Tigers 5, Twins 4: Twins Keep It Close But Fall Short in Ryan's Return

If nothing else the Twins should be more athletic in 2027. I’m sick of watching bad defense.

Great! Now trade him for what you can get ASAP.

That would be the very definition of selling low. But they bought him low as well, so maybe it just comes full circle.

I don't think Ryan would sign an extension here, so I think you tell him to go get ready for a strong season after the work stoppage. The goal is to win, but as soon as it's clear that's not happening, a trade partner will be found by or before the deadline.

The Twins lost incredible trade value this year. The only way to balance that out is to go win in '27. I don't think it will happen, but they made their bed - they clearly have to go all in now and try.

Looks like the Twins will be eliminated right about the same time the Saints end their season. It would be nice to see Emmanuel Rodriguez debut in San Francisco.

And by all in, you mean they will run back the exact same roster minus Ryan Jeffers.

Keaschall, Culpepper, and Jenkins had a good game.... that's a win in my September book!

Larnach likely gone too.

Larnach may leave with my best wishes for his future. He's been a likable underachiever, I think. I know that I'm just speculating, but he often seems to lack passion. Keaschall clearly has it, but Larnach has been sort of happily going through the motions for at least a couple of years, in my humble opinion.

But, please keep Jeffers...he's a catcher with good power at times and that's a very nice thing.

18 games left and then who knows when we will see Twins baseball next.

If the owners stick to their guns on the salary cap, the smart money probably is thinking  July at the earliest.

Royce Lewis was looking great a month ago, but the past week or so it appears like he is regressing again. I've about run out hope and patience with him. Does he remain our starting first baseman next     season. or do we try and trade him?
