    Perhaps. It could also be the human element with Joe preferring to pitch to Vazquez
  3. Vanimal46
    You and I just looked it up at the same time
  4. Vanimal46
    Okay I just looked this up to settle the debate. In Joe Ryan starts, it was 16 starts by Vazquez, 6 starts by Jeffers before Vazquez was injured. Interesting it was tied 6-6 and then Vazquez played the last 10 starts by Joe.
  5. Vanimal46
    Plenty of role players have gotten paid way more than their real value because they were on a championship team for sure.
  6. Vanimal46
    I’m about 90% certain Vazquez caught almost every one of his starts the first half of the season. But too lazy to look it up.
  7. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. $100 million sets up generations of future family members. Very few reach that point in their professional careers. Until they reach F You money, they’re taking the most amount of money they can get no matter what that organization’s championship expectations are.
  8. Vanimal46
    Trevor Plouffe and Trevor May mention this often on their podcasts online. 99% of professional players work to set their family up for life. After that, then winning a championship matters. Money always talks
  9. Vanimal46
    Stephon Gilmore probably on speed dial if I had to guess
  10. Vanimal46
    Same but I get it if they think he’s not healthy anymore. He was an old CB prospect (24) when they drafted him. He’s already 26 - same age as Cam Akers who was released again by the Saints and it feels like he’s been in the league forever.
  11. Vanimal46
    Bizarre. Selling low on a 3rd round pick from 2 years ago. They must be convinced he hasn’t recovered from his injury last season.
  12. Vanimal46
    Joe Ryan for sure does. Wasn’t Vazquez basically his personal catcher?
  13. Vanimal46
    Joe’s middle name is my guess
  14. Vanimal46
    If he wants to be a key reason why a team wins a championship he needs to get out of here ASAP. But money talks, as we see all the time in other sports. Myles Garrett wrote many paragraphs requesting a trade from the Cleveland Browns because he can’t see winning a Super Bowl with them. But he was offered $40 million a year and weird! Now he thinks he can be a key piece to a championship team in Cleveland. I don’t envision the Twins offering Joe a 6/$180 million deal to make amends with him
  15. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. I truly believe he was hoping to get traded at the deadline. And I believe he’s going to request a trade in the offseason.
  16. Vanimal46
    Agreed. We will find out if he ends up in the low or high 3s. Things aren’t trending well for him lately
  17. Vanimal46
    He is the complete opposite of Brian Dozier. Dozier was ice cold until June then he would go on a tear for 3 months.
  18. Vanimal46
    The inevitable 2nd half decline is happening for Joe
  19. Vanimal46
    I read Jacobi Myers wants out in Las Vegas. I’d prefer him over Thielen if the cost is close
  20. Vanimal46
    2 weeks until opening day. Time is running out to get another WR in the building and up to speed on the offense. Our WR room looks really weak with Addison suspended and Nailor evidently has his hand in a cast.
  21. Vanimal46
    Per Hayes: José Urena cleared waivers and elected free agency. #MNTwins
  22. Vanimal46
    I wouldn’t do it for Keaschall until we know where he’s going to end up in the field. His valuation is wildly different if he ends up at 1B vs 2B vs corner OF. Jenkins on the other hand has the pedigree and good odds of sticking at a premium position in CF. I will take the risk on that one.
  23. Vanimal46
    You can argue that Baltimore is following our path… 101 wins in 2023, 91 wins in 2024, to now what appears to be an 85+ loss season. All because their ownership pulled back on spending and their FO thought they were the smartest guys in the room.
  24. Vanimal46
    Life moves quickly in baseball. 2 years ago Adley was the top prospect in all of baseball. If anyone called for him Baltimore would have laughed and hung up the phone.
  25. Vanimal46
    For all intents and purposes they were open to trading Ryan at the deadline. They didn’t get the value they wanted from Boston. In the offseason it opens up the opportunity of more teams getting involved and creating a bidding war. I don’t think Falvey wants to trade Ryan, but Joe may force their hand by requesting a trade. Unless we throw a boat load of cash at him, the chances of getting an extension done is near 0%.
