REPORTS: Twins to Hire Indians’ AGM Derek Falvey As President of Baseball Ops

Looks like Jason McLeod is safe for a bit longer.

I had heard from the start that they weren't going to commit to the kind of resources that McLeod would demand and that if an exec were to bolt for Minnesota it would have been Shiraz Rehman. McLeod is going to get an elite job even if he has to wait a little while.

Wilson Ramos done for the year (and probably a good chunk of 2017) with a torn ACL. That is a huge blow.

Watched it happen live. He jumped for a ball and landed on his right leg and just fell down in pain. The throw should have never went home.

Tebow hit a homer in his first at bat in the instructional league

The Giants simply refuse to let the Cards out of the playoffs.

And the Cards suck so badly that they can't even beat the Reds. They would have only been .5 of a game behind.

No, they'd be tied.

Weiss sitting out Lemahieu is stupid. But, how about DJ. I remember people on this board swearing he wasnt a good player. I always knew this kid could hit.

I had no clue that Dick Enberg did Padres games.

By the way, I'm no White Sox fan but I'm very happy for Rick Renteria. Dude got caught in a situation beyond his control with the Cubs but I think there's a good manager in there just waiting for experience. I don't know if the White Sox will be the place he really thrives or not but he deserves the opportunity.

In other manager news it looks like Walt Weiss is gone, Brad Ausmus is probably gone and I think I'd be surprised if the whole enchilada of La Russa, Stewart and Chip Hale doesn't get blown up as early as today.

Rick will be great as he was with the Cubs. His issue is he has no development to help him out outside of Hahn and Hahn clears stuff thru Williams and Reinsdorf.

Well, that's a different can of worms. I'm just saying I think this guy could be a very good manager, much better than Ventura who is known to be a great guy but not so great at managing. If I were the Sox though I would trade Sale or Quintana to get a couple of young stars and maybe go out an get a Hellickson or someone like that that to eat innings. That's still a decent staff and now with some young bucks. I'm not sure what they're actually going to do though.

Me neither.

They could trade Sale if someone wants to truly be honest and pay a reasonable price as no one is going to pay what he's really worth.

Truthfully I'd probably trade Quintana instead because you could assign value better but he should net you 2 top prospects in or very near the majors and a couple of more not quite as close. I'd say the most likely teams to deal with, whether it's Sale or Quintana, are Houston, LA, Boston and maybe Texas. All have the kind of guys you'd want.

He's an upgrade over Ventura. Calling him "great" is a stretch. He was decent with us. He's definitely an upgrade and would be a good fit if they decide to rebuild -- which they should.

It's not a stretch, he didn't have the horses with him. Is he Joe Maddon? Probably not. Would he have won the Central this year? I think he would have won the NL Central this year.

Q is easier to assign value I agree and I think a reasonable price is two top specs and two up and coming specs. His value is higher but not many can pay what is needed.

In a show of good faith, go get them Cubs. You never know what might happen.

Why does not winning without the horses make him great?
