    I see that Eddie Rosario is the new Brian Duensing throw in on every trade proposal

    If I had a dollar every time I heard this line.... I’d have at least 3 dollars this winter.

    Have you considered that people ignore your topics because of your self-imposed parameters? Who wants to engage when you ask about a team who’s traded a top 5 prospect with revenue of $200 million with the climate of Minnesota in the last 2 years? It’s exhausting. I thought we were on the same page at the start of the offseason. I even remember vividly you would have spent top dollar on a free agent and have a budget of $135 million! Where’s that person these days? Same old, same old, MLR... Very few fans on this site are making absurd asks. The vast majority is asking for one bold move. Just one to supplement a 101 win team who will have unrealized revenue not seen before at Target Field.

    Nah man, we don't get Sa-now in Texas... It's why I moved down here!

    You value his AFL sample size over an entire season of A+ and AA at bats?

    Update:
  7. Vanimal46
    Didn’t miss this target! He’s a loveable veteran.
  8. Vanimal46
    Probably a good thing the Twins didn’t sign him. If the title indicates anything, fans can’t spell MadBum anyways. Or Baumgartner, Bumgardener, Bumgarter.... Though it would have been cool to have our own version of Henry Rowengarter from Rookie of the Year and just mispronounce his name for the next 5 years!

    Aaron Gleeman also mentioned Nola’s contract and Carlos Martinez as potential comps for Berrios earlier this offseason. https://theathletic.com/1368529/2019/11/11/twins-jose-berrios-byron-buxton-contract-potential-extensions/ I also wonder if the lingering CBA issue is affecting extension discussions...
  10. Vanimal46
    He’s turned down extensions the last 2 offseasons IIRC. Doesn’t appear at this point Berrios wants to lock himself in long term.
  11. Vanimal46
    Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Enjoy the rest of the offseason gang I’m out of here.
  12. Vanimal46
    Here are more facts: The only pitchers that could be considered “impact” pitchers left are Ryu and Bumgarner. They only cost money. This regime has made 3 “buying” trades. They sold Jaime Garcia within 3 days of acquiring him, botched the Dyson trade, and got 2 months of Sergio Romo. If they actually give up prospect capital to get impact pitching I will he ecstatic. It’s only halfway through the offseason, and one avenue that only requires money to play in it is drying up.
  13. Vanimal46
    Are you happy with how things are going so far? Think they could do a little bit better?
  14. Vanimal46
    Can they try making at least a $50 million mistake? Perhaps they could sign a player so Erv Santana doesn’t hold the title of largest FA contract given for yet another year.
  15. Vanimal46
    Blake Trienen 1/$10 million to the Dodgers per everyone on the Twitter machine.
  16. Vanimal46
    Tanner Roark signs with the Blue Jays 2/$24 mill per Jon Heyman on the Twitter machine.
  17. Vanimal46
    Did we just become best friends?!
  18. Vanimal46
    It would help if Falvine plugged in the iron first...
  19. Vanimal46
    This is the correct answer. Home Alone 3 was on TV the other day, and oh boy, that’s a really bad movie.
  20. Vanimal46
    Not really. But there’s only 2 left in the tier of pitching they targeted, and one has already said he has no interest in playing for Minnesota. Until “impact pitching” is found, I’d appreciate not constantly moving the goalposts. The goal of this offseason was stated very clearly by the CBO and GM.
  21. Vanimal46
    Not sure about you, but when I hear the words "impact pitching" from the CBO and GM, I don't think to look halfway down the list of free agents to find it. I typically start at the top of the list. What about you?
  22. Vanimal46
    Wherever he lands, that team has a good chance of playing in the World Series!
  23. Vanimal46
    I have these same concerns. Don't believe in the climate excuse at all. The Twins have a long standing preconception of not paying top dollar, so perhaps agents steer their clients away from the organization? Does Falvey and Levine already have a reputation for offering below market value contracts?
  24. Vanimal46
    Also, with modern technology the plot of Home Alone doesn’t work in 2019/2020. Kevin would face time his parents saying “Hey you left me at home!” Mom gets out of the cab, ubers back home and if they fly Southwest, change their ticket to a later time in the day. Worst case, if Kevin’s parents don’t want to go back and get him, they Venmo him $200 and he sits at home. Only answering the door for the Uber Eats delivery guy.
  25. Vanimal46
    Who asked for this? Don’t mess with a classic like Home Alone... There’s no way, no how, they can recreate that magic.
