    Based on what I saw in September and October, Lewis might not only be a a great player, but he gave me the impression that he will be the heart and soul of the Twins and bring excitement back to Twins' baseball. Get a deal done as fast as possible.

    I thought this was a Randball Stu posting. Any team that sets an MLB record for striking out shouldn't make a top ten list. Here are a couple 2023 statistics. HR 21st SB 24th B. 21st K 1st GDP 12th LOB 7th They were a fun team to watch in September and October. But #9 out of 63 Twins' teams? There were probably 9 better teams in the first 15 years alone.

    Yes. The Twins can't sign him and waste more money. At the time of the trade, I thought it was a gutsy attempt to improve the team at a very high cost. Unfortunately, it didn't work out (for the Twins). You win some and you lose some.

    I "think" the point of the article is that it's mid-December, the front office hasn't given us anything to discuss, and I want to write something.
  5. terrydactyls
    My guess (and that's all it is) is because, much like Miami last winter, Seattle has pitching prospects and needs at both RF and 2B. Just a guess! It would be a great trade if it happens.

    1. How should innings be "vamped up"? 2. Is it a fact that a lot of Law's ideas are way off? Or is that just your opinion stated as though it is a provable fact?

    Isn't his name Ober, not Uber? 😇
  8. terrydactyls
    NO NO NO!!! That's not the Twins Daily way of doing things! 😁😁 (Is there a sarcasm emoji?)
  9. terrydactyls
    Thanks to everyone that replied. It helps clarify the situation. (I still think it's a sleazy, but legal, way to get out of a bad situation.)

    What kind of plane? Cesna, Airbus, 777?
  11. terrydactyls
    I guess the question I really have is: If Diamond Sports is owned by Sinclair Communications and is solvent enough to buy sports franchises, why is the TV contract an issue? Something just smells funny to me. The ”bancruptcy" seems like a sneaky (but legal) way to get out of a bad deal.
  12. terrydactyls
    Completed. It was in the Portland Press Herald a couple days ago.
  13. terrydactyls
    Any bankruptcy experts in the crowd? Diamond Sports Group is the entity that is having financial difficulties and possibly declaring bankruptcy (or may have declared already). Is that correct? If they are in bankruptcy, why were they able to acquire the Worcester WooSox (Triple A) and the Portland Sea Dogs (Double A) minor league baseball teams? This is a serious question. I don't understand.

    Looking at FA never works? What about Verlander, Cole, Eovoldi, Scherzer, Nola?? Don't make blanket statements that aren't true. And no one said that we're trying to trade all of the four guys you mentioned. Those are the four "most likely" salaries that could be used in a trade. Finally, you had to include catcher bias as you do in so many of your posts. I get it. You think Jeffers is crap and that Vasquez was the guy who made the Twins' pitching staff great. I beg to differ. If freeing money by trading Vasquez can lead to obtaining good pitching, good-bye Christian.

    He'll be 20 in two days. And Baltimore sources such as Baltimore Banner report that he will be at spring training with a good chance of breaking camp with the Orioles. Also MLB radio was reporting the same thing yesterday.
  16. terrydactyls
    Haven't you heard about Orioles' prospect Jackson Holliday? He was named MiLB hitter of he year for 2023 and is expected o break camp with he Orioles next spring.
  17. terrydactyls
    You're joking, right? If Julien is such a detriment on the field, how is he landing a Lopez type pitcher? And don't compare Julien to Arraez. That comparison is laughable.

    Here's some random thoughts. 1. If the Twins reduce payroll by $35M, that's less than 1.5% of the current estimated value of the team. Is it worth it? 2. Many highly thought of business people became wealthy because they saw an opportunity and took a big risk. Maybe now would be the time to go for a title instead of playing it safe? 3. Is it possible that the lack of activity so far this off season is because they are hoping for a repeat of the Correa fiasco of last year? They are just waiting for Ohtani and Yamamoto to fall into their laps? Okay. #3 was an attempt at sarcasm.
  20. terrydactyls
    Giving a"sizable raise" to a manager would be the same as paying a crappy relief pitcher for a couple months.
  21. terrydactyls
    Or, if the Twins do reduce payroll to $120M, the media companies tell the Twins that their product isn't worth a big TV contract.
  22. terrydactyls
    Having to prove your random statement is true takes all the fun out of making comments.
  23. terrydactyls
    Best analogy ever!!
  24. terrydactyls
    Winder and Varland have the same value in a trade? I would not trust that site. Also, isn't Alek Manoah the guy who starts in all the Aquaman movies?
  25. terrydactyls
    San Diego lost Wacha, Martinez, and Lugo to free agency (along with Blake Snell who is out of the Twins' price range). All three of these could be good pickups for around what Maeda got from Detroit - maybe a little more.
