  1. Has there been verification on Park's remaining salary obligation? Did he forfeit the remaining or are the Twins still on the hook?? Not finding anything here's where I see the Payroll sitting after avoiding arbitration Feel free to Make a Copy my Twins Payroll Tool and plug in your own numbers
  2. Delete the Cishek dreams...https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/cubs-to-sign-steve-cishek.html If this continues, Falvine better look into Belize (the city not the pitcher) as a safe haven or sanctuary from the TD backlash
  3. Kintzler reunion looks to be dead...https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2017/12/nationals-to-re-sign-brandon-kintzler.html
  4. Domo Arigato...too soon?
  5. Call me overly optimistic but I certainly hope that the big whiteboard of goals has more on it than: 1) Play for 2019...make decisions that don't mess up the big chance we'll have in '19 After last season's improvement, only thing I'd think they'd be saying is how do we get to 92 wins I agree with Jim, there are all sorts of teams that will be in play for the Wild Card/Playoff Spots...there are only 5 spots available so...Houston, NYY, Cleveland, Boston, LAA, Minnesota plus whoever over-achieves makes for no cake walk to the WC Gotta keep pushing forward! Lavelle tweets Twins have arrived...hope they didn't start with "What'd we miss?"
  6. After Dee Gordon to Mariners deal it's time to fire up the Falvine HotLine Hello Jon Daniels....$1.2Mil for Yohander Mendez Line 2...Billy Eppler...Jahmai Jones or Jo Adell (the rest of your guys are...um...not worth the Monopoly Money)
  7. From last summer's trip through the Texas League (one week before Hurricane Harvey) a few more worth the $1.2Mil Monopoly marker Padres OF Franchy Cordero Rangers LHP Yohander Mendez ChangeUp reminiscent of the other Johan
  8. Keeping with the HomeTown prospects purchased with remaining International Money Rights $1Mil to A's for Logan Shore And just cause we might as well go crazy maybe... $1Mil to A's for AJ Puk or $1.2Mil to Padres to put them over the top in exchange for Mackenzie Gore
  9. The lack of a quote showing who cited Babe Ruth as a 2-way player comparison for Ohtani leads me to assume my post may have inspired this one The BR2 reference was a homage to the stories that have been written/tweeted/broadcast about Ohtani being the Babe Ruth (a player who showed promise as both a hitter and pitcher as a young man) of Japan I attempted to clarify this with the egregious closing comment of Ohtani already being declared a HOF player at 23-years old As my aging father has taught me, much to my chagrin...one should never underestimate the 'maybe' of a number 1 and when in doubt always believe in the likelihood of a number 2!
  10. Here's what the crusty old-school baseball people running the SF Giants are planning should they sign Ohtani They've done a fantastic job of hiding this from every Tweeting-head in the media and even the most notable agent WEST of Scott Boras, Nez Balelo Once they have signed BR2 (Babe Ruth 2) they will immediately trade him to the Marlins for Giancarlo Stanton Showing the 23-year old Hall of Famer that no one is bigger than the institution of Major League Baseball
  11. Nice take on Hughes Nick...but I need more than this to shake the Ohtani news
  12. Found this from Buster If true (why would Buster make this up) Twins odds improved by 0.37%
  13. Possibly due to public out cry and unfair firing practices here's one organization that seems to have Mike's back https://sports.yahoo.com/marlins-not-willing-pay-shohei-ohtani-035924943.html Twins odds just improved by 0.115%
  14. The correct answer is: Yes https://www.youtube.com/embed/kTcRRaXV-fg
  15. Not sure this makes that much data any better
  16. Everyone knows Who's on First but I Don't Know your Third Baseman's name? Quote and post your answer (kajillion TwinsDaily points for those with the only correct answer)
  17. It's time for some heavy lifting by the FO and the Payroll department before the Armageddon that will hit Salary Structures when Machado, Harper and Kershaw (resigns with Dodgers) are Free Agents and to set the Twins up for some cost certainty for the impending 6 consecutive year playoff run (and I don't mean 6 wild card games) Below is a 6 year plan (names will obviously change in some positions and dollars will move around a little) that would add Starters and Relievers, extend a few grizzled vets and keep the core together all while maintaining a fairly flat payroll for the next 3 years Payroll totals including any Dead Pool Money [table] 2018$136.09M 2019$138.15M 2020$121.80M 2021$151.70M 2022$167.40M 2023$175.40M [/table] I call this Pay As You Know rather than Pay As You Go...you can still look at things from year to year but at least you have some certainty moving forward Do trades become more difficult? Only if players don't perform...that's what the farm is for (also why I wouldn't move young players at this time in block buster trades) controlled expenditures in the future should this Titanium plan not work out edit - Here's link to the plan as the image was too big to be little 6 year plan Extensions are always an approximation that I extrapolated from Seth's Series and the reactions by TwinsDaily peeps
  18. Here's a better look at available players from Roster Resource
