It’s been this way for 10-11 months now.

He was the Twins premier signing this offseason!!

He didn’t make it to waivers, but yes. They definitely should have tried if they didn’t.

The only truly awful contract is Benintendi, and unfortunately that is going to around for another 3.8 seasons. I guess you could lump Moncada in there, but none of the other contract are really all that bad.

Regarding the bolded. I HIGHLY doubt that is the case. Its obvious he's no favorite, but he'll absolutely get another chance.

Right, and while I thought we'd more more low to mid 90s, 100 losses can't really be considered "historically poor" since we literally lost 100 games last season.

TBF, not many people expected this level of suck. They also wouldn't be quite so terrible had Robert, Moncada and Eloy not gotten hurt the first week. Its fair to expect those guys to miss time throughout the season, but all right away? Even the naysayiest of naysayers wouldn't have honestly guessed that while being serious. I expected this team to float a few to several games below ,500 for awhile, at least pre-Cease trade. I expected improved defense and cleaner baseball. I hoped Robert's 2023 health would continue into 24, and we'd see a really nice contract year from Yoan. Obviously non of that has happened, but I don't think many people pre-season truly expected this to be an historically poor club.

Wouldn't Pham be taking Leone's 40 man spot in that scenario? I believe Clevinger in starting in AAA this weekend (maybe even today).

I doubt Sox will go a pitcher short and a 5-man bench. Still could play 60-day IL games with Davis Martin, if they wanted to burn the service time.

I am having a real hard time finding 47 wins on the schedule. Especially after anyone of value sans Robert (and maybe Crochet) is moved in June/July.

I think he'll be up tomorrow. They've already said he's playing in AAA today. I am sure he'll handshake away the optout for a day. Mentioned this in the fresh blood thread, but with Fletcher sitting 2 straight days against RHP and Pham playing CF in AAA, I actually would put my money on the Sox sending Fletcher down and keeping all the vets. Would have to find the 40 man space for Pham somewhere other than Pillar or Grossman tho, which could get interesting. Watch the Sox DFA Sosa to keep all these washed vets.

With Fletcher sitting two straight days, Pham playing CF in AAA today and seemingly set to come up tomorrow, it looks like this could in fact play out.

The twins have been simply terrible this year. Sox were just what the doctor ordered.

Benintendi fucks it again in LF. I’ve stated here several times last couple weeks that Sox need to stick with him due to their future commitments to him, but he’s making it tougher to justify by the day. He’s just an awful OF.

I mean, he has a 3.86 FIP, 2.86 xERA, 34 SO/6 BB and is 4th in the league in Ks and likely will lead the league after tonight. I think he's pretty good.
