  1. Between Lewis, Larnach, and Bell, there may be room for one of them in 2027. I'd take Bell personally.
  2. I'm not sure he has much trade value right now. Contenders will see him as unplayable after July.
  3. This is the biggest coin flip of the offseason I think. A team that wants to contend needs around nine starters to get through the season, and a few of them can be guys like Ober, but he'll have to be in long relief when all the other starters are healthy.
  4. Sign a FA 2B, move Keashall to 1B where he could be really good, rotate DH between Buxton and others instead of a full time non-defensive player - so they can have options like Clemens-Martin-Kreidler on the bench. When Houston is ready, Lee becomes situational. That solves the defense's biggest problems, but Catcher is still interesting. They may have to wait for Lackey if they want defense back there.
  5. Ober is 55th in WAR among MLB pitchers over the last 5 years. A lot of complaining for a guy who's been better than most teams' #3 starter. He's not always good, but valuable when he is, he probably deserves another year.
  6. If he played any defense, I'd say yes. He's obviously valuable in the lineup, leading the team in RBI and always seems to be in the middle of it when they're scoring. But I agree that Buxton and Keashall (and possibly Jeffers or Larnach) might warrant a bunch of DH time, so I think it would be best to pass on Bell.
  7. With all the young players and current catching pipeline, they can easily afford a 4 or 5 year market-rate extension for Jeffers.
  8. Sure, why not? Salas is a year younger than Lackey and just debuted for the Padres. As long as Lackey learns the Twins system and keeps hitting a little, a Sept 2027 callup seems reasonable.
  9. The trades they made weren't the problem, they will mostly help next year. The problem is what they didn't do. No surprise that a team with 3 catchers, sketchy defense, and no bench versatililty is losing games late.
  10. Overall, I'd say a D. I feel like playing with 3 catchers and a full time DH for a month is going to be too tough to overcome for a playoff spot
  11. I like Peralta as a wild card/change of scenery candidate. He's having a down year, but a former ace who could win playoff games, so not sure what he's worth... Tait? Hill? Rojas+?
