  1. Tampa was in the middle of a 100 win season, trying to win the AL East and then the World Series. They made that trade hoping to fill their DH hole with 3 months of 2019 Nelson Cruz. Ryan was a nice prospect, almost MLB ready, but wouldn't have cracked Tampa's rotation in 2021. That's exactly the type of trade smart teams trying to win make all the time. And they'd 100 percent do it again, without the benefit of 3 years hindsight. I hope the Twins do something similar for a top line starter this year. It's about winning, not stockpiling fangraph prospect rankings.
  2. I doubt it. BTW, Buxton's NTC becomes a "5 team trade list" after 2026.
  3. Going to a Twins game isn't cheap, but it's not $6-700 per, either. There's no reason a fan can't take in a game, with a hot dog and a beer, including parking, for $75 or less. Family of four for $250 easily. I do it for less. And there is a dollar dog night, family concession stands with reasonable prices. Bring in your own water. Etc etc.
  4. Yes, almost certainly. Which is a shame. We can't even dream big.
  5. And it's pretty clear Dave St Peter outranks Derrick Falvey in the corporate pecking order.
  6. As to the OP, the play is to go get Blake Snell. But they won't. They'll add a reliever of modest value at modest cost.
  7. Paragraph 2: Agreed Paragraph 1: Nonconcur. Strongly. They seemingly did everything in their power to damp down interest and enthusiasm at every turn all off season.
  8. What does that have to do with drafting players 10 to 100 spots earlier than projected? And no, you shouldn't ever aim low in a draft.
  9. "End up with something" seems like a poor strategy for top picks.
  10. Do it. Take on all the money. No better pitcher will change hands this month.
  11. Correa not going to AS Game. Seager taking his place. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/carlos-correa-dealing-with-plantar-fasciitis-in-right-foot.html
  12. Correa staying home. Seager taking his place. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/07/carlos-correa-dealing-with-plantar-fasciitis-in-right-foot.html
  13. So....Buck can pinch run but not play? That makes zero sense.
  14. Margot is just an AWFUL outfielder.
