Why the Twins Might Need to Trade Carlos Correa
nicksaviking replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't think trading him extends the team's winning window. I mean, are they in that window now? You'd have to trade the one star player and then use the money to sign, what, four non-star players? So basically you'd have to get lucky and acquire four Carlos Santanas instead of Santana, Margot, Vazquez and DeSclafani. That parley NEVER pays off. -
Disliking ownership or the front office or the team in general doesn't mean you can't acknowledge when they do something right.

Hey I like getting prospects, but I'm not interested in trading for more of them at this time. Offensively Alcantara looks like he's OK in most areas but great in none of them. Seems to me those types of prospects end up having nice careers spread out over about a half dozen clubs. They're not building blocks.

“As far as any of the ridiculous allegations out there, I’m not going to spend more than one sentence in response to it, and that is I resent any of those accusations because they’re patently false,” There you have it. Mr. "I've been immunized", ditch training camp with no explanation, Sandy-Hook-didn't-happen says he had NOTHING to do with his coach getting fired. Hard not to believe him with his track record.
-
Their upcoming schedule could save him. Browns, Giants, Bengals, Jaguars. Though, if they lose those games, yeah, no way he survives.
-
I'm guessing the gambling kingpins would tell the NFL they aren't taking a three week decrease in profits. And the NFL is going to listen to the gambling kingpins.
-
Yeah, the coastal cities and media moguls don't understand the Midwest. Blacking out games in the middle of the Dakotas is like New York blacking out everything East of Cleveland.
-
Well, the cost USED to be covered by advertisers and I'm pretty sure the NFL and NBA are doing great in that area. But the average Joe wouldn't recognize Jose Ramirez walking down the street, and 95% of the population probably has never heard of Bobby Witt Jr. MLB has screwed up in so many ways, but this might be the worst. I mean we're living in an age where Youtube and Tik Tok nobodies are famous and there are advertisements plastered on every one of the two dozen screens in people's houses. How are the best baseball players in the world nearly anonymous?
-
I'd guess there'd also be the issue of getting in a situation with another team's current defensive coordinator about who can flex the hardest.
-
Good first step. Ending blackouts will keep the team in mind and help attendance too. But only fervent baseball fans are going to seek out and pay $20 per month to watch the Twins. The teams on MLB.TV need to continue building enthusiasm and excitement for the product to get one of the big streamers to want to air them to a significantly larger audience. The Padres, Guardians, Brewers and DBacks have done pretty good with that 'enthusiasm and excitement' part, the Twins aren't currently pulling their weight though.
-
He said he's going to vacation, and I don't blame him.
-
A lot of that going around.......
-
Also, if the Vikings end up losing Flores, getting Salah next year would be a pretty good replacement. But I still think Flores is forever blacklisted out of a HC job in the NFL. Could turn to the NCAA though.
-
I agree Pederson could go early if they don't start winning. That owner has a history of firing coaches midseason and always seemingly very justifiably. It's worked for him in the past, going back to that old trick may seem like a smart move. Although that same reason is why I think McCarthy is safe during the season. Seemed like Jason Garret was going to get fired mid-season every other year but he never was. Carolina is a mess, and they've changed head coaches mid season two years in a row and three of the last five years and it hasn't worked at all. But I think at some point the owner will know all the blame will fall on him if he keeps doing it (which it should). The owner is a drunken idiot, but I'm leaning toward Dave Canales staying so he can be the scapegoat. But my money is on Antonio Pierce in Las Vegas going first. Davis doesn't care about public perception and that team looks as dysfunctional as any. Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland too. I hope the Eagles keep treading downward too and they fire Nick Sirianni. Man, I really don't like that guy.
-
And they lose their defensive minded HC AND are pulling the DC away from focusing on the defense. This team has the chance to get even worse!
-
Who had Robert Salah as the first to get fired? Wow, so the defensive minded HC of one of the best defensive teams in the league gets fires even though it's Aaron Rodgers, the offense and Rodger's buddy OC who actually stink. Geez, I wonder who's idea this was.
-
I hate New Orleans way more than I hate KC. Actually, I pretty much hate every NFC team more than KC. I know it's annoying that they keep winning, but Andy Reid might be my favorite non-Viking involved in the game.
-
Yup, he was clearly unconscious. His hands were doing that "My brain isn't currently connected to my body" thing that everyone was harping about with Tua too. I was less shocked that the NFL let one of their star players back into a key game than I was that the announcers decided to keep their mouths shut about it.
-
Right, that's pretty much how they've gotten every one of their competent pitchers from outside the organization, not free agency. Still need the payroll space to do it though.
-
Seems like the Surley Brewing logo is made for that:
-
"Like" for the agreement that I also think it's that the payroll situation that changed after the front office picked the first lane. "Dislike" for the 85 wins and hope. Which looks to be disgustingly accurate at this point.
-
Of course if you're adding one guy and removing a Sonny Gray, you're at best treading water and more likely drowning. This team just wasn't built to absorb a payroll decrease. I couldn't care less who people want to blame; ownership or the front office. It needed to be continuing to add quality veterans with an escalating. but league average payroll, or a bottom ten payroll but with top end prospect development. If the prospect development is going to take a back seat to signing and playing veterans, the veterans need to be better players. AND if it was prospect development, they needed to be realistic in knowing that that doesn't happen in a year. Or even two years most likely. They needed to pick a lane but they're all over the road right now.
-
Bad game but good win. I know the Vikings have done well over there before, but I really dislike the London game. Too many new variables with the location and time change. Great time for a bye week, plenty of time to fix the mistakes.
-
I would say it's possible but still very unlikely Lewis is traded. I'd guess one of the lefty outfields get moved. Sell high on Larnach instead of Wallner though please. If they do trade any young controllable players though, I'd prefer they trade them together to level up, instead of trading them separately to tread water. Have to think Lee, Larnach plus something else would get the Mariners attention regarding their pitching.
-
'Too close to call' per the Big Ten. Which obviously means no flag should have been thrown.
