    I think the Minnesota "City /State" Connect uniforms and hats are beautiful. A lot of "Minnesota Nice" thought has gone into this design. I applaud the Twins and MLB and Nike for doing this. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My eyes tell me these uniforms are beautiful. My home county in North Carolina has beautiful Lake Norman, the largest man-made lake in North Carolina. The dam provides power for millions of North Carolinians. It also contains 50 square miles of surface area and over 500 miles of shoreline. There are beautiful trails for hiking and biking, largemouth bass and crappie are plentiful, and wonderful boating and sailing are available 365 days out of the year. It is a peaceful place. I'm sure Lake Norman may seem small to many of you reading this and I'm sorry to report there is no ice fishing here, but we can fish from boats and from shore 365 days out of the year. The city of Charlotte is less than 30 miles away and many beautiful lakefront homes border the lake. We in North Carolina are proud of our Lake Norman. We are also proud of our beautiful mountain streams that I can drive to, over winding country roads, by woods and pastures, and be there on the Blue Ridge Parkway in less than 2 hours from my home. There are abundant trout streams for fly fisher -persons. Mmmm, so good when cooked right. The Atlantic Ocean is only a 4 hour drive from my home. More delicious fish, plus crabs, clams and shrimp to catch. You in Minnesota are also rightly proud of your beautiful lakes, rivers and streams. I will never forget my first flight into Minneapolis as we flew over so many shimmering lakes. Gorgeous ! The unique blue ripple effect on the Twins' new uniforms reflect the pride and beauty of lovely Minnesota for this one North Carolina Twins' fan. Go Twins.

    I wonder if any thought was given to putting Lewis at 2B? Maybe that would be too risky, since Lewis has not played 2B much and the injury risk is there when turning a double play. Just asking.

    This chart makes me wonder what the Twins could get for Duran? Wait, wait, no, no. Don't do it. Just saying.

    I would advise any FO to read "Moneyball" before trading to Oakland for a reliever.

    Did you see what he did with the Mets this past week? He needs some help.

    I'm sorry I read your article, because I'm having flashbacks to some malcontents, (Lance Lynn, Simmons, Shoemaker and the worst: "The Rainmaker himself, Josh Donaldson). These were awful signings due largely to the attitudes of these players, causing problems in the clubhouse and on the field. I am so very glad to see that the FO has learned from its mistakes and now "Positive attitude" is a something which the FO acknowledges as being an important component of hires. "Minnesota nice" is not just an idle phrase. It means something important to me as a 70-year fan of this franchise, even though I live in North Carolina.

    Good article about a good suggestion. I do not see any downside to it. Thanks Cody.

    "Big Boy Towns" aren't worried? I have 3 words for that: "Boston - Babe Ruth"

    Can you just buy an MLB.com account? How do you propose to fire the owner?

    I hate to say this, but I think this article is correct.

    Great points Doc. Margot was a mistake from the time his contract was obtained. He has proven to be an even worse mistake by his lackluster play in the field and at bat. Even his few doubles and singles are not impressive to see. Kyle Farmer is probably going to be on the team until the end of the season. But had I been the FO of the Twins, I would not have signed Farmer to a $6 million extension in view of the owners chosing to cut payroll by $30 million. Here is a question that I would appreciate someone answering. How much of the $30 million allegedly lost due to the TV contract was recouped in the "new" tv deal? Where did that new tv money go in the Twins' budget? Will someone ask Falvine and the owners and St. Peter that question.

    Quick. Time to trade Margot. So far tonight he is 2 for 3 with an RBI and a double. Hurry. Call Atlanta, Call Tampa Bay. Call Miami. Hurry before Margot's next at bat.

    Festa looked really good in a 2024 spring training game I saw. (I know that is not a key test of his readiness, but just saying.) He is the next SP for the Twins, should/ when the need arises. I would like to see Keirsey brought up and Margot released/traded/ optioned/ off the roster. But then do the Twins send Julian to AAA when Lewis is ready? Only if Lewis plays 2B. Farmer is having a really poor year so far.

    Interesting question. However even though Max has been with the Twins a loooong time, it is too early in this relationship for the Twins to "pop the question" to Max. Let's re-visit this question after the 2024 World Series ends.

    Agree 100%

    I'll chip in for a portion of the $3M.

    It depends on the definition of "dregs" as to whether Margot qualifies. But suffice it to say, Margot's performance has been a disappointment, especially since it cost the Twins the top ranked fielder (a SS no less) among the entirety of the 2023 minor league players, plus $4,000,000.

    Good article about a good prospect.

    Zebby, Zebby, Zebby !

    Margot needs plenty of opportunities to prove himself, so when his average reaches .200 the Twins can try to trade him for anyone they can get.

    If Sands situation was evident to us "common fans", why did Rocco put Sands in? The long warm up, then the usage yesterday and now disaster for Sands. Ober had pitched a little over 100 pitches, however he was cruising. I would have let Ober keep pitching until the end of the inning, or someone got another hit off of him or he walked someone. I said so at the time as Sands jogged in from the bullpen.

    Ted, I hope you are right. However, when I saw Miller at Spring Training, I could tell there was something extra special about his fielding at the most important fielding position in baseball. I do respect your wisdom and baseball knowledge, but I must disagree with you about Miller vs. Doncon.
  24. tarheeltwinsfan
    Trading SS Noah Miller, the minor league platinum glove winner last season for a $4,000,000 Margot, was a big mistake. If I were hell bent on trading Miller, because there was no room on the Twins' roster for the best fielding minor league player (who is a SS to boot), at least I would have gotten some flame throwing pitching prospects with high upsides, similar to Miller's high upside, when he learns to hit.

    Zebby Mathews attended Western Carolina University, not Western Kentucky. He lives in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where WCU is located. I hope he will soon join fellow North Carolinians, Ryan Jeffers (Raleigh and UNC-Wilmington grad - majored in physics) and Bailey Ober (grew up in Huntersville NC) and they are soon joined by Southport, North Carolina native, Walker Jenkins.
