Hey Zoll, extensions are so hot right now.

The Twins should lock up a few of their young prospects. Jenkins, Keaschall, Bradley, Culpepper - all candidates in my opinion. Twins had some luck with Polanco and Kepler. This is a tactic that small and mid market teams should use. Cubs extended PCA. ZOLL, DO IT!

The Nationals are doing it!

I put together 6 of them for my blueprint (Pablo and 5 young guys)

Pablo - Ripping up his current deal. New Deal is 3/60 - 10/25/25. This saves the Twins some money for the signing bonuses that you'll see in a second. Pablo doesn’t mind a lower 2027 salary since it would be pro-rated if the season is shortened.

Priellip and Abel - Same offer of 7/50 - I think maybe Prielipp has one more year of team control than Abel, but it would be Super 2. Close enough for this exercise. The 7th year is a team option. $5M signing bonus – 1/2/4/5/5/10/18TO

Keaschall – 5 years of team control remaining – 7/65 - Fully guaranteed. $5M signing bonus – 1/9/10/10/10/10/10

Jenkins – 6 years of team control remaining – 9/98 – Final year is a team option. $5M signing bonus – 1/3/5/7/8/9/15/20/25TO

Culpepper – 6 years of team control remaining – 8/80 – Final year is a team option. $5M signing bonus – 1/5/8/8/10/10/13/20TO

I'm willing to talk to Lee and Zebby, but I'm not super interested. Zeeby seems like a good "get it done cheap" opportunity because he hasn't earned that much in his career and is the only one of these young guys who didn't get a 7-figure signing bonus when he was drafted.

I’d add Taj to this list, but I like where your head is at. I would even potentially go to Lackey at some point also. Just throwing this out there.

But I agree completely
