    Pick 1-1 next summer is in play??!?
  2. USAFChief
    Isn't Bader supposed to be a good outfielder?
  3. USAFChief
    Sure looks that way, don't it?

    Rocco: "Jeffers! What the hell? Are you uneducated or unmotivated?" Jeffers: "I dont know and I don't care!"

    That sort of **** just ****** me right the **** off.

    For the record, he managed to not tag him anyway. Somehow
  7. USAFChief
    Oh FFS Jeffers

    Id be pretty surprised if Correa gets traded without the Twins eating a ton of money.

    Doesn't help when you assume and slow down between 2nd and 3rd and then get the "go" sign. You know what happens when we assume

    For the 47th time: I have not, am not, and will not ever say "keep Paddack." I've been on the ",sell every expiring contract and then some bandwagon" for weeks. This team isn't going anywhere. It has no realistic chance of postseason success as constructed. Keeping Paddack would be malpractice. Same for Bader, Coulombe and Castro I'm fully aware Paddack is a free agent at season's end. Im not an idiot. Please dont treat me like one, because now I'm forced to respond in kind: Think hard: "what purpose did including Dobnak serve? Who benefited? What would have possibly happened had they NOT included him in this deal?"

    100000000 bonus pts for working "aplomb" into a game thread. With, I might add, no small amount of aplomb.
  16. USAFChief
    Then why do it?
  17. USAFChief
    If the Twins trade Correa to Houston and eat $4.7M in salary I'll change my mind and say you were right. If they don't, will you do the same? (I think the Twins save roughly $4.7 total in this deal, not $4.5. Im feeling generous. Really generous, because we shouldn't be including the $2.5M Paddack salary in this deal. That's irrelevant to the discussion of including Dobnak in the trade.)
  18. USAFChief
    I think money is enormously useful. Too useful. Id like a hard salary cap (and floor). Id like the Twins and Dodgers to have roughly equal money to spend. But THIS money won't do that. It will not benefit baseball operations.
  19. USAFChief
    True.
  20. USAFChief
    Im quite comfortable stating the money saved by including Dobnak does ZERO good for the Minnesota Twins baseball team.
  21. USAFChief
    Fair take.
  22. USAFChief
    Nowhere have i said I want Paddack for the rest of the season. I am glad they traded Paddack. Trade every expiring contract. And then some. I really dont understand how you could take otherwise from anything I've written.
  23. USAFChief
    I don't agree with trading "one." Both or neither. Trying to contend in 2026? Work to be done, but you need both of these guys Not trying to contend in 2026? Sell both now, at probably max value ever. I lean towards sell both. But I'm conflicted.
  24. USAFChief
    I don't think that's the logical conclusion. I think the logical conclusion is, the Minnesota Twins baseball team would be better off, if even slightly, if trades were made to maximize return to the baseball team.
  25. USAFChief
    In fairness, how can you possibly expect teams to make it through a season with only 13 active pitchers? ... Plus of course the half dozen up-and-down guys from AAA that they swap out three or four times a month. I mean, an 18 man staff gets pretty thin, y'know?
