  1. Apparently the Dodgers are reviewing Stewart's medicals, and that's the holdup on the official release
  2. "If the Twins are sellers at the 2025 trade deadline, then the front office has failed." It sounds like a paradox, but at this point if they AREN'T sellers at the deadline, then they will have failed dramatically worse.
  3. Sorry if I wasn't more clear, but everything you said was indirectly implied in my comment/frustration.
  4. Not trying to shoot the messenger (and your #2 talking point is very well thought out), but I am so sick about hearing about the cutting of payroll. It's such a ridiculous notion that it should even be a thing.
  5. Honestly can’t tell if sarcasm, but if not, are you really suggesting that they drafted a consensus top 5 pick because of need? (Or lack thereof)
  6. In a year where the Twins luck into the top 5 via the lottery, are they really going to take a player they could have probably gotten at their original draft position? I get all the monetary gymnastics with going under slot at 5 to go over slot at 34 and/or 49 on a player who has fallen, but why take the chance?
  7. Played exclusively 1B or OF last year, played SS (poorly) for 9 games in 2019, otherwise hasn't played SS in 5 years. Improved but still pretty poor plate discipline. 2014 and 2019 batting lines definitely look like outliers. To echo others, I guess I'd give him a shot on a minor league deal, but not much more.
  8. I agree the comments had the same tone, but the Twins also gave up a top 100 prospect for Maeda, while they gave up a borderline top-20 Twins prospect (from a position of strength) for Odorizzi. So in that sense let's hope Maeda produces even better than Odorizzi.
  9. Isn't the opposite also true then? Say they spend $140M on payroll, but pocket the $10M. Then they actually only spent $130M, since they would have kept the $10M?
  10. Rosenthal now reporting its the Twins comp B pick and not another prospect
  11. FWIW Dan Hayes reported that the Twins wanted to settle, but the Berrios side pushed because it would benefit players in future cases.
  12. The biggest Harper acquisition the Nationals have ever made!
