Sorry, ladies. Movement over.
The new manager will only be the Twins' fourth since 1986. Mollie definitely got a shorter leash than Kelly or Gardenhire but he was a holdover from the old Terry Ryan regime. I assume Falvey and Levine want their own guy in the dugout.
It looks like a pretty good job. Minnesota was only 8 games under .500, play in a weak division, have some young talent and a lot of money coming off the books. Sano and Buxton are obvious bounce back candidates.
Whereas I think they're obvious bust candidates.I posted this in the main MLB thread. This ought to be one of the better positions available this off-season.

Right now he's the only healthy catcher on the squad, and he almost got decapitated by a broken bat last night.How can Mitch Garver not start every game. That guy is a beast!
Best show in town.The twins are more exciting to watch now than they have been in the past decade. Everything seems to be clicking, and they look like the real deal.
Just how good area they? 90+ wins? Is their SP good enough to take them deep in postseason.The twins are more exciting to watch now than they have been in the past decade. Everything seems to be clicking, and they look like the real deal.
I'm too jaded to really trust it. But I think they need relief help more than anything.Just how good area they? 90+ wins? Is their SP good enough to take them deep in postseason.

I think 90 wins is realistic. The postseason is obviously a long ways away. The starters have pitched pretty well so far.Just how good area they? 90+ wins? Is their SP good enough to take them deep in postseason.
I've watched just about every game this year. Their bullpen is smoke and mirrors right now (sans Rogers). They could benefit from a couple more quality arms. SP is solid, but can't seem to go more than 5-6 innings. (of course that is most of baseball)I'm too jaded to really trust it. But I think they need relief help more than anything.
Kick your heels three times and believeGetting pretty nervous that I'm going to start believing in this time. Really trying not to.
Yes, June 15 vs KC retiring his number.Is there going to be a Joe Mauer day?
Wish I would of gotten in at those odds. Best record in baseball as of today.Got them at 25-1 to win WS. Could have bought lower if I got in before season started as they were > 50-1
Hou scares me. Think they might be better than their 2017 version.Wish I would of gotten in at those odds. Best record in baseball as of today.
My son and his friends went down to the stadium today, only to find out the game was sold out.Gopher State said:Nice pitching today by Gibson. another homerun to boot. Nice to see the game sold out today, maybe Twins fans getting behind this team.
Makes for a smoother transition to beer league softball.Gotta be honest, twins have a lotta porkers on their team.
I would think bull pen help. Love to see them get Greene from the Tigers, but hard to trade in your division.Which arms are they looking at to acquire?
I heard Kimbrel wants three years at 10m per year.The Twins are going to need a bullpen upgrade if they want to take advantage of this season. I'd rather get it now and sign Kimbrel than have to give up prospects to get it later. Offer him 2 years/whatever he wants. Windows close quickly, and 2 years won't screw them in the future as badly as giving up a top prospect for like, whoever the Mets closer is would.
Fine with me.I heard Kimbrel wants three years at 10m per year.
