One Bold Prediction for Every Month Left in the Twins’ Season

No - at least as I understand it, he signed through ‘27 for $13M next year. Twins can decline the option. They’d either exercise the option or trade him prior……. I guess he could decline to play and sit but the Twins have control through ‘27.

If they didn’t have control in ‘27 there would be no question he would be traded by the deadline……….that’s not been the discussion here ……… “should Team trade this summer or in the offseason….?” is the debate on TD…… with some hoping for an extension.

Fangraphs and BB Reference have him as a free agent in 2027.  What source claims he is signed for $13M next year?

I think the implication was the Twins would almost have to make a market-correct offer to the two players.

But that's not happening until after the season..... So no chance.

I thought we were talking about Jeffers.  That explains the confusion.

When they avoided Arbitration this year they agreed to $6.1M for ‘26 & for ‘27, his last year of possible arbitration, before becoming a UFA in ‘28. He has a $100k buyout if Twins don’t pick up his option……… scheduled to make $13M for ‘27.

Google Joe Ryan contract.

Sorry.  I thought we were talking about Jeffers.  My bad.

I don't know if these are bold or not, but here's mine...

• June prediction: TD has at least six articles on the pros and cons of trading/extending Joe Ryan.
• July prediction: TD has at least nine articles on the pros and cons of trading/extending Joe Ryan.
• August/September prediction: TD has at least four articles on why they should have or shouldn't have traded/extended Joe Ryan.

And as a little bonus If you read all nineteen of those articles out loud in front of a mirror, Joe Ryan actually appears in your living room to explain his spin rate.

I also thought you were talking about Jeffers.
