    My favorite part of this article is the comment: "the Twins will need to spend some real money on free agents or trading for guys with significant salaries" When, of course, the last time they did that the fan reaction was "why did they do that?" Or the time before. Or the time before. Which brings me back to my favorite observation about Twins fans: The only thing Twins fans like doing more than complaining about the team not spending money is complaining about the team spending money.

    If Mick Abel becomes Joe Ryan then Trade Deadline 2025 becomes a success. Unless we trade Joe Ryan.

    So a 22 year old first round draft pick a year ago appears to have the potential to be a major league shortstop in the near future. Perhaps the angst was short-sighted.

    Wait. A guy signs a big contract lengthy contract and toward the back end of that contract the player doesn't seem to be worth the contract? That's crazy. I've never heard of such a thing. Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrerra, Joe Mauer, Chris Davis, Mike Hampton, Anthony Rendon, Jacoby Elsburry, Giancarlo Standon, Steven Strasberg, Alphonso Soriano, Jason Bay, Gary Matthews, Jason Werth, Barry Zito. It's almost as if signing players to lucrative, long term contracts is a bad idea.

    The only thing Twins fans hate more than ownership not spending big money on players is ownership spending big money on players.

    They also have a guy on the other corner of the diamond who is not a great defender there and might benefit from playing a position that might put a little less stress on his body. Not to mention that in the upcoming future they should have guys like Lee, Keaschall, Culpepper, DeBarge, Amick, Winkour, Eales, DeAndade & Leon ready to man the rest of the infield. A lot of these guys are not projected to be ready until 2027. This has a bit of a 1980-1981 feel to it. By this time next year I'd hope we have a clearer picture of which "kids" are the future and that we see some of them here by the end of next year. If 2027 is 1982 (sure 102 losses would suck) and an influx of exciting new talent and a precursor to a couple titles in the ensuing decade I'd be down with that. Move Lewis to 1B, laminate his name in the lineup card and let's see what the kids can do.

    Play the kids

    Who among us would have reacted differently if they were well north of a quarter BILLION dollars in debt after 2023?

    The human side of baseball. That's funny stuff right there. They traded him. Good trade? Bad trade? Hard to say with any certainty. If he had an ERA of six and a half and they'd DFAd him nobody would be worried about the human side of baseball. It's a business. Don't like that? Go watch town ball.

    I agree. However, he HAS been with the organization for 4 years and is getting his first big league at bat of the season AFTER the start of August. So it's NOT like he's taken the bull by the horns and forced them to put him on the field. In an ideal world HE would have played the role Willie Castro has for two and a half years. He didn't.
  11. dxpavelka
    I'm ok with Martin. But I'd rather see some of the kids than the others.

    First it was, "we need to get rid of Gardy" Then "Terry Ryan needs to go" Now "We need new owners" I'm SURE that will work. In fact as soon as it happens I'm going to pick my spot for the parade.

    Yippee. Spending like drunken sailors. Signing EVERY free agent available. Rings every year. Yippee Kay-Ay mother ****.
  14. dxpavelka
    don't hold your breath
  15. dxpavelka
    Did you think other teams were gonna covet ****? That's funny stuff right there.

    Correa's quotes show that he's either an idiot or a liar. He's wanted to play 3rd base for two years and NOBODY knew? I call BS. As a SS his contract is somewhat in line. IF he produces at has historical numbers. As a 3B his production is a joke.

    Ya'll wanted them to blow it up. They blew it up. I don't wanna hear bitchin

    The TV situation comes down to one thing: How much are fans willing to pay for the team to compete as far as television money goes? The answer is probably "not nearly as much as it would take." Lockout in 2027 which results in revenue sharing and a salary cap (and floor) is the best possible scenario

    The only thing Twins fans hate more than the team not spending money is the team spending money. And now, seemingly, the only thing the like less than complaining about the performance of t he players the team spends money on is trading the players they spend money on.

    shoulda held out for Painter
  21. dxpavelka
    more than you think but you MIGHT have to pull your head out from under the sand to see it.
  22. dxpavelka
    Interestingly enough, that is exactly how the Twins obtained three of the four players you previously mentioned and kept the other.
  23. dxpavelka
    and they sometimes do just this
  24. dxpavelka
    Another rumor I've heard is that sometimes fellas NOT under contract sign new contracts with their current team.

    Jeffers?
