    If that's the case could this site PLEASE take down the "Zebby leaves Spring game with apparent injury" headline from the home page?

    C'mon man. What are you doing? Selling positivity? To Twins fans? Read the room dude.

    but...the.....sky........is............falling

    Baseball economics are so f^#@!( up that I don't see much chance of revenue improvement either.

    replacement(s) could always be worse

    New ownership is going to come in and spend like drunken sailors. They will sign every available free agent. In fact they will sign so many free agents that other teams will go out of business. We'll be the Yankees / Dodgers / Red Sox / Angels / Padres of flyover country. We'll win so many titles we'll have to BUILD brand new streets exclusively for parades. And we'll still have to have one in St. Paul every once in a while just to avoid boredom with the designated route. Life will be so good.

    Pretty sure LAST year will have little to do with THIS year. Interesting that you brought up Sale, who maybe more than any other pitcher in the game is walking proof that one year as absolutely NO bearing on the next. His combined WAR from 2018 thru 2023 is less than his 2018 or 2024

    Is this a roster construction issue? Sure. Is this a financial issue? HELL yes. Everything about baseball finances is f#@!%$ up. About the ONLY thing that isn't is the fact that contracts actually mean something. Sign a Randy Dobnak to a three year $9 million contract and you PAY a Randy Dobnak $9 million for three years. Until baseball gets their financial house in order (Salary Cap / Revenue Sharing) NO sympathy for ANYBODY

    He is one of the top dozen starters in the AL. The leap is not as dramatic as you believe.
  10. dxpavelka
    And yet you just cited 5 examples of how it COULD happen.
  11. dxpavelka
    So in other words, they need to have a career type year where everything clicks and comes together to a degree that maybe only happens once. You're right. Something like that has NEVER happened in the history of baseball.
  12. dxpavelka
    Ober, Lopez & Ryan are all among the top dozen SP in the AL. Any of them could win it. Will probably come down to performance. Just a guess.
  13. dxpavelka
    I'll take "broken jaw, bar fight, 2023" for a thousand Alex.
  14. dxpavelka
    Funny how those who criticize them for cutting payroll recently were pretty much silent when they didn't do so during Covid.
  15. dxpavelka
    Not really that difficult to know. The results speak for themselves.

    I don't see ANYBODY jumping for the opportunity to buy ANY MLB team. Baseball finances are a disaster. No salary cap. Laughable revenue sharing arrangements. Terrible television rights deals that are only getting worse. AND owners handing out ridiculous contracts like drunken sailors. Remember a quarter century ago when we kept hearing the word "contraction." Don't forget that word.

    Typically, when a business is sold, only the assets are sold. Debt stays with the previous owner.

    Pony up. Make an offer. It's only money.
  19. dxpavelka
    Said this from DAY 1. Go back and look at the original reporting on this. NEVER was it said that they were GOING to sell the team. What was said was that they were going to EXPLORE selling the team. Reading comprehension. It's a thing.
  20. dxpavelka
    Rumored to be expenses in excess of earnings.
  21. dxpavelka
    But a 30 year old Bader is the answer?
  22. dxpavelka
    That's my point. We're saying the same thing about Bader as we said about Margot last year. Are you REALLY confident that we got it right this time?
  23. dxpavelka
    I've been consuming the product through my cable company for decades at only the cost I pay for the channels I already subscribe to from them. I misses half a season last year. If you tell me my cost is going to go up, I learned last summer that I don't need the product enough to pay more. Sorry.
  24. dxpavelka
    Wouldn't "he'll be good in the field and run the bases well" be the same thing that was said about Margot a year ago?
  25. dxpavelka
    I have trouble saying we've seen enough of a guy with 250 career plate appearances. Especially when we gave up the best SP we've developed in a generation to get him.
