    How is trading Ryan ‘pivoting toward 2026’? He’s arb eligible, not a free agent. I’m all for pivoting toward the future, but at 29 and signed through 2027? When he’s actually performing at a true #1 level? If the premise is to sell high and go big, I’d rather do it (if I do it) with Buxton or Correa (not exactly selling high at the moment)…simply because of more confidence that the system can kick out above average, or better, replacements at those positions.

    Wow. Ryan big-time snub. Yes, I’d probably have Buxton ahead of him….although, fwiw, Ryan has more WAR right now. Ripped off. Oh, well…get some rest, young man!

    It looks more like 2026, or maybe 27 right now. Not that that’s gonna make anyone feel much better right now.

    The Master…so hot right now
  5. jkcarew
    Not far away. Standing over a grill, 90 and humid, mosquitoes the size of large hummingbirds. Love the 4th!!

    The MASTER!!!

    France in full retreat.

    My bad. Cell phone connection is terrible where I am, I misheard. Apparently the money was coming into an establishment in VERGAS Minnesota (p. 354), not VEGAS Nevada. And it wasn’t $49.5 million, it was 49 dollars and 50 cents. Word on the street is, a couple of lads called the Karlsson Twins pooled their money for the Twins to score one or more at 10-1. Also sometimes referred to as the Karlsson Cousins, for some reason. But, I digress. PARTY IN VERGAS!!

    Sources are saying a ton of smart money in Vegas has the Twins breaking out in the seventh.

    The objective wouldn’t be to be better now, would it. Now is lost, and tomorrow doesn’t look any better.

    At Tropicana it hits a stanchion. Must not have replaced it with Steinbrenner Field in the computer program. The other accepted answer is…Yellowstone.

    At least we’re having the discussion we should be having. Sell. Not buy. I’m fine with almost all of the expiring contracts going for anything more than a bag of balls. Selling high (and healthy) on Buxton should be considered…but even for a spectator offer (which this isn’t, even taking into account the financial aspect)…this FO doesn’t have the spine to do that, if it meant winning even one less game in 2025. “We competing! We’re in 2nd place!” Besides, of all players, trading Buxton would scream the loudest: “We failed!!!” Not happening.

    Funderburk takes on the Jonah Bride roll on the mound for a week. Although, he may be a slightly better hitter than Bride.
  14. jkcarew
    Yeah…Castro’s not being used as a reliever. He’s started 9 of the 14 games he’s appeared in…and piggybacked the other times. Good month nonetheless.

    Two nice starts in a row for SWR. Way to go, young man! It was just a matter of time before the Marlins would succumb to the relentless pressure that is the Twins offense. Also of note: as I type this, the Twins are just a few outs on Chicago’s north side from absolutely blowing past the Guardians into second place in the ALC. I think I can actually hear Poland and Falvey patting each other on the back right now.
  16. jkcarew
    That was a ‘back-foot slider’ from SWR. It struck the back foot of a fan 15 rows up in the right field bleachers as he was engaged with a beer vendor.
  17. jkcarew
    Darn. I was hoping we’d follow up that first-inning explosion with more runs.
  18. jkcarew
    Twin’s aren’t a 40-45 team. They’ve had one very long duration (going back to last year and into May of this year) where they were MUCH worse than that. Then 2 weeks where the pitching staff was insanely hot. Followed again several consecutive weeks of being MUCH worse. The streak was the worse thing that could have happened. It makes for the annual “we’re in it” excuse for this spineless organization to once again do nothing. Groundhog’s day, over and over.

    It’s ironic to me that in the year where they finally just cut him loose…no DH silliness, no excessive rest days, letting him go on the basepaths…that he’s having his most consistently effective AND healthy year of his career. (knocking on wood, with fingers crossed).
  20. jkcarew
    My takeaway: Tarik Skubal is nothing special.
  21. jkcarew
    Klein would be a great story. Great body/frame to work with as a pitcher.
  22. jkcarew
    Culpepper deserving. Meanwhile, Gabriel Gonzalez is outperforming him…narrowly, but at a higher level…and is a full year younger than Culpepper. Yes, not at a premium defensive position, as is Culpepper. Still, odd he wouldn’t get a nod. ERod has been injured as usual, but I wouldn’t say his performance this year makes a compelling case for him to get the honor. Although, I guess prospect ranking has more to do with selection for this particular event than do current-season results. Probably why Gonzalez was not selected.

    The total combined career bWAR for players signed by the Twins in the 2015 draft sits at 4.1. 4.8 of that is tied up in LaMonte Wade. 😶
  24. jkcarew
    All we can do is pray that he clears waivers.
  25. jkcarew
    No runners left in scoring position! Nice to see.
