Harper or Machado?

Who'd you pay $30M per if you could have one?

I don't love either at 30 mil, but I think I'd take Manny.

Nope. Not in this market with these owners. Filling out the roster with quality players would be a very difficult task if one player is taking up 30% of your payroll.

I'd take either one of these guys. Both are superstars, and we currently have 0 superstars on this team.

I'd sign both and roll the dice.

Where is this Machado you post about? Never heard of it.....

Harper WAY over Machado. I HATE Harper too but he is a better player.

Twins would never sign either

it's kind of fun to think about how exciting for the local fan base if they did sign harper though. you can almost think they could do it if you hope and dream hard enough.

I think Machado has more value since he can play SS, but I think Harper is the better player.

No chance it's the CWS.

My guess is Dodgers or Yankees.

He already knows where he's going.

Who needs him! The Pohlad pocket protectors in here will say "Cost too much" and you "You don't give a guy that kind of contract"

Meanwhile the Twins will sign some "Bargain bin" guy's and we will here "I really liked him" and "He had a good 5 game stretch once"

Get ready for more Lynns, Lomos, OdorRizzles of the world.

It's reality. It's not *wanting* to be that way but rather knowing how the Pohlad's would run the team.

White Sox are interested in both but Twins aren't?

It's the Twins.... I would love to get Harper or Machado. They may be cocky pricks but we need a little bit of that.

competition from the other squad across town is spurring them on.

White Sox get a meeting with Machado but nothing for the Twins.

Hell, I was interested in a Wilson Ramos reunion too. Nope.

Will the payroll be between 50-60 mil?

Patience, they have to wait until it gets closer to Twinsfest at the end of January so they can announce that we've agreed to terms with Denard Span and Fransisco Liriano and have added Pat Mears and Carl Pavano as special assistants of baseball operations. No need to get anybody excited before then!

I surprised the Twins are not after both.

How many teams are after one of the guys, let alone both?

The Twins had a lot of money to spend.... true or false!?

Neither guy would come here but if they did I would lean toward Manny. I just think Harper is so much hype.

Both guys put up equally good numbers but I just feel like Manny would be better fit for MN.

Would have to move Sano to 1st.

Honestly if they were to splash for a guy, i would prefer getting an Ace pitcher... Doesnt matter because no ones is coming to MN. We need to grow within.

I would take back Dozier on league minimum.

How are these two still available? Absolutely, the owners are colluding in an attempt to reset the market.
