    Every time the topic of trade comes up, im always floored at the proposed scenarios....In almost every case, I leave feeling like the twins are giving too much in said scenarios. Then the real trades actually go down and its Deleno Deshields for Corey Kluber.....It almost never is what people think.

    Lets Trade Sano to Texas for Kyle Gibson! We need pitching!!! I hear he is under contract for 3 years!

    Mauer's contract also was a great example of why these protracted mega deals ALWAYS look dumb in the end.... The same will be true of Trout, Harper, Cole, Strasburg, Rendon in years 5,6,7 and beyond....just as it did with Joe Mauer. Point being, you sometimes need to sign the "stupid contract" to move the needle. Now we need to show we are willing to do it more than once in a lifetime for a hometown slam dunk allstar at a premium position.

    If the weather excuse is indeed our biggest enemy, then I say take the $$$ we arent spending on players this year and put a retractable roof on TF. Problem solved.

    I believe the answer (as Aaron Gleeman stated in the most recent podcast) is that multiple factors are at work here...The proportions of those factors to one another is I think whats debatable. Its some combo of: Lower offers coming from MN, The percieved notion that this is not a "destination" (and within that are contained the "culture of losing" and the atmosphere in general in the frozen north/flyover state/nothing here....fill in the blanks). There are probably other factors too but those to me are the biggest ones. Still, not any amount of excuse is going to appease this fan base right now. Are we pissed? Yes we are. Will we go from pissed to burnign the place down come spring if nothing has happened? Best believe it.

    Rediculous. Prepare to battle the CWS for the Central and IF we make it, another 3 game playoff sweep at the hands of a team that cares enough to spend a ****ing dime

    Eff Chicago. They are bumpkins just like the rest of us between the coasts.
  10. bustedstuff88
    No

    Cole makes more on 3 pitches than I do in a year lol

    Yeah this is unnerving....its like they are almost purposely trying to mess with us.

    So the Twins will once every decade or so hand out a large contract to a homegrown talent....

    We went from cautiously hopeful to having our backs up against the wall pretty quickly this offseason.

    Strictly word of mouth...I cant lend any particular credence. It was just brought up and I got to thinking about the sense it might make, and that happened to be alot. Maybe im still just sore over the Twins not getting Wheeler

    Ive heard rumblings of the Twins swinging a trade with the Tigers for a big name pitcher, and I have to assume it would be Boyd. Anyone else heard anything of this? Inter-division trades, I know....but if we cant get any FA to take our money, we may have to just go down this path to obtaining talent.

    At least the White Sox didnt get him...

    So your plan then is to essentially trot out the same rotation in 20 as you did in 19 less Gibson?
  22. bustedstuff88
    So glad I kept all my cards from over the years....I am fondest of my assortment of T206 Tobacco cards
  23. bustedstuff88
    No, no and NO. Arraez isnt getting traded......If he did, we would get fleeced no matter who the return was.
  24. bustedstuff88
    This is an incredibly confusing post...
  25. bustedstuff88
    Im not trippin.... I feel like the recent moves by the pale hose will blow up right in their faces before too long.
