If ryan is smart he wont settle for a single dollar less and eventually forces his way out. No way would i give the pohlads a deal and take even a dime off my demands.
The morbid irony here is that they have a player at peak value, and now they have to go on the record to disparage his play so they can save less than 0.5% of their presumed payroll. Then try to trade him to teams that will read everything they said on the record.
I hate when I have a player I really like. And we're unable or unwilling to keep him on the team. I just want to have a team of guys I like and root for them year after year. I want more lifers In my sports worlds. I get they can't all be that way and especially with how fans and the media are nowadays it's dam near impossible. I just wish it was different.
Let me guess, Twins will take this to a hearing over 500k, leading to Ryan requesting a trade before the season starts.
For Ryan’s sake, I hope he goes to good team that values their players.
This concerns me a lot, and the Twins under Falvey have done everything they can to avoid these situations
Arbitration cases are notoriously nasty. Just look at everything Burnes had to say
I dont understand the logic of the Twins at all unless its atrade. Similar occured with Luis Arraez before he was moved 3 weeks after
I don’t think it’s hard to read between the lines here. Ryan wants out, there’s no relationship to salvage.
My guess is they’re going to be significantly apart on numbers and Ryan is going to try and max his $.
edit: The difference is 500k, more petty than I expected.
rightfully so, pohlads have made it clear they have zero problems wasting his career so why would there be any relationship?
wont blame him one second the day he finally forces his way out.
it's a trade. yep just like arraez
Sadly I still strongly suspect this will end up as a trade one way or another, despite all the bs the front office is saying to the contrary.

I hope the Twins lose that arbitration hearing.
Get your bag Joe.

Just, monumentally stupid team management.
I think they’ll reach a deal before going to arbitration, but man this news sets off a bunch of alarms.
