    You're missing the point of the post I responded to. They want front office people to be honest and transparent with their fans. That will never happen. Hell, the Orioles had a Machado trade secured with LA a week before it was announced, and the front office people still deceived fans by saying 'We have multiple offers to look through! Milwaukee, Philly, and New York are still in the mix!'

    When I think of honest and transparent people, sports general managers are just behind Donald Trump in that line. They are literally paid to lie and deceive for a living.

    Is it only 1 player per team that can be put on waivers for an August trade?

    Does anyone see themselves renewing their subscription when the time comes? For $60 a year I expected something.... more, frankly. I've enjoyed the occasional Eno Sarris article, and Ken Rosenthal's stuff. Unfortunately Dan Hayes does nothing different than the other Twins beat writers.

    Maybe Lynn reclaims some future FA value back in the NL Central.

    That's a good high level overview of MLB free agents. They could have explored a trade like they did for Cave, explored the international market, and hell, check out independent leagues. LaMarre in general was aiming low... No surprise it didn't work out.
  7. Vanimal46
    We discussed quite a bit over the winter a RH hitting 4th OF was needed on the team... Some people rebutted by saying "Tell me who was available better than LaMarre willing to be a bench player" and I would say it's not our jobs as community members on a blog to know that answer. I'm willing to bet there was a better option than LaMarre though.

    Apathy has set in for me. This is the most uninteresting Twins team in the last 5 years IMO. Especially so once Dozier and/or Escobar is traded.

    Copy cat They already got my money for MLB.tv... In my mind I got value from it watching games earlier in the season. As far as time now... Yeah, can't say I've watched more than a couple of innings over the last month or so.

    No, they don't owe the common fan an explanation about roster construction and moves. At the same time, fans don't owe the team their time and ESPECIALLY their money when they're a bad baseball team.

    Hopefully. He assumes the 5th spot in the rotation for now, but ideally Lynn is traded in the next 9 days. Maybe Gibson.

    RIP Tony Sparano

    I've always believed true catchers don't move around and play other positions in the minors. So it was clear to me he wasn't viewed as a catcher, even though that's what it says on his baseball reference page. I'm not mad about how he was handled or the fact he never started a game at catcher for the Twins.
  16. Vanimal46
    Have you seen him before or know what his pitch mix is?
  17. Vanimal46
    Lots of Minnesota fans appreciate him. Don't be fooled by the loud minority voices on this site. The majority of casual fans will be sad to see him go.
  18. Vanimal46
    So we have another Adam Brett Walker III... Oh boy! Can't wait for the heated debates
  19. Vanimal46
    That's baseball for you. At least he's good enough to make up the deficit. On the other side of the coin, LaMarre's one good week masked the next 2 months of him playing bad baseball.
  20. Vanimal46
    Steve Holm is a real person that played professional baseball for the Twins?
  21. Vanimal46
    Like every season, there will be fat to trim on the 40 man. Fringe players will be replaced by younger fringe players. It's way too early to think they will have too many SPs for 2019.
  22. Vanimal46
    That's my concern as well. Frankly I wasn't sure if he should be back in Minnesota anytime this season. It's encouraging that he's lost 20 lbs but I'm hoping for significant weight loss like Kyle Schwarber did last offseason.
  23. Vanimal46
    Agree with all of this. The NBA is taking a page out of the NFL's playbook embracing emotions and drama to stay in the news cycle. Even as a non-basketball fan like you it's hard to avoid seeing that Demar DeRozen hates being traded to San Antonio... Or this star wants to play with his buddy on another team.
  24. Vanimal46
    Brian Dozier is the equivalent of North Dakota men's hockey. Every year from October - December they start slow, and fans raise their pitchforks asking to fire the coach. Once January rolls around they get red hot, and end up in the NCAA tournament every year.
  25. Vanimal46
    Shhhh. Don't let others here know that Escobar is a prime candidate for negative regression and Dozier for positive regression... Interesting that they're predicting a crash to Earth for Atlanta. They do have a ton of young players to rely on I guess.
