The team has a new bullpen piece. Cody Laweryson had his contract selected. Topa to the IL. Welcome to the big leagues Cody!

Not funny but perhaps hypocritical.  Harmon Killebrew.  Has Harm and Kill in his name and was seemingly a nice and rather reserved man.

If he is a Twins player, he should be capable of pitching in the 9th inning lopsided game.

Abel wasn't given much of a chance even in a lost season. 1 start, 1 bullpen appearance then sending him back to AAA. Meanwhile we've given DFA castoffs like Brooks Kriske 12 appearances, Genesis Cabrera 10 appearances, Thomas Hatch 8 appearances, and Noah Davis 4 appearances with disastrous results. 

Total system failures  ...

That's our wiz kid falvey  ...

I know this has been hashed to death so far... My prediction is Joe Ryan traded and Pablo Lopez stays to lead us out of the depths of hell we're currently in. 

I think Pablo is more necessary to the long term health of this team than Joe. And I love Joe.

Concur. I think Lopez is better prepared mentally to lead a team after it bottoms out. Joe doesn't give the impression of wanting to be a leader. He wants to contribute on good teams.

Probably smartest move is to trade Joe next July unless we find ourselves doing unexpectedly well.

"Oil Can Boyd"....a good pitcher (although he did get drunk during a World Series game and was  locked down in the manager's officer due to it)...then there are the borderline actual little known players such as Rusty Kunts, Dick Pole  Charlie Furbish.. 

Until he was good, whoever could take a guy named Rollie Fingers seriously..

I don't know if it will end well but I'm ready to cheer on a team without the gag artists wearing 38, 9 and 47 in 2026.

38 as a full time DH I want to see before giving up on him... 9 and 47 yep, let them be some other team's problem.

But the salary for Lopez is reasonable but significant  for the twins payroll , which direction do you really think they will go , what's your gut tell you  , as much as I think your right in keeping Lopez for veteran leadership , they way this organization works or doesn't work , I think it will be Lopez  , but Ryan could demand a trade if he's unhappy and that would or could change the complexion of the rotation  ...

That might give the Twins an extra 2-3 wins, but probably not worth the potential disruption he causes by continuing to be on this losing team. He's been pretty clear since the ASG about welcoming a trade out of here.

M starting to think Keaschall may need to DH occasionally. He's not Julien rough. But it's making the pitchers work a lot harder.

My gut screams to me that Joe Ryan demands a trade out of here this winter...

It's been a pretty good game so far but I think Patzky needs to buy some insurance  ...
