    I wonder on a Buxton trade. As pleasant as it was to see his game excel this year, his career body of work is more injury derailment than a year like 2025. Indeed injury free, he is an incredible player. But that other Buxton….. Should he get traded, I would cheer for against other teams.

    I’m assuming the interest rate, obviously there is no way to know without seeing the books. It could be higher with current market conditions, or lower if MLB gives a discount to a member team. A discount though is doubtful, or more teams might go after MLB debt.

    Here’s hoping I understand it. There is no reason to shed anymore salary. By the minority owners investing in and retiring $500M in debt, the Twins now have money to spend. $500M @ 5% is $25M a year freed up in expense. $25M can buy a couple of impact players.

    The story in the Tribune on why Pohlad’s didn’t sell changes next year’s outlook. The family implies now with the new minority investors there is going to be a willingness to spend. The post a few back saying the new minority investors unidentified are just waiting to sell higher at a later date defies logic. If the Twins continue running cheap, the price can hardly go much higher. Sure the price will go up as other franchises increase, but not in any lock step. A new owner discounts the Twins price by what they will need to invest to be competitive. So more competitive is the next move.

    Sincerely hope I am wrong on Keaschall.
  6. LeatherAntenna
    Deep farm, yes tired hearing this. Nice seeing Keaschall doing well. Given the recent years though, we expect him to regress in his second year to a struggling below average player.
  7. LeatherAntenna
    They should reduce ticket prices significantly until play improves.
  8. LeatherAntenna
    Shouldn’t the law of averages suggest this time we have a solid hitter, both now and in the future? Julien and Miranda not withstanding, Lewis may yet arrive as an elite hitter, though the clock is ticking on him.

    Hey, we are only on pace to lose 88 this year , don’t short change this highly uncompetitive team.
  10. LeatherAntenna
    What little offense it has been, 4 hits in two days? That seems not possible for an mlb team.
  11. LeatherAntenna
    Stand corrected, I see he is still slotted at third…
  12. LeatherAntenna
    I read this story and comments fast, but did I miss something or was Royce Lewis never mentioned?
  13. LeatherAntenna
    One wonders that if Keaschall doesn’t get injured in April how different the trade deadline might have been.
  14. LeatherAntenna
    I like your term ‘squinting,’ but are we squinting in bright light or in the dark?
  15. LeatherAntenna
    The bright side: They have positioned themselves such that they cannot finish in 6th place.

    if I am seeing the box score results correct, in the 2nd Castro swung 1st pitch and flied out. In the 4th, in one pitch grounded out. In the 6th, he actually took 2 pitches to line out. Impressive plate discipline.
  17. LeatherAntenna
    The first Twin ace since Santana. The last couple of fans left should like this move.

    Not sure my California math is correct, double checking. It’s kinda hard to add up all these runs against, but I think it’s also 135 runs over 16 games.
  19. LeatherAntenna
    Twins have given up 99 runs over the last twelve games, a bit over 8 runs per game if my California math is accurate. This is a good time to lock Baldelli down for another year.

    A Graphene roof will be the answer in the relatively near future. 200 times the strength of steal, and its weight covering the stadium would only be a few pounds. Very expensive to do now, but in a few years it won’t be. The next stadium built in this country needing or wanting a roof will likely have a roof infused with at least a small amount of Graphene.

    I’ve seen him touch it twice, others have to have seen that as well. I a not a swing expert by any means, but his mechanics look to me like he is trying to protect a hamstring or quad issue. Does not look good. I assume the coaches are asking him to tell them everything and whether he is or not is, well, it is up to him.
  22. LeatherAntenna
    At least the fans get an off day on Monday.
  23. LeatherAntenna
    My bad, I need to edit my comment—…Through 64 pitches…..
  24. LeatherAntenna
    Watching Ober today through 40 pitches and I’m thinking this story needs some serious editing.
  25. LeatherAntenna
    Sadly agree. Nothing much impressive today, looked like August and September 2024 baseball.
