    It is season ticket sales season!
  2. D.C Twins
    I could see Sabato coming back on a minor league contract for the Twins. Wallner should go tear it up in Japan. Keeping Ross is a no brainer. I could easily see him as our cheap utility man of the future. Larnach and Lewis need to go.... It would be nice to get something for them, but I'm not sure they are worth much to others unfortunately.
  3. D.C Twins
    Wait... you're telling me that the Pohlads may not mean what they say and that they have been slashing payroll/cost in preparation for a sale?!?! Shocking I tell you... absolutely shocking! (Narrator's Voice): This has been obvious for 2 years

    2 and 3 'Downs' could be combined. MLB pitchers can command their pitches better. They can hit their spots within the strike zone. EROD has swing and miss in the zone..... Put it together and he could be struggling with making contact with pitches that are more often strikes in the MLB than balls in the MiLB This issue will make or break him over the long haul.... Rooting for him HARD because he is a spark plug that makes those around him better and the game more enjoyable for fans!

    Totally get this, but what if Ryan is traded? What if Kremer regresses to the mean? What if Matthews and/or Preilipp have sophomore struggles? What if Abel doesn't progress as we anticipate? I feel like SP depth is important and 6.9mil shouldn't disrupt the Twins overall budget. If some of the young ones have to 'prove it' for a month or two in AAA, not a big deal. If they most prove it AND there are no injuries, they come up and Ober goes to the bullpen. Is the bullpen an ideal use of 6.9mil... NO... but again, you are paying for experience and depth and flexibility... for one year
  6. D.C Twins
    Like the thinking here. And if TP actions match is bluster, pay Jeffers (Caratini is the problem here obviously) (Narrator's voice) TP's actions will not match his bluster...
  7. D.C Twins
    At 6.9 million for only a 1 year commitment for rotational depth that is ALWAYS needed, I say tender. I completely understand why others may want to let him walk, but I have a suspicion that he will be helpful overall next year.
  8. D.C Twins
    I'm bullish on Raya as a quality cheap 7th-9th inning MLB bullpen piece. This was year 1 of the transition. He will be more comfortable next year I think Quick eventually becomes a high leverage bullpen arm
  9. D.C Twins
    He is going to be a STAR.... sit back relax and enjoy the show
  10. D.C Twins
    Most all people on TD would like to have Ryan beyond this year, but after this year he is a FA. He has expressed no interest in staying here (likely wants to go West) AND we have next to zero chance of signing him as a FA. The question is not if he is leaving, it is what, if anything, do the Twins want to get before he goes Again, the smart move was to trade sometime from the 2025 to the 2026 trade deadline. The difference between trading in the off season, trading at the 2027 deadline, and keeping him for the season and getting a comp pick is far more marginal and really not even worth arguing about anymore
  11. D.C Twins
    replied to wrong post
  12. D.C Twins
    They already missed the optimal trading window. (ie when smart smaller market teams trade assets they know they will lose in FA) A big shoulder shrug from me as to whether they trade him during the off season or deadline
  13. D.C Twins
    Magic 8 Ball says "The Twins will report that they were sooooooooooo close with a suuuuuper competitive offer but unfortunately it did not work out...(They tried reaaaaalllly hard though!)"
  14. D.C Twins
    Don't forget about Cody's_Law_of_Clickbait
  15. D.C Twins
    If Tommy P is serious about being aggressive, he will outbid the Yankees for Jeffers and keep him right here. Not only because we need a good catcher but also because he is at the top of a pretty poor FA class (spoiler alert Matt, the Twins will not outbid the Yankees, but they will make sure to 'leak' to the press, to include TD, that they were sooooooooooooooooo close with their bid!) It is season ticket sales time which mandates typical Pohlad Platitudes (trademark pending)

  17. D.C Twins
    I so wish that it was 'mindless vitriol' but alas, it is 'absolutely well earned vitriol' Part of the well-earned vitriol is that the team most certainly did not act correctly at the deadline which was plain to see real time for those of us in the 'mindless vitriol' camp
  18. D.C Twins
    “Let me just say, I have been very vocal about what our ambitions are. I have been vocal, and to some degree critical, of where we’ve been. And so you can take some comfort in the fact that, with payroll, wherever we land is cognizant of both those things and will be commensurate with what we’re trying to accomplish.” (Narrator's Voice): The Twins fans are 'cognizant' and do not 'take some comfort'
  19. D.C Twins
    "The Twins did exactly what they said they were going to do," "All in all, a good first step." NO. IT. WAS. NOT. Credit is not given for doing exactly what you say you are going to do when what you did demonstrated a complete misunderstanding of your team's talent and position.
  20. D.C Twins
    The stuff that comes out of the Pohlad's mouths could fertilize all of the Minnesota farms for the year!
  21. D.C Twins
    Tom "Pohlad: "(The offseason is) another opportunity for us to put action to words. I’m really excited about the month ahead." #MNTwins"
  22. D.C Twins
    Tommy P is on a mission to build as much perceived value as possible before selling the team (to include an omnipresent platter of platitudes).... nothing more and nothing less. Which is a good thing... because we sure as sh*t want him to sell the team!
  23. D.C Twins
    You need a balance of both. Huge fan of the young'ins but if we want to compete next year, we do need to pay for a big line up bat (1B preferred). We do need to pay for a catcher. We do need to pay for Bullpen support
  24. D.C Twins
    I did not.... hold your optimism until after next year. Somehow people are confident that 'he got tired' as opposed to the 'league started to catch up to him' .... probably a combination of both, but I'm certainly not ready to designate him as a core member
  25. D.C Twins
    He will likely be an above average MLB 3rd baseman. (not an ALL-Star... or winning big awards) This is a GOOD thing. Even championship contenders need to have players like this on their roster. Very valuable, especially while he is under team control
