  1. "Rosario is a shortstop" That's funny stuff. Like the Twins have ever shied away from putting a guy with absolutely NO business in the outfield in the outfield. As far as Rosario being diet Castro, it's worth remembering that that was pretty much the expectation of Castro when we first signed him.
  2. I'm relatively certain the Twins, like most teams, are listening to trade offers on any number of their players. Most of these offers will be scoffed at. Some will be countered. There may be some fire. But, generally speaking, far more smoke.
  3. Hope they at least take somebody. It's a lottery ticket. You can't win if you don't play. The ghost of Johan Santana.
  4. And once he gets stretched out he becomes a 6 inning guy. Or a 5 & 2/3 inning guy. Leave him right where he is. We have the "luxury" of having 2 potentially dominant high leverage guys at the back of the pen. Let's keep it.
  5. Entirely possible that Jax is a significantly better pitcher than he was in 2021 BECAUSE he is no longer a starter. Just sayin
  6. Jamie Garcia Experience Fun Fact: Garcia won more games for the Twins that year than he did for the Yankees.
  7. Always thought he'd end up as a big league manager. Maybe even with the Twins.
  8. We traded Berrios and a year later we needed a Berrios so we made the Mahle trade. That didn't work so we made the Gray trade. Lopez was gravy. For a year. A very successful year. Until this year This year he fills the Berrios spot. The number Berrios signed for was NOT totally out of our wheelhouse for a frontline SP. What kind of holes are we looking to fill right now if we still have Steer, Hajjar, Encarnancion-Strand, Arraez & Chase Petty?
  9. We traded Berrios which necessitated subsequent trades for Tyler Mahle, Sonny Gray and Lopez. Jury is still out on the return.
  10. Kind of reminds me of when we moved on from a certain LF rather than pay him $8 million. And the guys he was "hindering" have still not made an impact.
  11. You seldom get better when you best players go somewhere else. Why create holes to fix holes?
  12. Tristan Casas has a brother? We already have Tristan Casas. We just call him Trevor Larnach
  13. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/padres-all-star-predicted-dump-sd-39-deal-twins/43abfc3c4d2a6601ba38d45d
  14. Been a Twins fan for 50 years. Long enough to know that IF we trade one of them, the one we trade will go on do become a better pitcher than the one we keep.
  15. I hate to bring it up but with the possible exception of Miller these are not stars but merely pieces with star POTENTIAL. You know, potential, like Kirilloff & Larnach and a million other guys had.
  16. How about we put it in Ryan's contract that he has to go back to the Thor hair cut he had the first couple months after we traded for him.
  17. Not sure why a team that has spent most of the last (two, or three, or four) decade(s) looking for starting pitching would trade either of these guys. Also not sure why someone would write an article like this and not speculate on what such a trade might get you in return.
  18. And all those extra stats are going to come at a cost at contract time. But I'm sure none of that cost will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher ticket, concession and parking.
  19. Good point. We COULD take that a step further and change that name to Rocco Baldelli and have the statement be just as true.
