Should be obvious by now to both the Front office and MLB staff that the bullpen personel needs a bit of an overhaul. Twins are 29th out of 30 in strikeout rate by the entire bullpen. 14 different relievers have been used. Infield defense ranks 26th in MLB. The AAA team doesn't look like it will give much of a boost from the bullpen but can help the Twins on defense, Especially short stop. There likely needs to be a couple trades to boost the bullpen. The starting staff and the hitting has been decent enough to win games. If the bullpen isn't fixed soon, the curtain likely has already dropped on the 2026 season.

Keaschall, Lee and Lewis are abysmal players with the glove, but the Twins have used defense extras to spot fix that problem in close games, in the past.  

It would be nice if they brought Kreidler up, sent lewis and Keaschall down to St.Paul but that -  Might - improve their bats but using Julien as an example , the iron gloves rarely go away.

It took a long time before Julien's gaping whole at Second was removed and as you said, St.Paul has no players better, with the exception of Kreidler, and maybe Culpepper.

In the next month things might change but right now pitching is the major problem so glove work is probably not a big deal on the FO's mind.
