If you plan on going to a Saints game this year.
Luzinski, Balboni, Kruk and Hrbek all coming out of retirement to sign with the Saints.If you plan on going to a Saints game this year.
I didn't catch any of the games, but looking at the box scores noticed Julien got zero at bats against three right handed starters.
I haven't heard that he is injured. Am I missing something?
Thanks.I didn't hear most of the broadcast, but it was pretty apparent in Spring Training that Wallner is going to be the primary lead off hitting.
I assume that they like his OB% and want to get him to the plate more often, which is the default for most teams decision as to pencil in the #1 spot.
Why start him then. Paddock had plenty of rest. Get Ober to full strength.Makes a little more sense
Once the wolves and Wild get taken out.......we will be begging for football season.Twins get swept away in St Louis. Horrible start to this long season.
Minnesota Sports, that's why!Why start him then. Paddock had plenty of rest. Get Ober to full strength.
It actually increased from last year.Maybe they didn't rightsize the payroll enough during the offseason.

Mostly because the contract extension for Pablo Lopez kicked in and Harrison Bador was picked up for over $6M.Couldn't have been because we signed Ty France.
But why would you start him when you could easily push him back to Tuesday?Makes a little more sense
If the best offers are shorting them multiple hundreds of millions of dollars from what the Orioles received ($1.7B), they are just going to sit and wait. Probably until the next labor agreements are hashed out along with national/regional broadcast deals.And the Pohlads should take whatever the best offer is and run. Fan interest in this team is as low as it's ever been. Attendance and TV #'s are going to be awful. The value isn't getting any higher.
I'm not sure it will, at least not enough to make it worth holding onto and racking up another $100 million in losses. MLB is in trouble. The TV ratings aren't yet at the bottom. ESPN is bailing. I doubt any new deal to sell the regional rights to Amazon will do more than get them back even with where they were 2-3 years ago with the RSN's. The labor stoppage could be long and ugly. And the Pohlads are deeply unpopular to the point that it is actively hurting attendance and TV ratings.If the best offers are shorting them multiple hundreds of millions of dollars from what the Orioles received ($1.7B), they are just going to sit and wait.

While the value may not get any higher short term, it likely will over 5-10 years. Unless their other business ventures are tanking to a point they can't handle additional Twins debt, I can easily seeing them pull the franchise from the market just as the Angels & Nationals did.

I'd take $1.5 billion in 2025 before hoping to get $1.7 in 2028.
