    NO LONGER POSSIBLE !! It was all just posturing for the fan base. The Twins will be "linked" to EVERY MLB Free Agent !!

    Yea Right !! Only so they can call out to the fan base, "Well, we tried !!"

    Only got done as opposed to a trade to please the fans. As was the case with the Mauer contract, ownership did not want to alienate the fan base. During the term of his contract, while he is collecting a handsome payout while once again on the Disabled List, the fans will be moaning and groaning about the size of his contract while the front office will be explaining that the team is too poor to surround Buxton with the talent necessary for the team to be successful. (See Mauer, Joe) This also means that the long term status of Donaldson has been determined. There is no future for him in Minnesota. He will either be traded prior to the end of his contract or will be allowed to walk after the end of his contract

    Should the Twins wish to sign Buxton, clauses in the contract such as "opt out" and "performance incentives" can be structured in such a way as to reach a contract acceptable to both sides. The fact that an agreement has not yet taken place indicates that Buxton will soon be gone from the Twins. That being the case,the Twins need to be both proactive and aggressive in identifying trade partners. This organization cannot revert to the Ryan philosophy of just fielding offers. The Twins need to identify the SPECIFIC players they want in return and find a way of putting together a trade that lands them that talent. That includes an area in which the Twins have been deficient in over the years = multi team trades.

    Carl and his offspring adhere to the Fred Flintstone philosophy of BUSINESS "Your only friend's a buck and the more bucks you've got, the more friends you've got" Contrary to the belief that: "You've got to spend money to make money"

    IF Buxton is not traded. He will reign in his on field efforts to enable himself to stay uninjured through the season so he can "cash in" at the season's end. No highlights in 2022 of Buxton crashing into walls, diving to make catches: it's all about posturing for a big payoff.

    San Francisco helped us out once before when they wanted AJ. They need a CF, Taylor Roger's brother is there, and Longoria has a year left on his contract. What about Buxton, Rogers, Donaldson to SF for Longoria, a MLB OF that can play CF, and a handful of prospects? That should keep the cheap Pohlad family happy without Carl turning over in his grave ....

    What is the logic behind requiring that players on the 60 day IL be added back onto the roster at the conclusion of the season? Why is it then that the same players can then be moved off the roster and onto the 60 day IL at the beginning of the next season? With the recovery time associated with knee and arm injuries requiring surgery as well as the ability of information and documentation afforded by technology, there is no reason that surgically recovering players should not be able to remain on the 60 Day IL once placed on it, until such time that they are medically cleared to return.. Stashing is more difficult these days.

    Buxton Will Be Traded. Just a question of who is received in return and the trading partner. Should he still be with the team on opening day, don't expect that he will play with the same reckless abandon as has been the case. He will be protecting himself from injury so that he can get a big free agent contract. In addition, why kill yourself for a team that is going nowhere in 2022 ??

    By switching Rosario to RF and Kepler to LF, an advantage would be that each player's glove hand would be TOWARDS their respective field's foul line. Cleaner fielding opportunities to balls hit down the line as the players would not have to backhand them.

    If the Twins miss out on Dylan Bundy, What about possibly shoehorning on to the roster... AL BUNDY !!
  12. Jacksson
    Twins can offer exensions to Buxton until they are blue in the face. It remains up to Buxton and his agent whether ANY of those extension offers are even considered, yet alone signed. In the end, being a part of a successful, winning, contending, big market, high profile organizations will win out over whatever the Twins offer. The Twins' organization needs to face up to the inevitable and plan on an existence WITHOUT Buxton. Time to figure out NOW whether to trade him, trade him for what, or issue him a QA and take the draft pick when the QA is declined. So then, who is in CF??
  13. Jacksson
    Wait...... Look what else is coming.... OF = Larry, Moe & Curly OF Reserve = Shemp Catchers = Williams & Ree Starters = Abbott & Costello Starters = Burns & Allen Starters = Stiller & Meara Relievers = Laurel & Hardy Relievers = Cheech & Chong Relievers = Hudson & Landry Relievers = Homer & Jethro Infield = Chico, Harpo, Groucho & Zeppo IF Reserves = Penn & Teller Forget about seeing quality Major League baseball at Target Field in 2022 But, you will be ROTFL at what takes place on the field !!

    So Detroit has become the Tig-wins ?? Wilson Ramos Niko Goodrum Jonathan Schoop Akil Baddoo Robbie Grossman
  15. Jacksson
    No further discussion of flipping Kepler to LF? Irrespective of arm strength and range, Seems like some consideration should be given to the defensive advantage of outfielders having their glove hand along the foul line.
  16. Jacksson
    EASY. Be on the lookout for a team in need of a left hand hitting 4th outfielder who can play CF that has a right hand hitting 4th outfielder who can play CF. Make a deal.

    Crack the whip. Get the Feds involved. Player gets in to the USA on an expedited basis or No cushy job for the US consul. No foreign aid for that country.....

    Twins could save a small fortune on footwear repairs if they were to have their own..... SHOEMAKER !!
  19. Jacksson
    GREAT STORY !! Oh, what might have been....
  20. Jacksson
    In addition to being corner outfield insurance, also DH insurance.
  21. Jacksson
    If they hadn't signed him, The Twins Off season Free Agency efforts, Coukd have been referred to as being........ HAPP Less !!
  22. Jacksson
    Trades are exciting, interesting and worthy of lots of conversation. Signing an over-the-hill, 38 year old starter for 8 Million, not so much.
  23. Jacksson
    The interest in Duvall is all about connections. Amazing talent in Adam's Family. Fester's pitching is electric. Gomez' bat is explosive. Pugsley is working hard at training.
  24. Jacksson
    I do remember how saving a few bucks by dropping David Ortiz and replacing him with Matt LeCroy worked out.....
  25. Jacksson
    Interestingly, the Chicago White Sox will be the only MLB team in 2021 that when the Manager goes to the mound to make a pitching change, It will be the Manager that uses a powered cart, instead of the Relief Pitcher that is entering the game !!
