    Pittsburgh hires 62 year old Mike McCarthy. Bizarre decision
  2. Vanimal46
    I can only speak for me but I’m pissed we didn’t complete the job on the rebuild. Keeping Ryan, Lopez, Buxton, Jeffers etc is a complete waste of time for them, and the fans. Once they depleted the entire bullpen in July 2025, and Falvey’s philosophy to not spend real money on RP (which I agree with BTW), it became clear to me to trade everyone else.

    Not ZIPs/Fangraphs that projected the Twins to win 82 games that’s for sure
  4. Vanimal46
    I couldn’t care less about projections, but the people clamoring that building a bullpen is the easiest thing to do on a baseball team will have a rude awakening this season.

    We will get to see him plenty this season while he wears a White Sox uniform. 2 year $20 million. No chance we were ever going to pay that type of money. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/white-sox-to-sign-seranthony-dominguez.html?

    I haven't heard much about the Raiders or Arizona, but Cleveland has had more coaches turn down interview requests than actual interviews. Evidently no one is that desperate to take on a 2 year complete rebuild with an incompetent ownership group.

    Phil Rivers interviewing for the Buffalo HC job. Which would be pretty fun to see if he was hired.

    It definitely seems like Flores has a Zimmer like reputation… I thought either one of Pittsburgh or Baltimore was a dream fit for him. Both organizations take immense pride in their defense, and both are very patient with their coaching staff.

    This sentence alone is the fundamental difference we have. The problem with a lot of them? Sorting through them and finding the right sequence of them. The Twins are going to sift through a lot of bad innings before they find a couple of good ones. And that's going to lose a lot of games. Plus that opening day lineup is best case scenario on paper right now. There will be injuries where depth will be immediately tested, and that is a frightening scenario in the IF.
  10. Vanimal46
    If Pittsburgh doesn't choose Flores as HC, I'm gonna guess their guy is Rams DC Chris Shula

    Tucker for 2026 will receive a $1 million salary with a $64 million signing bonus. He will still count as $57 million on the books for LA this year. The much larger problem is they have solved their state's high tax problem by issuing these ridiculous signing bonuses. So Kyle Tucker, a Florida resident, can assume 99.9% of his earnings right now in a no income tax state. These are the loopholes that need to be cut out in the next CBA... A cap on signing bonus, and a cap on deferrals. Paying Ohtani and Tucker a combined $3 million salary is a joke.

    That projected starting lineup is why I have zero interest in the team this year, sorry to say. The offseason is not over, but that's going to be pretty damn close to the opening day lineup. And that lineup has 90+ losses written all over it.
  13. Vanimal46
    I have no idea why Pittsburgh would choose a 62 year old who is most certainly behind the times as an offensive HC. But oh well, not my favorite team to be concerned about it.
  14. Vanimal46
    Correct. If he bolts for a HC job now we will get a 3rd round pick in 2026 and 2027
  15. Vanimal46
    Gotta hope the Steelers pass on him and we’re in the clear
  16. Vanimal46
    I can only imagine Keon Coleman waking up today early in the offseason. Looking at his phone and finding out the owner of the team he’s on and the GM throwing him under the bus like that. It’s gonna be real awkward when he passes one of them in the hallway.

    The owner is trying to re-write history, but the beauty of the internet is there are receipts!
  19. Vanimal46
    Idk if you guys have seen the Buffalo press conference with the owner and GM Brandon Beane but it doesn't instill any confidence. The owner basically said the decision was made to fire McDermott solely because they lost in Denver. They also claimed Keon Coleman was a forced draft pick by the coaching staff and the GM was a team player who played along with the choice. Wild to say that about a player STILL on your team

    Mike McDaniel must have missed the California grown weed so he's coming back home

    2 years ago the Hoosiers were 3-9 and in my lifetime never been good at football. In the last 2 years they are 27-2 with a Heisman trophy winner, Big 10 championship, and national championship trophy. They're living a real life rebuild like my college days playing NCAA Football 2009 with my buddies on Xbox.
  22. Vanimal46
    My question is how many more Cignetti's are hanging around in the lower levels of college football waiting for their golden opportunity?
  23. Vanimal46
    That was an awful pass from Beck
  24. Vanimal46
    It feels like the days of the 2nd-3rd round QBs are over. Either you're a good enough prospect to be a 1st round pick, or you're a day 3 pick. Otherwise they're staying in college making millions which isn't a bad thing for them.
