Can they sell now ?

The team? Seems as if they’re valuing the franchise like people over-value stuff on Facebook marketplace

.698 OPS, good for 21st in MLB

Tonkin, Topa were easy choices over Henriquez. 

Really stupid. I mean, they traded FOR Henriquez. He had performed reasonably well in the show. Big arm.

Yeah I remember now. I was livid when they designated Henriquez and kept Tonkin.

I need to get some Rocco insight.

No.  No you don't.

[S Bart]

Rocco should run for office. He sounds like a politician.

Gotta be diplomatic.  Can't just come out and say, "over half these guys are not MLB caliber bats."

He'd fit right in. Can't manage a sneeze at a pepper fest.

Just keep chalking up the losses. Okay with me!

I hear that Minnesota will have a Governor and Senate election in 2026.  And THAT is as far into politics as I'm going on this site.

Agree...but he simply must have to think of the jargon to use. With these losses..

Maybe bring in your former SD governor to manage

Rocco would be a worst politician.  He would check on his excel spreadsheet for his political decisions.

Without going too much farther into the weeds.  At least it wouldn't be boring. 😉

Exactly. He's mastered the art of talking a lot, but saying nothing.

I’m not as versed in the various roster rules as some, but was there anyway to keep him around even if he wasn’t on the big league roster? 25 years old throwing nearly 100 mph. Feels like that’s a guy you don’t give up on when you have actual bums still on the roster.

Am I mis-remembering things?  Wasn’t Ronny topping out at about 93-95 with the Twins???

Losses will get a higher draft choice.  Won't get rid of Rocco.

I just don't want success for this owner or manager.  Also, if the Twins want to bring back Baldelli after what is going to be a 90-100 loss season, they will pay the consequences next year.

SELL!!!

He's actually a pretty decent 4th OFer, but what good does he do this team?

What good does he do this team , we trade him for a qualified 4th outfielder at a cheaper cost ...

Bader has been a plus fielder , but trading him and others makes the most sense , I believe there could be a mutual option for 10 million for 2026 , but if its picked up and he is just a defensive player , people will squawk that hes making to much money , just like they do with Vazquez , I'll take Vazquez defense and smarts anyday over jeffers  but Vazquez coukd be traded too ...

Likely 41-46 after today. 9 games before ASG - Rays, Cubs, Pirates.

Thoughts on record at the break? Keep in mind our winning percentage has been around .360 lately. 

46-50, book it!

This is unwatchable baseball  and the radio isn't any better with motor mouth rattling on ...

I'm going swimming in the nice warm water of the lake  to relax  ... 

Festa has gotten better as the game goes on ...

See ya tomorrow  ...

Three runs in the first...maybe he needed an opener?

3 games of listening to Span is 2 and 1/2 too many for me.

He's very knowledgable and very hard to listen to.

Then the Pohlads get roasted for being cheap. Kiersey is cheap and a 4th outfielder.

Bader is one of few bright spots on this years club. I'll admit to being jealous of his hair........
