money. People really think they'll sign Story? To like a seven year deal? I'll be shocked.

Where exactly can they spend all this flexibility?

Why trade for Gray if you aren't trying to compete this year? If you are, where can they spend money at this point?
-
I think so. But there are random AAAA catchers out there, I think.
-
Why? It's pretty hard to have two conversations.
-
They just dealt from the future for a pitcher.... So ?
-
Can we please combine the threads? Please.

What makes you think there is competition? If Urshela is here, he's the starter.
-
You think the two they got back are better than the two they gave up? I think Rortdvert is also in the deal.
-
Everyone on this board is a better defensive catcher than Sanchez. And, they have no shortstop again. And urshela? I have no idea what they are doing. They are worse at catcher and still have no shortstop.

In a vacuum, A On a team that didn't play in free agency when the best players were there? B
-
Guess they aren't blowing it up. Look for a Hunter extension next. We'll see how much coaching matters!
-
In not sure what this means? I said not doing anything in free agency indicated to me they weren't going for it this year. That they were playing for the future. Lots of other here have said the same thing. No one said they saved money for future years.
-
Agreed . If they are serious about this year, they need more.

I never said that. Not once. Nor implied it.
-
It isn't playing for the present.
-
This makes the trade yesterday make more sense. Apparently they are trying to win? The Bundy signing makes less and less sense though.

Sitting out free agency despite being way under last year's budget.
-
This. They spent free agency playing for the future.... Then the last two days are all about the present. Baffling.

Shocking. I really don't understand the plan. If it is too compete, why not sign a pitcher that is good before? I thought they were building for the future, but the last two days are all about the present.

The Twins and the lockout whirlwind day 5
Mike Sixel replied to mikelink45's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I can see one more veteran starter coming. They need to sort out the pitchers in the minors. They had room to sign one of the two great shortstops left. They didn't. I can't see them ever signing a legit pitcher, they don't need corner players..... So, ya, good luck twins fans. This payroll is going to plummet next year. -
MLBTR: Twins interested in Johnny Cueto
Mike Sixel replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Yes. Not sure. That's the goal, make more money this year! Pocket it. Probably next year will be even less spending.
