  1. We were not going to shove our excess down LA's throat. Nor were we going to walk away from exactly what we wanted and needed.
  2. Our favorite team has done a solid job at trading for talent. At the 2018 trade deadline alone, we picked up 4 starting pitching prospects and Alcala. I understand members buried in the past, as I do the ever present Impatient Brigade. Going forward, things can't look much better.
  3. Can we get a list of players with waaaaaaaaay too much talent who have gone away quickly?
  4. It's a matter of time until we win the Pressly trade. Just to be consistent, let's remember to judge the Graterol trade less than a year later. Also, Nick Anderson is Falvey's David Ortiz.
  5. Exactly! It's not mandatory to have an ace to win a ring.
  6. Agree. Few thought we would fine ourselves in this position several years ago.
  7. Back in the days of yore, I saw greatness in Matt Kinney. No doubt in my mind he was a better prospect than Johann. There is a very good reason why the search committee didn't pick one of the 11,000+ members here on TD.
  8. I thought Ryu, who I refer to as The Titanic, was the worst free agency signing this offseason.
  9. "I'm under orders from ownership to dump Maeda's salary. I'll pick up the freight the first year and include someone who can catch him. All I need from you is 2 warm bodies who can deal with nice weather everyday."
  10. Great article Nick! Couldn't agree more.
  11. Falvey let the Dodgers know at the Winter Meetings we had some interest in Maeda. Boston wanted Graterol and advised the Dodgers of this. Yada, Yada, Yada. We have the solid #3 we need and 10M in the bank to spend w/o our benevolent owners approval. Time to step off the ledge.
  12. They didn't wisely offer a position player because that's not what their trade partner wanted.
  13. Few teams consistently do as well as we do in IFA. My thought was we have a book on him, much like the ones that helped the 2018 trade deadline.
  14. Get ready to be quite depressed. We won't have 2 great internal options until 2022.
  15. Agree. I'm looking for him to stick in 2022. Also, I'm starting to think Enlow will be the one to follow.
  16. Every mid-market team except yours, needs to rebuild at some point in time. Due to our past successes, being continuously in poor draft position caught up with us.
  17. Agree. May can be replaced internally if need be. Hoping Cruz earns a 1 year extension. Ìf he has another solid year, I like Odorizzi for 3 years at 75M.
  18. It's not so bad as long as we take turns.
  19. I would love to see Almost Everyday Eduardo back!
  20. Can you share with the board the applicable track record? Maybe you haven't heard. Crow was recently placed on the endangered species list here in Minnesota.
  21. I 100% guarantee, each and every team's biggest need is not starting pitching.
  22. Granted we signed JD. I don't take that we mean in the future we will be allowed to spend like drunken sailors. I bet your subscription to the Athletic vs. my membership to FanGraphs, that indeed it is the same ol' Pohlads.
  23. Maeda is closer to Gerrit Cole than Perez. Cole is a true ace, Maeda is a solid #3, Perez is in the indeterminable number of #5's.
  24. They need the money because we're owned by Pohlads. The 2018 trade deadline was text book and this offseason was the greatest in our history. Pry yourself away from TD and see what the national experts are saying.
