    They did. Yesterday.

    Currently in the 3rd of 3 WC spots. Let's go, boys.

    If I had the EQUIVALENT package offered from a team in my division as from outside I'd take the one from my in-division rival. I'm not concerned with the player I'm trading away, but I'd certainly prefer to take the prospects out of my rival's system than from someone who's future success or failure doesn't impact me as much.

    Multiple counter examples?? Logic??? Pfffft
  5. USAFChief
    I call shenanigans. Seems too high...

    There is no doubt the 6-teams-per-league playoff structure has impacted in-season trades. I don't think front offices should be surprised by that. But I think this year was unique in that there was an unusually small number of tradeable players on bad teams. I think in most years there'll be more names dealt. Won't ever be cheap though.

    "The first 10,000 fans in attendance will receive nothing." Brilliant.
  8. USAFChief
    I haven't bought that story since it was planted.

    Someone is shoveling hoo-hah. There's zero reason either Detroit or Chicago wouldn't trade a rental to the Twins. Detroit doesn't even play the Twins until 2025. Both teams would be stupid to take a lesser return just to avoid trading in-division. Hell, they would likely welcome taking prospects out of the Twins system. I don't buy that story.
  10. USAFChief
    Maybe. But it seems to me you're mostly upset with sweet, gullible Charlie instead of with evil Lucy. Or at least, that's who you're yelling at.
  11. USAFChief
    How improved? More than the Twins.
  12. USAFChief
    You might want to adjust your sarcasmeter.
  13. USAFChief
    In return for a player they won't even face once. They should be targeting the Twins for a trade.
  14. USAFChief
    It appears, to me at least, as if ownership views St Peter as doing his job well. I mean, they've had him doing it for a long time. Which strengthens my belief they're making money regularly.
  15. USAFChief
    For the record. "Gutted" wasn't my word, it was yours. I don't think they gutted anything in 2022. You won't find posts from me complaining about our FO trying to help the team when its in contention. IMO They should have made an effort again this year. Prospects only purpose is to help the major league team win. I believe in the overwhelming majority of cases they best serve that goal through getting MLB talent in trade. There's always new prospects next year. Look at how that "Gutted" system from 2022 is regarded just 2 years later. I also realize many fans feel differently.
  16. USAFChief
    Yup. And soon, I'd wager.
  17. USAFChief
    All of this is false.
  18. USAFChief
    Personally I'd have rather had Puk than Tanner Scott, but I realize that's prolly a minority opinion.
  19. USAFChief
    So Flaherty was gonna send the Twins deep into the playoffs, make them $$ millions, AND give us bragging rights? That's something Falvine should have avoided??
  20. USAFChief
    Ignore the first four starts. As a reliever: 1.95 ERA. 0.795 WHIP. 10.3 K/9. 7 BB in 32.1 IP. Left handed. History of success. 2.3 years of control. We could have used that
  21. USAFChief
    That's not what was claimed. It was reported the Twins contacted Detroit about Flaherty.
  22. USAFChief
    It doesn't matter if Kepler knows or not. That's not relevant. Did Kepler interfere witha fielder making a play? It's a judgement call. I'd have called it a dead ball, but I can understand the umpires judgement being different than mine.
  23. USAFChief
    The Tigers wouldn't trade Flaherty to the Twins? Flaherty is a two month rental. And the Tigers dont even play the Twins again until 2025. Try again. BTW the best or second best reliever went from Miami to Arizona. Cheaply.
  24. USAFChief
    You doubt the Tigers would listen to an in-division trade for a 2 month rental? When the teams don't even play each other again this season?? Geez, I hope the Tigers are that stupid, but I doubt it.
  25. USAFChief
    What reports? Nobody traded a Jenkins, Lee or Rodriguez.
