    Wasn’t sure where to put this. This is.... Wow. Not sure what to say about it. Elitist? God forbid a prospect has nice things...

    Reading between the lines with these coaching staff hires... They’re hiring as many people as possible who would be cool with leaving after 1 year if this ship goes down.

    Glad this is finally done. Welcome aboard, Maeda!

    Boston Red Sox have left the chat room. Good, let’s work specifically with LA to get this done. Let them focus on the Betts part of the return.

    It’s not dead yet... Glad the Twins are just working with the Dodgers to get Maeda.

    I feel your pain... Hope you can get out of there safely!

    Do the rules change during the season? Otherwise why couldn’t the Twins back out of the Dyson trade last year after reviewing his medical reports? They learned within a week he was damaged goods and needed surgery. Chaim gets a good week to review medicals in February while teams at the trade deadline get 10 minutes to review medical reports?

    I concur with Aaron Gleeman listening to their last podcast. How can the Red Sox; 1) Determine solely off a medical report Graterol is not a starting pitcher? And... 2) Still want him included in the trade after his medical report halted this whole negotiation? If Graterol is such a red flag, then the Sox should have requested another starting pitching prospect. That would have been a somewhat reasonable negotiation tactic... Still requesting Graterol + another top prospect? That seems fishy.... I’m disappointed the trade didn’t get finalized. Oh well, now we know how the new regime in Boston operates. Not sure how willing the Twins are to work with them again soon.

    So much for closing this case. As more reports come out I have more questions than before. No one from baseball has taken accountability for this scandal. And fans deserve some answers if the game they’re watching is rigged.

    This is stunning. Wow. “Just alternate your signs!” Teams changed them a dozen times a game. Except the struggling teams like Oakland and Toronto who didn’t seem to care. Manfred has no cojones. Luhnow and his colleagues should have been banned for life.

    I was at Midway! It was a clear day to see the whole city from above.

    You needed this situation to happen in order to be concerned? Not the last 2 off seasons where he’s declined extensions?

    Update: Finally got the hell out of Charlotte. Now I have a layover in Chi Town for the next hour... Can’t wait to get home to my dog!
  14. Vanimal46
    Probably should wait until the Maeda deal is finalized. Otherwise we're back to Thorpe/Smeltzer/Dobnak in the rotation again until Pineda/Hill come back.

    Charlotte Airport is delayed multiple hours for Southwest flights. Tornado warnings yesterday and 4+ inches of rain. I just want to get the hell out of here soon.
  16. Vanimal46
    I saw the Betts/Price portion of the trade is finalized. Nothing on Graterol/Maeda yet?
  17. Vanimal46
    What a shame... At least the prospect people are happy to have their dominant back end reliever again.
  18. Vanimal46
    Haha! When the genie granted you 3 wishes, I’m not sure why all three of your wishes was knowing what would happen for the Twins in the 2019/2020 offseason! Me? I probably would have asked to have the ability to fly. You have some weird wishes, Bird.
  19. Vanimal46
    It probably slipped Falvine’s mind completely to trade from surplus... Or maybe, just maybe, other teams share who they’re interested in?
  20. Vanimal46
    You were able to determine Graterol is a dominant back end reliever in a sample size of 14 innings? That's impressive, man. I realize there are a lot of prospect lovers on this site, and I'm sorry for your loss. I hope y'all can forgive Falvine by opening day.
  21. Vanimal46
    Never forget! Brian Kielty for Shannon Stewart. The score is 1 to 1. Let’s see more impact trades!
  22. Vanimal46
    A cost effective, established starter for 4 years isn’t making it count? Let’s remember if it’s a little painful, that’s the right price. We’re all a little too accustomed to reading Betts for Jake Reed and Brian Duensing proposals on our team websites... Also, which WAR are you talking about? I learned the other day that WAR measures different things, so let’s clarify first.

    I accept Venmo and PayPal We’ve got a cool community here. Let’s not forget part of being a community is learning about each other!
  24. Vanimal46
    Exactly. I never thought I would witness an offseason where they sign a free agent for $20+ million AAV, AND trade a top prospect for established pitching. This is what I’ve wanted for years and I’m going to ****ing EMBRACE it!
  25. Vanimal46
    This has been crazy to see unfold... MLB baseball making a huge splash 2 days after the Super Bowl! Falvine made a judgment call and sold high on Graterol. Maybe they think he’s just a reliever. I’m excited that the rotation is getting stronger! It’s go time in 2020!!
