FanGraphs released their 2025 projections and they have the Twins winning the AL Central with 84 wins. The Tigers and Royals are right behind them with the Guardians somehow projected for 78 wins.
I can practically hear the Pohlads hoisting their “Pre-Season Division Champs” flag since the freshly Juan Soto’d Mets have only a 0.5% better chance of winning their division.
My hope is that he has a relatively good season and the Twins can flip him to a contender at the trade deadline for a half-decent prospect. He could have a role on a good team as a defensive replacement/pinch-runner who could start once a week or so to give someone a day off.
BREAKING: The Miami Heat are finalizing a deal to send Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/82mWHKCnVM
As an unabashed Dubs fan, I am like "what the hell?"
The trade is bad, the contract much worse.
At the same time, my feeling on Wigs is that he was a really good third option on a team that didn't have a second. Slo-Mo was a nice rotation piece. Schroeder annoys the heck out of me and wasn't a great fit, but is a good player.
Jimmy Buckets is getting paid.
And clearly the Dubs wanted one more shot with Steph and Draymond. I don't know that Butler can be the kind of heavy minutes wingman and premier on-ball defender that Klay was in his prime. I guess we are going to find out.

Which means the Guardians will somehow win 95 games and the division.
I was thinking the same thing 😆

I don’t know about Skyline specifically, since I ate elsewhere, but I love Cincinnati-style chili. Four-way bean, please.
Twins stay busy this
offseasonmonthweek by signing Harrison Bader.Could be this year's candidate for the Manuel Margot award.
Well...
I didn't mean it that literally!
Whoop whoop.
Another bargain bin signing with no upside.

welp, looks like a randle trade is out. will get a few weeks without him gumming up the works at least.
He's going to pick up that option and the KAT trade will look even dumber.
haha speaking of trades
