    This came out of no where. Go get him Kwesi!
  2. Vanimal46
    Exactly. I prefer only trading 1 of them at this time. Trading both of them in the same deal has an extremely high risk of blowing up in our face. Jax and Duran would be the back end of any playoff contender’s bullpen and win them a WS. Hedge the bet!
  3. Vanimal46
    If Falvey accepts any of these trades for both Duran and Jax I’m hacking into their network so he can’t file the paperwork in time.
  4. Vanimal46
    It will be shocking if the Pohlads meddle with any roster moves. As you’ve said over and over, this is the roster Falvey wants. He’s consistently said in media interviews he has confidence in this current roster.
  5. Vanimal46
    Yeah, the expanded playoff format has really nerfed the trade deadline. Gave a lot of teams false hope, which leaves only the bottom feeders like CWS, COL, and the A’s as clear sellers. Slim pickings on those teams… In the next CBA we should talk about moving the trade deadline back to Aug 31. It will diminish expiring contract player’s values greatly, but at least by that time teams know if they’re in or out.

    Diego Cartaya is a cautionary tale chasing top 100 prospects in the low minors. Pre-2023 he was a top 20 prospect in the game on 3 publications. Then he moved on to AA and it’s been downhill ever since. His time in our organization was comically bad. 40 strikeouts in 69 plate appearances.

    1A Ownership - This organization has no direction, no vision. Just hoping that someone offers them a golden parachute to get out of their massive debt and escape the public eye forever. 1B Front Office - They’ve had 2 offseasons to pivot after getting the rug pulled from them by the Pohlads. They’ve done the bare minimum in the offseason and trade deadlines ever since. Falvey continues doubling down on this core of players, even though we are the slowest team in baseball, one of the poorest fielding teams in baseball, and prone to long offensive slumps. Oh, and they quietly pick up Rocco’s contract for another year. 2 Manager/Coaches - How can the players take things seriously when the same manager and 80% of the coaches remain the same after an epic collapse? 3 Players - Correa, Wallner, and Lewis have been extremely disappointing with high expectations in preseason. Miranda and Julien crashing and burning. Our depth was vapor thin and were relying too heavily on marginal talent.
  8. Vanimal46
    Yes Absolutely yes. Last year proved the core of this team is not good enough and Rocco should have been fired after an epic collapse in September.
  9. Vanimal46
    Hard to turn down a 5 run victory yesterday /s. We got 1 in LA which is what the spreadsheet told us is an acceptable outcome
  10. Vanimal46
    Nothing wrong with setting a high standard on the trade return. We will see how desperate contending teams get in the next week. If no one meets the asking price, oh well. We get to keep an elite reliever on the team.

    Pretty easy to see why the Dodgers are calling around for bullpen help. So many uncompetitive pitches thrown last night.
  12. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t even call that a mistake pitch. That was just silly from the best player in the world
  13. Vanimal46
    No one else besides Ohtani barrels up that pitch. Oh well.
  14. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t that be something if Duran and Rushing switched jerseys in a week? Don’t recommend it, but at least we know he’s batting 1.000 against him
  15. Vanimal46
    No doubt Vázquez can call a better game
  16. Vanimal46
    Big games for a couple of guys who has been in the crosshairs from the TD crowd. Vázquez and France have a day gentleman
  17. Vanimal46
    Idk who any of these Dodgers relievers are since the 6th inning and they’re all brutal
  18. Vanimal46
    Hell yeah! 7 pitch inning affords him plenty of room to finish the 6 out save
  19. Vanimal46
    2 inning outing for Duran?
  20. Vanimal46
    Yikes. 30 year old never was journeyman. Looks like a Wentz repeat to me. Might as well give Prielipp a try
  21. Vanimal46
    You took the time to spell it out and I know autocorrect would butcher that big time
  22. Vanimal46
    Who is this guy pitching the 8th inning for us?
  23. Vanimal46
    You know, I can see why the Dodgers are calling around for bullpen help. Tons of non competitive pitches and costly errors
  24. Vanimal46
    Sorry, should have read the thread first before pushing submit.
  25. Vanimal46
    Yeah, it’s hard to imagine a team like the Yankees bailing us out of that contract like they did with Josh Donaldson… A perfect storm of circumstances is needed indeed. The only thing we can hope for is him bouncing back to being an .800 OPS player.
