    I would much rather have the San Diego return in that trade. Though we should give Cleveland the benefit of the doubt. They still do a great job developing players they target in trades.

    I'm adopting the Padres as my NL team... Tatis Jr. is so fun to watch alone, and now they're aggressively trying to keep up with the Dodgers. Go San Diego Dads!

    The Twins trade proposal in that link... David Venn panicked and came up with that on the spot. It's the only explanation.
  4. Vanimal46
    Even better. Ngakoue took the pay cut himself so the Vikes stay under the cap.
  5. Vanimal46
    I’m becoming convinced that they miss James Rowson the most. The new coach may have the same philosophy, but the person who actually coaches the players matters.
  6. Vanimal46
    As if the Dodgers need to get any better right now.

    Agreed the interior DL is a concern, especially with Pierce opting out for the season. It’s not ideal relying on Stephen to be the main guy in the middle and a rookie. Kendricks or Barr is gonna have to be the 3rd guy clogging up the middle of the field. In that scenario I’d prefer Barr because Kendricks is much better in pass coverage. Also, I think this trade cements the thought that Dalvin Cook won’t be back next year. His money is going to Ngakoue now.

    This is excellent news to wake up to today! The Vikes now have 2 All Pro EDGE rushers, and both are 25 years old. Good luck, other QBs in the NFC North. The Vikes now have the most terrifying EDGE tandem in the NFL!

    Can we get James Rowson back?
  10. Vanimal46
    Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves Craig. Maybe picture books to start

    Not sure if you’ve noticed, but there are some pretty important, dare I say historical events going on in the United States right now. Players in all sports are using their power to send a message. Good for them. I can survive a night without them entertaining the masses.

    Looks like they need to update that value for Jeffers. No way he's worth 40 points lower than Lewis however they determine the points.
  13. Vanimal46
    It’s possible the prices have changed. We haven’t seen an elite reliever traded in a while to know for sure. I agree the bullpen isn’t the biggest concern. It certainly doesn’t hurt to have as many options as possible in case of injury or performance imploding.
  14. Vanimal46
    Teams pay crazy prices for elite relievers. Not saying the Twins do it, but that kind of ask by the Brewers isn’t unreasonable. Chapman for Torres + 3 prospects, Diaz for Kelenic and 2 other top 30 prospects, Andrew Miller for Frazier + 3 prospects. Hell, even Ramos for Capps.
  15. Vanimal46
    Mark DeRosa on MLB Network proposed this hypothetical trade this morning. I don’t think the Twins do it, but probably not an unreasonable ask for 3 controlled years of Hader.
  16. Vanimal46
    Bullpens are always fluid over the course of the season. I don't think there was anything wrong with riding him out while he was hot. Who would have guessed Fernando Rodney who was horrific with the A's would be a contributor to a WS winning bullpen last year? Hopefully Romo finds his groove again. Nothing wrong with having multiple late inning options!
  17. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t mind bringing back Kintzler. I’ll take as many reliable veteran bullpen arms we can get for a post season run. Hard pass on everyone else listed. I can’t imagine Falvey wanting to bring back Lynn after he spent 4 months pouting about being on the 2018 Twins on a 1 year deal.
  18. Vanimal46
    Romo’s frisbee has been off the mark his last 3 outings. He was lucky to squeak by the first 2 without a ton of damage, and the pendulum swung the other way last night. It still feels like most of the players are trying to catch up to MLB pitching, except Sano and Cruz. Clevenger challenged our hitters with letter high and above fastballs and succeeded. Last year the Twins feasted on that pitch and sent a majority of them over the fence.
  19. Vanimal46
    This trade could wind up being a win win for both sides. Maeda fills a clear need right now as a stalwart in the rotation, and the Dodgers have a ridiculous amount of depth to bet on Graterol’s upside. The only loser out of the deal is Boston, who weaseled their way out of the original agreement.
  20. Vanimal46
    And people wonder why game threads are dead at TD. Wonderful banter here.
  21. Vanimal46
    You know why I feel better about this team’s chance to advance compared to last year? Pitching and defense. It’s still the foundation to win in the playoffs. Last year was a blast but winning HR derbys isn’t sustainable against the best teams.
  22. Vanimal46
    His underlying stats suggest exactly that. FIP, hard hit percentage all check out.
  23. Vanimal46
    Didn’t have the best stuff but he toughed through it. Nice work Romo!
  24. Vanimal46
    Thanks for following the unwritten rules and taking 2 pitches right down Broadway, Perez.
  25. Vanimal46
    Agreed. The veterans of the team want to be by his side and every time they zoom into the dugout they’re all laughing and staying loose. Who knows, maybe he’s a future manager one day.
