    Its not right...I wouldn't say it. BUT... god these guys are soft. Oh...a fan said something nasty to you? If that's the worst thing you have to deal with as a professional athlete, then your probably doing fine. Heckling is part of the game and it always has been. Do people cross the line sometimes? Of course. Does he need thicker skin? YES. they used to throw hot pennies at outfielders in new york.

    as someone mentioned...anybody in the top 12 of the starting pitching depth chart are probably going to get plenty of innings.

    did he not sign your baseball card?

    I don't see what the fuss is about. This is clearly an upgrade. Great hire.

    Its really easy at this point to play the "woe is us card" but...do they REALLY need scouts to go watch other MLB teams in person? The article on the athletic says that most teams are doing away with this and just using video. With all the data that is out there for these guys, it really does seem pointless to send somebody in person to scout games.

    Jenkins really has nothing left to prove.

    Players are human but at the same time, there is nobody at triple A who can say they belong on the big club because of their results. All of them are there for a reason...nobody down there is forcing the front offices hand.

    I was bummed to see they aren't selling, But, what if... It works out? If they have 425M in debt, my guess is the new "partners" are bringing in enough money to offset that amount or more. I think they do know and understand that a winning team puts people in the seats which drives revenue, which drives value. With the debt cleared, my bet is that they spend on free agents. Do I think they'll go crazy? No. Do I think they will spend a reasonable amount to make the team competitive....yes. They have before and I think they'll do it again.

    If i'm the front office and I know the new ownership is going to spend out of the gate, i'm creating organizational depth. Relievers break down and are not the most reliable group so trading from that strength is smart. If you add 2-3 bats and maybe a starter under new ownership, all of a sudden you have a very deep system to plug holes with. The Pohlads completely hamstrung the front office this year and I can't blame them for tearing it down before new ownership arrives. People hate that they gave up Varland, but I think Roden looks like he's got a chance to be a player and i'd happily trade a reliever for a potential impact bat everyday every day of the week. I think by this time next year people will look back on how they sold this deadline as a slick move. Maybe i'll be wrong...I dunno.

    LOL. Grow up.

    This might be an unpopular opinion but i'm fine with all of it. I'm guessing that regarding Varland, who they know way better than we do, that there was some kind of issue. With Jax...he's in his 30's and thats when guys start breaking down. I think they know that with new ownership coming in that they have a strong minor league system and this creates even more depth. I HIGHLY doubt a new ownership group is going to come in and be cheap...at least not initially. New owners are more likely to come in and spend a bunch of money to bring in high end talent...which when combined with whats coming from the farm (particularly pitching) and you have a recipe for sustained success. I'm not that worried about all this. It might sting the rest of this year and next year, but I'm happy to see what should be a quick rebuild. Hope they don't win a game the rest of the year and hit it in the draft lotto.

    At least everybody in the Minor league forum can finally shut up about cleaning house and letting Eeles and Mckusker play everyday. #thankyoujesus

    I'm certain that we'll look back on this as one of the greatest days in Twins history.

    This "core" was never going to win a world series. Blow it ALL up...new owners then come in...play the prospects for a year and see what you have. Then start spending money on free agents. EZ.
  22. Obsvr
    He gone.

    in 1977 you could smoke cigs on the field. Different game now...

    So does baseball even really need a spring training? Why not just have these guys show up in April and get going.
  25. Obsvr
    well, its not inconceivable that the Pohlads will retain some piece of the ownership pie. If that ends up being the case it would make sense that you would do some restructuring. A new majority owner may come in and clean house but i'm guessing minority owners would have some say, especially if its the Pohlads.
