Just hope we can finish over .500!

Man I'm hoping for the complete opposite.  I want them to shut Lopez down for the season and lose as many games as possible.  Get the highest draft pick they can.

What if by some miracle twins go on a hot streak-make playoffs after today? 

Major League III-Uff Da.

They keep a naked picture of Joe Pohlad in the locker room and can only cover it as they win.

You're expecting home runs?

Here’s a way-too-early mock draft for 2026

If anyone is interested in what next season's MLB draft looks like. Some very good looking position players at the top of the draft.

Just read it. They had the Twins picking third before today.....another college SS!

Twins received LHP Garrett Horn from the Rangers in the Danny Coulombe trade. He was rated as the #25 prospect in Texas’ farm system by Baseball America.

Hahahaha look what the Giants got for Tyler Rogers who is also a rental and similar stats and compare it to this. Rogers also makes 5.25M and Coulombe only 3M. FO is not even trying, they know they're all gone

I miss the days where trade deadline deals were relatively scarce and the teams that played in October were virtually the same as the teams that broke camp in April.

The Twins have traded utilityman Willi Castro to the Cubs.

Anyone else think Rocco regrets signing an extension? Corey Provus is gonna walk in and demand a trade. 

Make this Provus trade happen TC.

Remember when this organization somehow allowed rob Antony to make a trade?

Toronto looking at Jax,  Red Sox looking at Ryan

[thelanges5]

🇫🇷 and Vazqy are the only free agents left!

[notoriousgod71]

Boston trying to land Ryan.

Anthony or no deal.

[jaimedude]

If I were Vazquez or France I would be begging to be traded.  

[Hrbowski]

Hearing Ryan deal is close to being done SMH

[Patzky]

Willi to the Cubs

I actually like Horn's chances to be a good RP if this regime is still here in 2 years.

They can go right ahead and beg their way into a DFA.

I think Twins fans are begging to trade Vasquez and France. They have zero value.

I'd consider that. Otherwise there's no reason to trade Ryan.

Unless the whole plan here is to go scorched earth on the franchise because you know you're getting the boot very soon.

I'd still rather have Ryan......but Anthony would have to be the minimum I take.

This "core" was never going to win a world series.

Blow it ALL up...new owners then come in...play the prospects for a year and see what you have.  Then start spending money on free agents.

EZ.

In all seriousness this will be best!!! Can’t do any worse. Need young blood and hopefully exciting baseball!!! If you’re going to lose at least be competitive!!! Fans will respect that and go to target field!

I fully expect the Pohlads to announce they won't sell the team now that they got out from under the Correa contract
