Rocco will screw it up somehow  , he still hasn't mastered Manfred ball ...

It will begin in 2026...Rocco will not be around. They will not renew his contract

They renewed Rocco contract 4 months ago.  They will have to fire him AND pay him next year. 

Remember they cheap.  Will they fire and pay?

Um, they already did.

Did they hold a press conference or do anything public to confirm the resigning?

Now that ABS challenge is implemented for 2026 what are your thoughts?

I like the new strategy it brings to the game. Do you take your challenge early in the game? Wait until the later innings? I imagine every team is going to treat it differently. Will be interesting to see the results

Simply a move to keep Manfred in the news. If the technology is accurate, use it all the time. What has happened on occasions (too many times) in the minor leagues is that when a team runs out of challenges the zone gets bigger.

MLB thinks these little moves will draw fans to the game. Baseball fans don't care about umpires or Manfred, they want to see good baseball.

Something to consider is that often these challenges/ ball and strike calls are determined on pitches a fraction of an inch either way. Losing a challenge by a hair and then having a strike called on a pitch 3-5 inches out of the zone happens. Some will call that strategy.

FWIW, I'm fine with the umpires calling strikes and balls. However, that ship has sailed. I would prefer just using the ABS system. Eff the challenge b.s.

Question of this Game:

If you could rapture one player off this team, who would it be?

Im sure you meant current team but I'm going outside the box and saying all the current twins that are in the  hall of fame ...

I wish they would hold a press conference to confirm he was resigning

as opposed to re-signing.

At the end of the season, it will be interesting to see what Twins traded in July have flourished with their new teams. I understand that Bader and Duran have done well. Correa boosted his average about 20 points. ...some are on the injury list.

A serious organization would have Pereda getting ABs to see what is/isn't there for next year.  TC gives ABs to  Vasquez.  

Sounds like some thing Baldelli would do, LOL!

I hope Vazquez can get 4 hits , might take 6 games to do it though  , can't believe Gasper isn't sent packing to be honest ( back up catcher , jeffers probably will DH the next 6 games  )   , pereda on taxi squad , what a crock  ...

Defense just doesn't matter with their thinking ......

Vazquez has 1 hit so far , ill take the single ...
