Yikes. No one ever said to keep a player at his "preferred position". They said to find the best position for a player when they are in the minors, give him the proper coaching to make him proficient and then let him play at that position until is ready to be called up.

Carson McCusker and the Game of Inches
terrydactyls replied to Greggory Masterson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
There are too many players to be signed or traded for the Twins to act. They have to wait until the choices are few and not impactful. That is their MO. -
At last we have a new topic to beat to death.

A great example of one person mansplaining to a group of billionaires.
-
Good catch. Thanks.

The 2023 draft was mentioned as a prior draft.
-
I understand that the draft will be revealed this afternoon. But wasn't it already held on Sunday and everyone was sworn to secrecy until the league could make a big show out of it? If true, then they didn't keep it much of a secret. I read (and watched a video) of the Cleveland Guardians winning the first pick (2% chance) and dancing around their headquarters. I won't guarantee it's veracity, but if it is, what does it do to the Twins?
-
I've never seen one player get traded for 40 or 45 prospects. That's a lot of people. 😄
-
If that's what you meant, you probably should have said that. Just a suggestion, but I always read my posts before submitting them because often times what you type isn't what you meant. In my past life as an editor of technical manuals (boring!), I would go back to the authors and ask them if they really intended to say what they wrote. Very common.
-
If the 2026 payroll isn't decided on until March 1st, the only free agents still aound will be the leftovers. The budget needs to be decided now so the front office can move forward on building a "contender" for 2026.

If Outman gets a haircut, maybe he makes the opening day roster. Otherwise, he's gone.

This article is very interesting to me. IMHO, the four questions that are being asked are the same four questions that have been asked by most articles at TD since the 2025 season ended. The only difference is they are asked under the pretext that the winter meetings might answer them. And, of course, the responses from readers are the same as the answers in the many previous articles. Do people save their previous responses in a Word file and then "cut and paste" them as needed? The only thing that I'm expecting at these meetings is the finalization of the Twins' draft position. If anything else happens, we can discuss.

What's a "TB ere"?
-
For a vacation? 😄
-
The Twins may only win 75 games this upcoming season. Why spend any money on older relief pitchers? I am of the opinion that turning minor league starters who aren't on the fast track to becoming major league starters should be given 2026 to prove they can be MLB relief pitchers.

I took golf lessons over 15 years ago where they used similar technology to track my swing and then superimposed my swing over that of a PGA player with a comparable swing. I made minor tweaks that I would not have comprehended if explained non-visually. It greatly improved my ball striking - but not my score. I still couldn't putt.

What other players exist beyond "high, middle and lower tiered especially"?
-
Barf, barf, and more barf. The front office needs to meet with the young arms who are currently starters but they feel would be good relievers and ask the a single question. Would you rather continue starting but remain in the minors making $35k or switch to relief and join the big club and make $800K? I would be curious to see how many would prefer a minimal salary in order to chase a dream. I know I would jump at the chance to give it a try.

Why in the world is the Caribbean Winter League All-Star game in New York??? Winter baseball in New York City is not something I would find desirable.

I thought it was a 7:00 deadline?
-
I'm just reporting what I'm hearing out of Boston.
-
Two items. 1. To be competitive in 2026, all the Twins need is a "deftly executed deal"? That made me laugh. Falvey making a deftly executed deal is highly unlikely. 2. The only mention of Jerran Duran I've read out of Boston (I live near Boston) is that he is being projected to be a 4th outfielder. I wouldn't trade Lopez or Ryan for a 4th outfielder.
-
There were two things that struck me in the OP. 1. The quote from Falvey in which he says "It was my stated goal before and remains my stated goal until I'm told otherwise." This sounds like something a husband would say. "This is what I believe and I won't change - unless my wife tells me to." 2. I keep hearing that the "plan" is to keep what they have now and add help where needed. How can you add players if you don't have a semi-firm budget already in place? IMO, they will do nothing until a month before spring training starts, then finalize a budget to work with, and try to sign whatever reclamation projects are unsigned.
-
Who said anything about their financial statements? What is the budget? Who are the new investors and do they have any say in running the team?
