    Unfortunately, comparing the contract offer to historical Twins contract offers does not matter The only comparison that matters is the contract offer to other existing contract offers for Correa.... A valiant PR effort though (We reeeeeaaaaaaaly tried this time!)
  2. D.C Twins
    Boras leaked Yankees to drive up bids. The Cubs are downplaying interest to suppress bidding war with SF. (Nobody is worried about outbidding the Twins if they are interested)
  3. D.C Twins
    Correa signed a one year deal so Boras would not have to share his commission on a 10 year deal with Correa's previous representation. It's that simple Boras will take the most guaranteed money available and only be 'creative' if he absolutely has to. An opt out in a player's mid-30s benefits the team and not the player.... so with a Boras client.... highly unlikely
  4. D.C Twins
    I don't believe the Cubs are out for one second. If there is a 'mystery team' that is the one. And actually... the fact that there has not been mention of a 'mystery team' ... which is usually leaked by Boras to get teams biding against themselves.... tells me that there is a real strong existing competition to keep Boras happy... which is of course VERY bad for the Twins
  5. D.C Twins
    It's interesting that the path may be different each off season, but we always seem to end up digging around in the SP bargain bin eventually.... sigh....
  6. D.C Twins
    Boras will have the last say as he always does (part of the understanding if he becomes a player's agent)... players take on Boras as an agent to get the most money possible (Boras is not interested otherwise). The only reason the Twins were in last year is because Boras was not willing to sign a multi-year contract because he had to share his fee with Correa's previous representation. There is no such limitation this time around Correa is going to go where his is offered the most Guaranteed money... it's that simple. It will likely not be offered by the Twins. I don't intend to piss in people's cereal but that is how Boras works and way Correa hired him.

    This is a big deal indeed.... great incremental improvement in the attempt to mitigate tank-o-ramas

    "They've basically got all they need to field a competent ballclub next year" mmmmm .... competent ballclub......mmmmmmmm Fielding a competent ballclub makes me salivate for season tickets!
  9. D.C Twins
    I think that I'm most happy that we won't have endless articles on TD about him anymore!
  10. D.C Twins
    Not a move that a team competing for a WS championship would make... or a team competing for a division title for that matter. It IS a move that someone would make to double down on a mistake trade in an effort to protect their fragile ego though
  11. D.C Twins
    It is important to remember that the only reason Correa signed a 'creative' contract with the Twins last year is because Boras was going to have to share his cut on that contract with Correa's previous representation. Part of the agreement for Boras taking on Correa is that the first deal would be short so that he wouldn't have to share as much. Boras was not going to give up half of his cut for a 300 million contract. Boras will get his full cut on this contract. There will be no more creativity.... just BIG GUARANTEED BUCKS. The highest bidder will win the day and it will not be the Twins
  12. D.C Twins
    Will Rocco be giving him scheduled days off too.... if so, we should coordinate them with Buxton's scheduled off days
  13. D.C Twins
    yes...yes it does
  14. D.C Twins
    "You can expect Kenta Maeda, Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle, and Joe Ryan all to be in Pete Maki’s Opening Day rotation for 2023" These are the type of assumptions that are going to get us in trouble. Mahle and Maeda are still question marks until they prove their health and after proving their health that they can return to form. Winder needs to prove health. Varland needs to prove that he can maintain success now that the MLB has seen him and has tape to study. SWR needs to prove himself at the MLB level. Ober needs to prove that he can stay healthy and on and on... If we are being honest with ourselves, we only have two clear reliable starters going into next season. If we don't want to be honest with ourselves, then we will have a fantastic offseason full of false hype followed by a disappointing actual season
  15. D.C Twins
    This. Correa was absent on offence during extended stretches when the season was on the line. His final numbers were padded by a scorching hot September when AAA pitchers were up and playing and many teams were playing out the season. He is very talented but I did not see a transcendent player worth 30-40 mil/yr. And yes we have payroll THIS year but we will need to sign pitchers after we lose a bunch to FA next year! Signing Correa this year to a bloated contract will absolutely impact our pitching in the future. Luckily, the Twins FO will figure out the exact dollar amount that will look as high as possible to the public but that he will never take, so it will look like they 'tried super hard to get him!"
  16. D.C Twins
    They should use their money elsewhere for pitching and catcher. They have to trust that an internal longe term option will be available by mid-season and not block them (I'm looking at you Lee and Lewis)
  17. D.C Twins
    In a related story... "The Twins fans double down on their process of finding something else to do outside during Twins home games."
  18. D.C Twins
    This read like an article directly commissioned by the Twins Organization which is disappointing to me coming from TD. Overconfidence, micromanaging and stubbornness have brought many leaders down over the course of history. Flavine are destined to join this group, but will hardly be noteworthy members
  19. D.C Twins
    Camargo absolutely.... the rest... 'yaaaawn'
  20. D.C Twins
    This. I would only add that we probably need more than 10mil of bullpen help... perhaps at the expense of 'settling' for a durable #2 starter instead of and ACE. I'm feel like we would benefit from signing an above average outfielder. Buxton often hurt, Kepler disappears on offence, Larnach is not established, Gordon admirable replacement but better as super utility. Our current outfield is sketchy at best if we are being honest with ourselves. Catcher is a huge hole... no question. Overall, I just don't see us being in some luxury position where we have money to spend 'but very few true gaps'...... I see lots of holes.

    Analytics should be one factor that instructs decision making. Analytic output only can factor in what is inputted. The intangibles of player emotional state, fatigue, and current focus cannot be factored in. Every nuance of in game situations cannot be factored in real time. You simply cannot make all your decisions based on analytics in advance and leave out a large amount of real time data from your eyes.
  22. D.C Twins
    Alas, the fact that this is a topic of discussion shows how far we are from being a true contender
  23. D.C Twins
    If the desire is to build a championship team, then no, no it is not OK to bring back Pagan. If the desire is to try and save face for the FO and/or tread water for yet another year, then sure have at it and bring him back. But, if they do, they need to understand that they are answering their own question about where all the fans went
  24. D.C Twins
    Yep.... but it will take another listless leadership season to push things to the brink... Baldelli will be gone during or at the end of next season... and that will be a start
  25. D.C Twins
    I look forward to Lee rising to MLB and Miranda maturing into something special next year!
