  1. A little different format for the question of the week. Within reason, who is your #1 trade target in the next six days? The guy who, if acquired, would make you give the Twins a B or higher grade at the trade deadline if that's all they did at the deadline. This could be a prospect, a young major leaguer, just the guy you want the most, and is reasonably considered to be available on the market. I've kind of sold myself on Moises Ballesteros.
  2. The retooled playoff format means that basically nothing will ever happen until July 25th. Which is why I said a few weeks ago that essentially boiled down to "what I think right now doesn't matter, as no decision should or will be made until the end of July". Can't be late to the party if the party doesn't start until July 30th.
  3. Yes

  5. Hey, the Twins won! Can they do that again? Oh, wait. Chris Paddack is pitching. Never mind.
  6. I'd prefer not to trade Ryan, but if the Cubs call and say "Owen Caissie and Moises Ballesteros for Joe Ryan, yes or no", I'm going to listen.
  7. Without it, we'd never know this.
  8. I want to deal one because the Twins have shown themselves capable of developing pitchers, particularly relievers. They can absorb the loss of one, and still compete. They cannot absorb the loss of two.
  9. Most Twins rentals have real value to a contender. Coulombe will have multiple suitors, as will Castro. Bader, being a great defensive player, is someone almost any team can use. If the front office doesn't trade the good rentals, they need to go. Full stop. No, you're not going to light the world on fire with any of those player returns, but given how multiple teams will want all of them, the return ain't nothing.
  10. BTV has its place, but it's kind of like WAR, except moreso: once you get into decimal places, you're missing the point of the activity. As a very rudimentary tool, it's really useful. Taken as gospel, it's being misused.
  11. Today is the last day to vote, so vote now!
  12. I mean, as much as I'd prefer to keep Jax, if a team is willing to offer a lot more for him, trade him and keep Duran.* *with that said, BBTV's valuations are ********
  13. I don't have faith in any reliever, when you get right down to it. Especially those that have already lost velocity. But every team needs some relievers, can't trade them all. So for bang-for-the-buck, I'd trade Duran.
  14. I don't have disdain for Duran, I quite like him. But I think the Twins should start dealing bullpen arms, and Duran is the highest-impact return.
  15. The Twins have a single strength right now: the bullpen. It's my opinion the Twins should enter August 1st with two good relievers on the roster: Griffin Jax and Louis Varland. Brock Stewart has three years of control but is a ticking time bomb. If you can get good value for him, move him. I've never had much faith in Duran because, if he started losing velocity, that's a real problem long-term. If a team is still salivating over him, move him. If the front office doesn't trade expiring contracts like Coulombe, they should be fired on the spot. If a team is absolutely desperate for Joe Ryan, consider trading him. Otherwise, I'm just fine keeping Joe.
  16. Hey, SWR's ERA is back under four. How nice for him.
  17. Steer is an average bat who can’t play defense. A fine second-tier starter, maybe, but not the world-beater you’re making him out to be here. But considering the Twins got basically nothing from Mahle, even a bleh starter is a win of sorts. Though given how the Reds had a good starter in Mahle, their player dev system failed here as well if that’s all they got.
  18. Twins fans aren't impressed with the Twins' front office in 2025.
  19. I will take a decent starting catcher for any reliever 11 times out of 10.
