No...but I'm sure we will sign some 4th tier free agent that will get local media to pretend the team is a contender.

Im hearing from a very reliable source that the Twins are in on DeGrom and Rodon. Wink

I am pretty certain ‘Ben Dover’ is a fake account FYI

Being able to buy the blue check is going as well as anyone could have predicted.

Ben Dover is always getting people. You are definitely not alone. Personally I think since it was tweeted from a blue check mark/verified account (although now it just means he paid the $8 a month) that this is now binding. Correa has to stay with the Twins for the next 9 years. ?

Discuss.   

The M hat is atrocious.   Apparently already their top seller.

The M hat reminds me of the Miami Marlins, and that is not a good thing. I am a hat guy, but would never buy the M hat.  The jerseys are ok, although the white Twins one seems too plain to me.

I feel like I’m the only one in the world that isn’t outraged by the M. I still think it’s the weakest link though. I like everything else fine, I was expecting much worse.

I’m loving the “verified” corporations posting. Drug companies losing theoretical billions is well deserved. Pepsi posting “Coke is better” is comedy gold.

If your opinion about any uniform moves beyond minimum caring you need to rethink your life. Walking around in public wearing sports team jerseys is for losers. I like Portillos beef sammies, should I buy their employee uniform and wear it around? No. It’s the exact same thing.

There, I said it.

Do you make your own clothes? You wear (insert company's) clothes. Same thing. 😉

I figured this would hit a nerve. My Eddie Bauer quarter zip is not the same thing as wearing a Justin Jefferson jersey. Not even close.

This new uniform thing has been hyped on every local channel. Kind of pathetic when the most exciting thing that happens for the Twins during the year is unveiling new uniforms.

The M hat his bad. I dunno why that font made it onto the Marlins OR Twins hats but it is bad.

The rest look pretty good.

Oh, good, he's half the reason I watch the team.

The more things change, the more they stay the same with this team.

Albert Einstein: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” And this has been Twins ownership way since 1992…we already won 2 titles, so just focus on making ? going forward…winning is secondary!

Trading Arraez…I’m starting to think I should be thanking Sinclair for not having the Twins, Wild and Wolves available on my provider. It saves me loads of frustration and animosity.

Arraez is pretty much the only asset they have that has any value.  If the Twins had a competent front office, I'd be OK trading him for pitching.  Unfortunately they don't, so ...

I remember reading that Grantland article years ago about it.  The Twins used to have minnesotatwins.com and then MLB found a work around for all teams and the Twins to have mlb.com/twins.  Interesting that they kept trying to get the twins.com domain.

Popped in today to see if they have signed any big name free agent stating pitchers.

 

I’ll stop by again next week.

If you check my history, I likely was the original.  You might need access to the Pride on Ice servers, if they exist.

Yeah, once I thought about it, with his injury history this is most likely the sell high moment for him.

There was no way Twins would have come close to that. To (c) "Friends," THAT line was so far away it was like a dot to the Twins.

That would be a higher AAV than 13/350.
