Instead they’re upping their percentage of ownership in the White Sox. So we need another white knight on a high horse coming to save the Twins…
ESPN’s coverage of the sport continued to get worse over the years. I still have nostalgia for Baseball Tonight in the early 2000s but those days are long gone.
My hope is getting more games on over the air, easily accessible channels. Perhaps FOX expands their coverage to more than just 1 “Game of the Week”. Maybe CBS gets in on the action. ABC likely not since they’re also owned by Disney.
An early list of “My Guys” in this upcoming draft: Note that I’ve been focused mostly on RB and DL…
RB: Omarion Hampton, TreVeyon Henderson, RJ Harvey, Bhayshul Tuten
IOL: Grey Zabel
DL: Walter Nolen, Alfred Collins, Kenneth Grant, Derrick Harmon
Just catching up on this thread. If Kenneth Grant is available at 24 that’s a no brainer sprint to the podium pick. I think he will be a top 15 pick. It’s rare to be that big, with pass rush ability.
Hockenson had 95 catches in 2023, on pace for well over 100 before the dirty hit that blew out his knee. He’s not going anywhere and fans will remember how good he is after a full offseason being healthy.
If his low back strain was that bad he probably wouldn’t have played 45 games after that? He was 25 years old with world class healthcare behind him. Come on.
Twins over/under wins total is 83.5 wins. Betting the over is -120 and betting the under is even odds so pretty much a waste.
Craziest I’ve seen is 104.5 wins for the Dodgers, and 51.5 wins for the White Sox.
Then why is he on the 40 man roster today? The definition of little to no risk is him not being on the 40 man roster until he actually earns it in spring training.
France was immediately put on the 40 man even with the structure of the contract. Tells me all I need to know. The FO is intending on him making the opening day roster.
He should have signed in Asia 2 seasons ago and maybe he would have gotten another MLB look this year. Instead he’s 31 and his days in the big leagues are probably over.
