The Twins miss out on the Ohtani sweepstakes. They had the "small market" box checked off, though there was a bit more distance between them and Japan compared to the West Coast teams.
Though we'll likely never know, I wonder to what degree their past handling of Nishioka (as well as Park) played into the situation. They probably never were actually in the running, but I could see those past case studies causing a quick axe against an option that wasn't appealing to begin with.
Like I said yesterday, I don't think the Twins are missing out on the Ohtani sweepstakes, I think they're taking good advantage of it.
They missed out, so now they're taking advantage of it.
I still feel it's a step up from what I would've expected from the Twins of old, who lacked the vision to re-calibrate their thinking when things went south.
I'm in full agreement on this point.
when things went south.
Or in this case, west.
Rangers are still in it. Maybe Spooky knows something
AMR, we were both early today. I was surprised by how many birds were perched in that bush.
I didn't see you. I couldn't find the one I was looking for.
I came from the north. I don't have anything particularly interesting for you at the moment and I wasn't sure how accessible the pockets of your winter jacket are, so I didn't approach.
I went to Whole Foods to get a slice of pizza for lunch, and there were still a ton of birds in the bushes at that point.
Getting called into work at , going outside and shoveling snow when its +6 degrees was not my ideal start to a morning.
Time for a nap.

The above is FZ, seems I jacked up the code... derp.

oops, nevermind.
Allegedly
I remember it happening very differently...
Non-apology apology.
I spend a good portion of my business hours tuned into the political sphere ... I'd say your 'thoughts' are not without merit.
Oh, no doubt.
Twins Winter Caravan won't be going to South Dakota at all this year and will only stop in Fargo in North Dakota.
You'd think they'd learn. Their refusal to reach further West already cost them a shot at Ohtani...
