I love cricket -- Go Sam Konstas! Happy Birthday, Aaron.

When do Winter Meltdown tickets go on sale and where?

second also happy 70th AayyeEron

After Austin Hays called the Orioles Pride Day a ‘Night of Evil’, I think there is zero chance the Twins are interested in him.

Whoever the new owners are they are not going to want Derek Falvey having his fingerprints on player acquisitions or transactions if they have any sense.

I think also why I like the Dodgers stars is that they always seem to come through in the big moments that they get paid big to come through in. That's why you're also rooting for the Mets. Alonso coming through clutch, Lindor coming in clutch. When the highest paid stars of the highest payroll teams actually produce in the big clutch moments that they get paid for, it hits different than say, Yankees with a high payroll but seeing their big stars like Judge slump in the biggest moments.

Baldelli would have pinch hit for Freeman in the 10th inning tonight with a right handed batter.

Yanks and Dodgers will get the biggest viewer ship but the Orioles-Phillies would have been fun.

DefCon 5 issued to any or all military branches means peacetime military readiness, DefCon 1 issued to any or all military units means nuclear war is either imminent or already taking place.

Charlotte Triplets right?

They do not own the stadium !!! Fricken liar !!

Let Ohtani continue his success for 10 more years before you say he is better than the Babe. He was a better pitcher than Ohtani has been, (record for most consecutive shutout innings in World Series play from 1914-1961) and greatest slugger with 714 homers. He had more homers in a single season than most teams COMBINED.

I wish the Twins would finally find a true lead off hitter, and try to find a stable lineup......and not pinch hit starting in the 5th innings.

Listening to Aaron talk about business is hard to listen to.

The Reds just hired Terry Francona as manager. I bet there’s not a single Twins fan who would prefer Rocco over Terry.

A J Hinch is a difference maker. If he manages the Twins they are in the playoffs. Baldelli is clueless.

I skip to parts where John isnt laughing his head off.......just hard to find them.

Major chokers. This team absolutely should stay home.

The pain in your chest might be something else.

It finally happened, absolutely and definitively: the worst loss of the season.

The Twins ownership and Falvey are playing a shell game with assets. At the end of this season: Kepler comes of the book for 10 million, Margot off for 10 million, Farmer for 6.25 million, DeSclafani 4 million, Vazquez could be a 10 million salary dump. That’s about 43 million they could spend in free agency next year if you keep the 2025 payroll the same as the reduced 2024 payroll. That’s not even counting Santana’s contract which ends this year and Castro (because his salary will probably double or triple because he’s an All Star and his salary will be jacked up in arbitration so he will probably be traded).

The Tigers deserve the wild card spot but the Twins will make the playoffs because they will sweep the horrible Marlins at Target Field.

And Cleveland is doing all this without 3 starting pitchers and their All-Star left fielder so we can’t moan about injuries on the Twins as an excuse.

How long before the Twins bring up Varland for the bullpen. He couldn’t be any worse than Richards, Okert, Henriquez or Thielbar.

I'm gonna say that would be a yes on the sando-and keep them coming.

Can someone give John some water.....can hear him coughing in the background.

Man, for pocket change the Pohlads could have such a better reputation while doing their basic service to their fellow upper midwesterners. And of course, it was their greed that fucked up the TV deal in the first place. Clowns.

Great insight guys!

My favorite twins podcast

Aaron, Buxton didn't go on the IL a month or so ago. It was May 3rd - 10 weeks ago. And he's been back from the IL for 2 full months.

Knock the pubes out before the show for GD's sake John.

Love me some Gleeman and the Geek!!!

The Marlins made the playoffs last season as the NL 5th seed; they lost to the Phillies in the wild card round. Also, Kim Ng was not fired but resigned after effectively being demoted.

I have to skip through the parts where John is laughing his head off, so I miss about a third.

Noice

Screw bally sports north

Montgomery is not worth the asking price.

Snell and Montgomery are not worth the money they are looking for. Hence yet they are still on the free agent market.

Aaron, your comments and your insight on the incentives involved at the end of this podcast are right on the money. My only addition is that I think you could find something personally fulfilling by taking your insight to a more analytic/publishable level by getting your degree, in economics or statistics. You definitely have the gift. And I think there is value if you can take your incisive insight on how things works and explain it even better. I think it would work for you as well and expand your opportunities. Not that you are doing poorly now. Love the pod. Thank you for the effort.

What confuses me about looking to trade Polo or Kepler in the context of reducing payroll and free agency: there really aren't any free agents that aren't wildly out of the Twins level who are obviously better than either Polo or Kepler, and certainly none I'd see significant value in having more years of. Trade them for value if you think it can improve the big league team, sure, but talking about how it clears payroll in a year where there really isn't much to buy without specifying targets (should be easy, it's a shallow pool) just feels like saying stuff just to say stuff. And a Gleeman favorite, I follow about half the league fairly closely between NL and AL, and every single fanbase and media pool is doing this exact same thing. It's a dull FA outside of the single greatest player to ever live and a different Japanese pitcher.

A wise man, Richard Flair.

Castro is an eye sore in center field that game vs bluekays was so bad

For some reason when I have listened to the last few episodes on Spotify they seem to lock up mid sentence around the hour mark and I haven't found a work around in the app for this. Thanks for posting on RUclips so I can listen at work and get the whole thing without creating undue attention commenting aloud on my appreciation of the Spotify situation. Go Twins!
