    I was down there right following the hurricane. Devastating to say the least. At the time I was there people were just trying to dig out and figure out what to do. Driving in I passed the stadium. Huge long line up of cars to get into the complex to get food and water.

    At the time, I didn't particularly like losing Baddoo, but, it was the correct choice given how many were ahead of Baddoo, so it was okay for me. But I really felt that losing Wells was the costly one. I think this article was slanted to get a rise out of those who were 'irate' at losing Baddoo.

    How many owners do this, though?

    Who cares about TwinsFest? What I want to know is ... will there be a MeltDown this year??? ? I need a new pint glass! @John Bonnes, well?

    The TV contract expires after the 2023 season. This is partly why I think they can go after Correa. Surely they can and will do better with a new TV deal.

    Thank you for this personal perspective. It's a side that we rarely get to know in these situations and are quick to assume and judge based on very limited knowledge.
  7. Squirrel
    Because we can't compete with the Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Dodgers and Astros for his services
  8. Squirrel
    No ... they signed Jair. That was misreported.

    Mod note: Please stick to the topic. Thanks.

    Interesting. But ... I still am hoping that Farmer will not be our starting SS, as a placeholder or otherwise.
  11. Squirrel
    That’s not what I asked and what was stated. What SS is available who is just as good and costs less. I get the quantity over quality argument you are making but that wasn’t my question
  12. Squirrel
    I don’t think that’s enough to get the deal done but we’ll see, hopefully sooner than later
  13. Squirrel
    So what player is just as good that will cost us less?
  14. Squirrel
    I think he's earned the respect to be considered a starter until he's not. While I get that his innings may need to be managed, it will be 18 months post-surgery by the time ST rolls around.

    What did it stand for?

    I like them overall. Not a fan of the M, but don’t hate it, either. Everyone always asks me what the TC stands for. That annoys me more than whatever style M is on the caps. Mostly I don’t care as long as the baby blues are gone. They always looked like pajamas to me. But mostly I don’t care because I’m more concerned with who’s wearing the uniforms. But I think the hype of ‘rebranding’ is always silly no matter who or what it is. That said, I enjoyed the fashion show.

    Unless they are able to flip him. I mean, I hope this isn’t their plan, but it doesn’t mean they can’t sign someone else. Unless he can play 3rd?
  19. Squirrel
    IF we manage to sign Correa (and yes, that's a big if, and italicized, too), then we move Lewis or Lee to 3rd. Miranda can cover there until one of them is ready. I would have waited until mid-season to do this, but, we'll see how it plays out.
  20. Squirrel
    They will come back to haunt us I fear ...
  21. Squirrel
    All Randball Stu’s articles are satire. All of them. So take each and every one with the pointed humor intended. If it’s not your thing just walk away ?
  22. Squirrel
    I agree there are unknowns. But I can't imagine they go forth and don't up their revenue stream to some extent
  23. Squirrel
    First month? That's optimistic for Lewis' timeline. I say move Lewis to 3rd and sign a proven SS. I mean, we just had an article about how disappointing Sano was - all promise throughout the minors and his rookie year, then what? I don't want to push all in on either of these prospects to cover SS when I'm not convinced yet either will stick there. But I'm glad we have both Lewis and Lee. It's a silly article asking 'which one?'
  24. Squirrel
    I don't know the genesis of it, but perhaps in modern baseball, some utility players are getting as much play time as starters, but maybe not as much in one position? If that's the case, then they should be considered in some category. But it is weird to me, as pointed out above, that he would be considered utility for one award and 1st base for another.
  25. Squirrel
    Signing Correa won’t tie their hands. They have a lot of young players under control for several years. And they will be renegotiating their TV deal after next season. There is no reason to believe the next contract will be as low as it is currently. They could boost the payroll a little. They have room to sign BOTH Correa and Rodon. Without the shift, the SS role is going to be even more important.
