MLB (Non Mariners) Off Season News

Evidently the Twins are for sell for 1.7 billion. So I’m wondering exactly what it would take for M’s ownership to sell the majority stake of the team

Its alright to disagree, and we're going to disagree on this one... because it is the norm, we need to be doing it, or we are never going to compete (unless and until they implement a Salary Cap & Salary Floor... which, if the stupid contracts that we are now seeing don't lead to that, nothing ever will).

Vlad wouldn't be at the top of my list to throw that money at, but the players that I would (Really, the only players I would put over him, based on age & talent are Shohei [who is 30], Bobby Witt Jr. [24, but only has 1 elite season...], Aaron Judge [this comes with a bit of a worry, as he's 32, not 25], Soto [26... probably the best direct comparison, other than maybe Yordan], Yordan [27], Mookie [but he's also 32, and athleticism is a HUGE part of his game] & probably Gunnar Henderson [23]), aren't available.

Bobby Witt Jr would be my first choice anytime. His overall game is unbelievable. Love watching that guy play. Gunnar would be my 2nd choice for a big contract. Another guy that plays the right way.

But I agree a cap is needed. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, but it would be the best thing for the sport. A cap with a ceiling and a floor. I see MLBPA is going after the non-spending teams as they should. I will always say sports are the fans game and owners are just the managers of it. The cities support it, and owners owe everything to them and they have they have the duty to make them competitive.

lol crap, you always post stuff in between replies. So when I scroll back up I think we are addressing it

Then I’ll reply back to this one. Wonder if this is where ARod’s group tries to go.

Though it does seem like the Twins should be one the least valuable franchises in the sport now that the A’s are out of Oakland
