Wasn’t that tried and rejected by owners? Revenue sharing was part of that and the owners said no because they don’t want to open their books

I don’t think it can be either/or. It can’t be one without the other, imo. So my answer is neither or both. But neither will happen mostly because owners are who they are.

I’d say Martin has been a big plus, imo.

I think they will see .500 again this season, but they won’t spend much time there or finish there

Well, maybe not. They had a BP game on Sunday and still won. But yes, the broader point is we don’t have a good BP.

A new coach isn’t suddenly going to change a pitcher with not enough talent into one with talent. The problem is our BP is not good because of the players not because of the coach.

Or not, depending on one’s perspective

Despite his words in the past, he’s here, that’s it, Buxton has made more recent comments of potentially agreeing to a trade if this team wasn’t serious about contending. We all might want to keep him, he may want to stay. But without the commitment from ownership, I don’t know anyone who wants to stay when they have opportunities to win elsewhere. People talk about extending players … Ryan is gone, so trade him. Every SP on this team is gone at their earliest if ownership cannot make commitments to field a good team around them. Honestly, if I could, I’d keep the SP, Buxton, spend money on a 3 good BP arms and one good bat (à la Nelson Cruz), then bring up the youngsters for the rest. But, ownership is committed to bumbling meager spending. We aren’t going to see a winning team again as long as they are in charge.

We posted within seconds, so I merged them.

Sad, just sad. I’m going to the movies instead of watching the game.

But that didn’t happen this time. And I’m able to react to posts.

I noticed earlier that when I posted something, and saw it post, it looked like it hadn’t as the body of my post was still in the reply box

You know every season we have a ‘Where are they now?’ thread in the Twins Talk forum that is regularly updated. Check it out. It’s not a ‘one off’ as this is. It’s regularly updated and even goes further back into history of ‘once a Twin’.

Yeah, this is the ambiance at Wrigley. It might be iconic, and is worth a one-time visit, but it’s a dump.

That is very optimistic to think the Twins are going to do that. I’ll believe it when I see it. But, yes, that would be the way to go.
