  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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+?
  5. They pretty much have to trade either Jeffers or Jackson. Can't go the year with 3 active catchers, don't want to lose them for nothing. Agreed that Bell will stay and I think they'll mostly keep the team together otherwise, maybe trade Wallner, Martin.
  6. With Lewis at 2B and Lee as backup SS as you suggest, the defense would suffer too much. They've prioritized D lately, so there's no way this happens. Royce's personailty and defensive chops are best suited for 1B.
  7. I wonder if all contenders have four relievers I don't trust with a seven run lead
  8. Sad state of affairs - I think The Twins' backup catcher might be their best infielder.
  9. Ugh. I don't recall a time when the Twins employed a more pathetic group of pinch hitters than Kreidler, Outman, Clemens. Punto and Celestino are Babe Ruth compared to this bench.
  10. I think a bigger red flag is his career minor league OPS, which is .772. Also, he worked hard through two knee surgeries to make the majors, he's not 'mentally fragile'.
  11. I think there's a spot for either E-Rod (not mentioned here) or Roden to start the year, even with Martin and Larnach on the roster. It would add some excitement. Outman isn't needed. Agreed that Arcia probably has a slight edge at SS right now but as ohters have said, hopefully something better pops up.
  12. I feel like Morris will be a bulk reliever on the shuttle most of the year, and the projected bullpen doesn't really have any of those guys. If they want a long reliever on opening day, I can see him starting the year with the Twins.
  13. If they really made an offer on Valdez, maybe they have money for a Joe Ryan extension. Prospects are always a crapshoot. Without much money on the books going forward, it's time to start thinking about keeping some good players. I also agree with the yesterday's article -- the Lopez injury makes us more likely to contend in 2027.
  14. He had that nasty head-to-head with Correa in May, and the Twins were mostly out of contention after that, I'm willing to assume he took a little off his closing to stay healthy. I think his numbers this year will determine if he has another year or two in center.
