    Makes you wonder if the Twins put Buxton on waivers if anyone would have claimed him. I almost agree on shutting him down for the rest of this season and 2024 and hope for a good 2025. That's a bleak outlook for sure. I hope the contract is insured.

    Too bad MLB can't be like fantasy sports. Once a team claims a player they go to the bottom of the list.

    I would trade 20 losing seasons for another World Series title. We still have the Saints in town.

    Nice debut tonight. I am upset that the Twins didn't get him with the water or gatorade when he got interviewed after the game. Careers are too short and you never want to miss out on getting a little post game celebration.

    People also forget about the money the team would make from Japan for the broadcast rights to the Twins games. Angels were getting 30M a year from Japan.

    Just think if the Twins didn't give that massive mistake of a contract to Correa. Then you could really step into the Ohtani sweepstakes for real.

    The best use of Duran would have been in the Andrew Miller role like Cleveland did with him. Only problem is the Twins were too cheap to add a solid RP when there were so many available late in free agency.

    Is there any point into rushing him up this season? Nobody can actually think the Twins have a good enough team to even get out of the first round. And to be honest, the Twins still have win the division before we get to that point.
  9. darin617
    I don't think it would have mattered either way. Which makes no sense why the Twins go out and spent a ton on Correa and then decide to play it smart and not make any moves.

    There were so many bullpen options available in January and the Twins were too cheap to add an arm or 2.
  11. darin617
    Exactly, they should have dealt Gray or Maeda if they weren't going to do anything to improve the team. They could have easily dealt one of them and still won the crappy division.

    Pitchers don't need to throw 100 mph to get people out. I'm not calling Keuchel the best pitchers ever either. Go look back at Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine. They never threw hard but knew how to pitch. To be honest, with everyone trying to hit a home run every time coming up all a pitcher needs is the ability to effectively change speeds and have great location with their pitches and these hitters would have no chance.

    If a player is going to get it doesn't matter what position they play. I still would like to know what is exactly wrong with Buxton "physically". Isn't this like buying a new car and not driving it?
  14. darin617
    If they can get a haul for Sonny Gray I wouldn't pass it up. Twins will win a bad division and get swept by a wild card team. Only other option is to keep Gray and extend a qualifying offer and get a pick when he rejects it. I would rather take the prospects that are MLB ready over a pick any day. It would be different if the Twins were playing like leaders.
  15. darin617
    If he gets recalled he needs to play every day. So Farmer gets demoted to the bench?
  16. darin617
    Correa to bench and call up Lewis..
  17. darin617
    You they should have added a piece to the pen in the winter. Now they will end up trading prospects in July to shore it up.
  18. darin617
    If he is healthy give him like 3-4 starts and if things don't work out put him in long relief until he regains himself. Ober has earned the spot. And who cares about how Maeda feels about getting demoted to the bullpen. If he had a great year he would be gone via free agency any way.
  19. darin617
    Or just look at his history and then you would know 150 games is almost impossible unless he accepts being a DH for well over half of the time.
  20. darin617
    Didn't hear it but all I can say I don't like the idea of a 6 man rotation how baseball is today. This would have worked when starters actually went 7+ innings. With starters rarely seeing the 6th inning now a team would probably burn out their bullpen quickly. The team would also need a very good bullpen to deal with this all the time. It may also cut down on the amount of bench players a team has to use.
  21. darin617
    The defense is great but if it means he is only able to play in 100 games all season it's a waste of the bat.
  22. darin617
    Maybe they try converting him into a relief pitcher this year. He is owed $7,750,000 through 2026 so there is no reason to just cut him and move on. It's not big money but if he can come back it's worth hanging onto him especially since he's not taking a spot on the 40 man roster.
  23. darin617
    This will be good as long as the ball stays in the park. All of them can sure cover some ground.
  24. darin617
    God bless steroids and that there were rules against them at the time.
  25. darin617
    All teams are trying that approach. I think only Houston has an open spot as of right now. Once players can be put on the 60 day IL there will be a bunch of moves happening.
