    Isn't he the blind singer who was popular 25 years ago?
  2. terrydactyls
    My feelings exactly! That's why I think the Twins should invest any money or prospects trying to improve the 2023 team. Put up the "We Are Sellers" sign right now and get ready for a very busy July.
  3. terrydactyls
    IMHO, the best move for the Twins between now and spring training is to sign as many players as they can that they believe can be traded in late July.

    I heard a rumor today that Rodon is now looking for a seven year deal. If that is true then NO THANKS!!! Also, the 1956 Sci-fi classic was about Rodan, not Rodon.

    When Correa signs with SF, this off-season can be officially labeled a Titanic-size failure. But the payroll will be under $100M and the Pohlad's can celebrate (with KFC takeout to save money).
  6. terrydactyls
    The shelves are nearly empty and all the Twins have done is talk. Time to act. Offer Correa 13/$390M and offer Dansby 10/$250M. First one to accept their offer is our new SS. Then use the remaining budget (plus a little extra) to sign either Bassitt or Eovaldi, Duvall and Narvaez. If neither Correa or Dansby sign, Farmer is then crowned the interim SS and additional acquisitions continue. A successful off-season is now complete and spring training is coming soon.

    Thanks

    The Mets 2023 payroll now is at $343M. I guess some teams aren't hesitant to go after what they feel they need to win.

    Two questions. 1. What does FrRnd stand for? 2. Why is "minors" in parentheses for each person?
  10. terrydactyls
    If that is the case, here is my solution. Immediately sign Chris Bassitt, Adam Duvall, Michael Fulmer, and Omar Narvaez. Assuming the current Twins' payroll is about $95M, these signings would add about $37M (values taken from Spotrac) for a new payroll of $132M. Offer Correa 13 years/$390M with player and team opt-outs after 7 and 10 years. (By the way, with revenues and player salaries going up, $30M will seem like an average contract by year 7.) This offer should satisfy the egos of both Scott Boris and Correa. If Correa accepts the offer, payroll is at $162M. If he still wants to negotiate, offer Dansby Swanson 12 years/$300. Payroll drops to $157M. If Swanson says no to that offer, Kyle Farmer is now the SS and payroll ends up at $132M. These scenarios all get the Twins a catcher who hits left handed, a LF who hits right handed, a starting pitcher at least as good as Gray, bullpen help, and a SS (with different levels of ability depending on which scenario is implemented).

    The Twins have a 60% chance of signing Correa and the Giants have a 50% chance? That math doesn't add up!
  12. terrydactyls
    This is right on the money (no pun intended). I also think it might help with the Correa negotiations. Signing Bassitt would show Correa that the Twins are serious about building a quality team. Also sign either Vasquez or Narvaez quickly before they are gone. Push the damn budget to $170M (inflation is real - even us senior citizens get a raise next month).
  13. terrydactyls
    Chris Bassitt is waiting for an offer.
  14. terrydactyls
    An interview with the owner of the Padres a couple weeks ago provides the simple answer. He said two things: 1. I love to spend money. 2, You can't take it with you. If the Pohlads would adopt this attitude, then the Twins could spend like the Padres.
  15. terrydactyls
    It's due to the supply chain problems.
  16. terrydactyls
    Whatever the first four picks are, DO NOT draft a power bat with a lot of swing-and-miss!!! We've seen enough of those. (Actually, we haven't "seen" any of them because they never get past AA level.)
  17. terrydactyls
    Dansby Swanson would be a very nice consolation prize if SF signs Correa. And a lot cheaper.
  18. terrydactyls
    I had a dream last night that the Twins waited until the end of the Winter Meetings to announce in a single press conference that they had signed Carlos Correa, Chris Bassitt, Adam Duvall, and Omar Narvaez. Way to go Front Office!!!
  19. terrydactyls
    Quite the extensive look into Sonny Gray's problems. But it appears that it all boils down to if he improves his command against right handed hitters, he will have a very good season.
  20. terrydactyls
    Is the 5th pick good for all rounds or just the first? If it carries over to all rounds, the Twins would have picks 5, 34, and 43. That's a nice position to be in.
  21. terrydactyls
    The General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays was interviewed on MLB Radio this morning. He "suggested" two interesting things. 1) They are open to trading one of their three young catchers and 2) their biggest needs are one or two left-handed hitting outfielders and better defense in the outfield. How about opening the negotiations with a straight up Kepler for Danny Jenson trade? Left handed and great defense. Not enough for Jensen? Add Celestino. A second left hand hitting with above average defense. Still not enough? Try Larnach instead of Celestino. More offense but less defense. Do something to solve the catching problem.
  22. terrydactyls
    $170M!! Imagine signing both Trea Turner ànd Carlos Correa. Turner can play 2B, SS, and CF. With that athletic ability, I'm sure he could also play 3B or either corner OF positions. Polanco becomes expendable. Arraez might not be needed either. Trade them both for a good catcher and use the remaining budget to go after a pitcher.
  23. terrydactyls
    RV78 brought up very smart point and a great reason to trade Polanco now. After signing Correa (which, according to many analysts on MLB Radio, will happen soon), Farmer moves to second. Julien would be his backup and use this opportunity to improve his defense. Hopefully, the $$$ savings from trading Polanco will open the door for the additional signing of either Rodon or Wilson Contreras.
  24. terrydactyls
    A lot of people on TD seem to think that is the way it works. "Just sign Correa and Rodon."
