They link up with stuff like Fansided and rinky-dink local sites like Bring Me The News to try and drive traffic. MN Sport News is about 20 rungs below Doogie on the media reliability ladder.


The original article is probably ''true'', in the loosest sense of the word. If the Twins want to spend significantly more $$ this offseason, I'm not sure they need to do it on another Left handed bat in the outfield, even one who is a significant upgrade.

Because Buxton is going to get injured for a significant amount of time.

Fuck the Pohlads, fuck the Twins.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

3 year, $126 million extension for Zack Wheeler. That is crazy money.

At his age, for that money, I think most people were fine letting him (and Maeda) take a walk.
Replacing those guys with friggin Anthony Descalfani (and nothing else) is the big problem.

100%

I'm really hoping Paddack finds a way to stay healthy and helps solidify the middle of the rotation. I'd be happy with 130-140 IP.

They don’t stop reloading. They haven’t had incredible success, but at least their ownership is aggressive

That could be scary.

At least he's chasing a ring instead of chasing money. For the time being.

Now just trade Correa for Snell. Saves money in the long run and gives you a better chance to win this year.

The Giants pulled the rip cord when they saw Correa's medicals. I doubt they want him at a year older.
