Did damage in the clubhouse...guess we do ...each to his own...saw him at the ballpark last year...he was rude to a couple of kids which was totally unacceptable.. so..maybe I am jaded...

We have no idea who any of these guys are beyond baseball in the glimpses we get. We only imagine we do. I’ll take the guy that wins games as long as they aren’t breaking laws.

So...I take it that Clemens and bond should not be considered in the HOF?

never 100% proof on them -  yes they should be in ,   Pete Rose also

[jaimedude]

Ryan Jeffers and Trevor Larnach dhould have both been traded at the trade deadline. Neither will likely be back with Twins next season or more.

This is interesting. How did Correa damage the clubhouse? By pushing people to up their games, in contrast to the amazingly placid Rocco?

He made comments  about royce..etc...he also talked but did not walk the way he talked..was not an example...if you disagree fine...my main experience is how he reacted to 2 young kids asking for an autograph politely...I stopped seeing him as a quality person at that point.

Sounds like Rose is being strongly considered..you and I agree..by the way, you mean rog or kody

Comments about Royce? Royce has woefully underperformed while carrying himself like he's a gift, and has been notoriously resistant to taking feedback. Harsh comments were probably needed to get through to him. Even then, Royce lived at Correa's house this past winter and trained with him, so he probably didn't take them as hard as you seem to be doing.

LK needs help during off season on defense even in RF....backing up on catches etc. Is not ideal..regardless...he is hitting and he came in as an infielder at start of season.  Needs practice in the outfield

Left field -   has a noodle arm    should never be in R.F

I think his injuries have been valid....but a bit too much hope and desire for him to succeed...clouded perspective as a superstar

I'm not saying the injuries aren't real. It's just that he's so injury prone he's basically a part-time player. Can't build your team around the part-time player.

How long til we hear SEE IT DIDNT MATTER THEY CALLED UP JENKINS

Even if they are not going to make the playoffs, it was worth it to call up Jenkins. They needed to get him some major league experience, and he seems well up to the task. Now let's extend him and lock him up for a long time.

Treating a couple of innocent  young kids at a game with decency is part of baseball....I think that you should change your name...Believe that Rod would disagree with your last sentence. Baseball has a culture...

Shut Buck down so he can get his hip surgery out of the way. Call up E-Rod.

Buck will be shutdown for the season by Monday. 

Another season where he plays less than 100 games.

To a man, I bet if you polled each Twin right now, most would want the season to end today. 

Well, they did their darnedest to make that happen.

There is much more...I posted it in my other note...still remember him commenting on him buying things...last note...I am just glad that he is gone...

[mnfireman]

With professional sports franchises/ownership embracing gambling apps, stadium/arena naming rights, etc..., it sure seems very hypocritical for them to punish athletes for such transgressions (something the WNBA seems to agree with 😉).

I see very little reason for Joe Ryan to come back this season too. Put them both on 60 day IL and tell them to enjoy an extended vacation with their family.

Won't hear it here...1 person could never have made a difference...looking towards 2027

They might not lose any games next year because they might not play any games next year.

when royce got sent down , alot of it was his big mouth ,  he went to see his agents for 2 days b4 reporting to St Paul, and they put him in his place about his media commenting and any future for him -He needed to tone that down , which he pretty much has , will it continue ?  i.d.k. he has always been treated like he is royalty ,   Karma can be a Bitc-

My guess is that it that will be settled or delayed a bit...I watched a jonboy episode and it seems they may be close...but never know

It’s probably best for the future outlook of the org to bottom out in September once again for a top 3-5 draft pick.

Ever since the Phillies series, losses no longer bother me. Play tough baseball, give the youngsters a chance and let the chips fall wherever they may. If they fall to a top-ten pick, no one will hear me complain.

If Luke is on the team next year he’s our DH. Unless they trade Lewis, then they may try him at first. 
 

Jenkins, Rodriguez, and Buxton in the outfield with Rosen and possibly Gonzalez as 4 and 5.  With  the first three’s injury history we will probably need a 6 and 7 (not named Larnach or Jackson)

So. They will not keep Bell...?...and Buxtonas a DH?
