    I can't believe Arraez is only 29 years old. It seems like he played in Minnesota 15-20 years ago!

    Just a mathematical comment to add. The Twins already have $23M allotted to Jeffers for 2027. So a 3-year $50M offer is actually a 2-year extension for $27M ($13.5M AAV).

    They can only do better??? They can do far worse and that is what I am predicting if Jeffers signs the QO.

    I'm sure someone can compile analytics to prove the impact is whatever you want it to be. I was a part of a company that supplied data analysts to the Pentagon. When we had a new contract meeting a client, one of the first questions we would ask is "what do you want the statistics to prove?"

    If the Twins do not trust these three players, they will be in horrible shape for 2027. Welcome back Tristan Gray and Ryan Kreidler. Brooks Lee goes back to SS and Royce Lewis covers 3B. Is James Outman still available?
  25. terrydactyls
    This is not advocating for or against the QO for Jeffers. This is a clarification of the current salary situation. In 2027, the Twins will pay Lopez $21.7M, pay Buxton $15M, and send $10M to Houston as part of the Correa trade. That is exactly the same amount that the Twins spent in 2026. If Pohlad is really interested in increasing payroll, these expenditures have zero impact on increasing the budget and should not be included in discussions about "increasing" the budget.
  26. terrydactyls
    One reason why the "pipeline" is barren is the inane belief of the front office that the 2026 team was a playoff quality team. If they had actively sought trade partners to move Ryan, Jeffers, Larnach, Bell, etc., there might have been a couple of AA or AAA pitchers worth considering as potential keys to the 2027/2028 roster.

    What I was pointing out was that what you were writing is unintelligible. What is the good of taking the time to write your opinion if no one can figure out what you mean. This isn't a comment on your intelligence. I gave the same advice to the CEO of Honeywell when I had to edit his written opinions for publication.

    Take the time to read before sending. For example, if you had read this before sending, you may not have said "so maybe it's better just to stay on the topic at hand rather than being so critical of somebody's pronunciation spelling. I'm one of the best spellers I know. few people can spell as well as I do large words give them to me.

    How do you know the article does not meet your standards if you didn't "actually" read it? My problem with the article (which I actually did read) is that I think I read the same one during the 2025 offseason.
  31. terrydactyls
    I would start with bad grammar, spelling, and improper use of punctuation.
  32. terrydactyls
    Please explain your math. It doesn't make any sense to me.
  33. terrydactyls
    There is new evidence that it wasn't Bender tipping pitches. Several people have alleged that Carlos Correa was seen banging trash can lids from center field. 😄
  34. terrydactyls
    Exactly. Knowing you should throw strikes and doing it are two entirely different things. I can't picture any pitcher going on to the field thinking that he should probably get behind in the count before throwing a strike.

    Accusations, but no proof? Sign him to a minimum contract to play with the Mighty Mussels. See what happens.
