Zebby optioned to AAA so Mick Abel is making the opening day roster. -
Hey now, 2013 and 2014 was bad enough that the Star Tribune's Twins season preview talked about Buxton and Sano down in A ball or rookie ball at the time. Silver linings!
-
There’s room for Altavilla now I guess?
-
I completely agree with this statement too. KOC has a little more Brad Childress in him than I'd like. His way or the highway. It will be fascinating to see if the offense changes to cater to Kyler Murray's strengths. JJM has a good chance of joining the exclusive list of Anthony Richardson, Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, Josh Rosen, Matt Leinart, and Akili Smith of top 10 overall QBs who lost their starting job by year 3 over the last 30 years. We will be just fine without the 9 memes.

Whenever we hire the new GM, their first priority needs to be overhauling the scouting department. I haven't heard or read much about changing that department since Spielman's time.

Rob Manfred snuggles up to another Gambling Company Polymarket
Vanimal46 replied to Vanimal46's topic in Other Baseball
It's okay to just say you hate this stuff too. MLB is likely to ban Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz for life, and both are due on trial to serve prison time. And MLB just partnered with the company advertising the same type of gambling bets Clase and Ortiz are in big trouble for. It's un-regulated gambling branded as "Prediction Market". I have personally seen a couple of friends become addicted to sports gambling. Every day without question, who cares which sport. It's abundantly clear where discretionary funds are going for them instead of meeting the group for a drink(s)/activity. -
I also forgot the team forced him to play with a broken throwing hand when we were eliminated from the playoffs weeks prior.

Something has felt off about McCarthy and the Vikings since he first injured his knee in preseason 2024. Off the top of my head… - Required a 2nd knee later on in 2024 season - Lost a ton of weight. Durability concerns are raised. - Team gets mad when JJM didn’t disclose ankle injury in 2025 - is made QB 3 at Chargers and played a broken Wentz instead. - KOC spends multiple weeks relentlessly talking about JJM’s mechanics - JJM defies his coach griddying into the end zone and JJM said KOC telling him not to do that made him want to do that even more. - Countless leaks about the team dumbing down the offense, removing pass routes over middle of the field - Countless leaks that KOC was over ruled and never wanted to play JJM last year

I wouldn't lose any sleep on the 2 names you mentioned. Do Orze or Klein really have a chance at being something better than marginal?

Nick, my guy… There can’t possibly be a 40 man roster clog on a 90+ loss team.

The marketing team deserves a raise with the rebrand to “Prediction Market”… What could go wrong?
-
I haven't filled out a bracket in years, because all I was doing was donating money to the pool.
-
I would prefer those 2 over Kent and Orze. Probably over Topa too at this stage in the season.

I'm skeptical that Wentz would sign with the Vikings this early in the offseason to be a QB 3. If that is the case, why wouldn't he wait out the QB market like he did last year? I'm trying not to get tunnel vision but in my eyes the plan has been clear since before the regular season ended. They were gonna load up the QB room with veterans because KOC is done with JJM.
-
A 4th sounds right... Maybe conditional to a 3rd or 2nd depending on games played or snap count. I've had the feeling since the offseason began that KOC has given up on him. So it's time to rip off the band aid and move on.
-
The stage is being set to trade away McCarthy IMO
-
I rarely recommend trades in the division, but the Tigers have an international prospect called Bonus Money that looks good too.
-
Heard he's worth one of the highest assets in the game... Something called Cash Considerations.

This iconic guitar solo is the theme song to Andrew Chafin's life
-
Today I learned I'm just a little over a month older than Chafin. No wonder why I've been fascinated by this guy anytime he appears against the Twins over the years, If we can't watch good baseball, give me characters to keep me intrigued. Andrew Chafin is the new Sheriff in town. Lives in an RV traveling the country. Dude probably crushes Miller Lites and wouldn't turn down a Marlboro Red Label after he cleaned up on the pool table at a random town dive bar.
-
Harry the Hitman is 1 year 3 months and 4 days older than me. Picked in the NFL draft when I graduated college... Maybe that's why I love the new sheriff in town Andrew Chafin. I'm a month older than him... My time in the MLB is running out quickly.

I forget which Vikings podcast it was, Purple Daily or Purple Insider, but old friend Ward was brought up. In a B-Flo defense, the interior DL's main duty is taking up multiple blockers so the LBs behind him can eat on pressures and sacks. Ward seemed to thrive in that role here. It convinced me to bring back an old friend on a cheap 1 year deal.
-
Well we should have known this specific thread was a hot spot for NFL GMs
-
His tender was $3.5 million similar to Pace Jr, and we signed him for $4.2 million guaranteed from what I'm seeing on the interwebz. If he indeed signs here that's our swing tackle/guard.
-
As a backend #5 pitcher, maybe? He wouldn't be any contending team's #3 pitcher like he's scheduled to be here.
