This is just my assumption with no evidence to back it up. I assume Joe Pohlad was planning on having a consistent $150-165 million payroll, and the rest of the family decided to change direction.
As much as I’ve enjoyed watching him on our favorite team, I wouldn’t blame him if he requests a trade somewhere else.
I want Ohtani in the WS for sure. And it’s been 15 years since the Yankees have appeared in a WS so I’m good with that too. For a major market team like the Yankees that is an eternity
Over the last couple years I have wondered whether I still enjoy baseball or not. This year’s playoffs is reminding me that I still enjoy baseball. I just don’t enjoy the type of baseball the Twins have been playing.
Agreed. Relievers are the kings of SSS. He’s had arm injuries before and they can pop up again. If Duran, or a package of players including Duran, can fetch a young controllable SP or a middle of the order bat, we have to consider it.
All of those teams have something in common… Rotten ownership group that meddles in QB/front office decisions. It really makes me thankful that the Wilfs provide the cash and stay the hell out of the way the rest of the time.
My bad for being 4 days off to disagree with my post. The 3 signings you’re probably thinking of:
Nelson Cruz signed 12/27 (oops!)
Josh Donaldson signed 1/22
Carlos Correa signed 1st time 3/15 2nd time 1/11. Like I said in the post you disagreed with, major signings happen in January or later. Thoughts?
Falvey has shown time and time again he’s looking for the bargains in free agency. Early in the offseason is dedicated to waiver wire pickups and fringe 40 man roster acquisitions. If any major acquisitions are made it’s in January or later.
This is actually a classic Twins signing. A couple years removed from his last All-Star appearance nearing the end of his career. If he’s available in January I bet we will be in on a 1 year contract.
Jayden Daniels got rocked a few times by the Ravens D and I am hoping he doesn’t become another RG3 for Washington. That dude is frail and seeking contact when he scrambles.
