    Say what you will on Correa but he was also worth 10 WAR and carried us in post season series win. Correa does not appear to be the same player he was even last year. I wish him well but all in all after paying $30 million we did ok. Go ask the Angels about bad contracts.

    Deal with it.

    That Toronto trade actually looks really good, better if the outfielder pans out. As to the draft There is a massive difference between picking 1-5 than 10-15. The 2026 draft looks very good. This is a mandate likely from the new owners. Pohlads are the ones that did this say what you will. My guess is we have a bottom 3 record once everything is said and done for draft purposes. 4 teams can’t draft in the top 9.

    They are tanking for 2 months. This is for the draft. After that we still have questions. Can they build a good enough bullpen in 1 offseason? That’s a difficult task. I’m willing to give the Toronto outfielder the rest of the season before I declare him AAAA.

    If the ball is flying better we don’t get to the 10th. Cleveland had 2 fly balls at the fence.

    Most of it is Pohlads. Baldellis time is coming to end is my guess. Falvey, I like the draft system he has set up. Even if he goes I hope we keep a lot of he ideas. Falvey followed the boss orders for the last 2 years. My bigger concern is why couldn’t our players hit. This is the question that has to be answered.

    For Joe and the fans, we need Joe to do well down the stretch. More than anyone else he holds the most value of any other player that could give us the pieces for another run.

    Diaw coming back is big. Dang that top 20 list is strong. Culpepper is having an adjustment to AAA that’s not unexpected. All in all a solid day for the prospects. Diaw, Debarge, Amick, Keashall, Houston Gonzalez Winokur (2rbis). My guess is it was just as much an emotional day for the minors as it was the big league team.

    To give any positive thought, the new rules against tanking does not give incentive past 2026 for losing unless we are in a 1990’s stretch. I think we a start turning the corner late 2026 start seeing some hope and 2027 the new management starts supporting the team.

    It appears you are still in the 7 stages of grief and still in the anger mode. Go read my posts, even up through trade deadline I said this team not only had a chance to go on a run but to do something special. You needed the bats to get hot. You had a strong bullpen and 3 really good starters when healthy. After the deadline there is no hope for a run. Yesterday’s lineup was more of AAAA audition line. Gasper, Martin, Julien, Roden, Clemens, Wallner. That is not a winning lineup- neither is the bullpen. You know what they didn’t give up. They played hard. They gave themselves a shot. I’ve been watching Martin and thought he was really turning it around. We have all been Twins fans, so we all . know what rough times are like. I always try to understand what the true goal is. Right now it’s to tank for draft capital. That is clear as day. My question still is this just a tank for the rest of 2025 and we rebuild the bullpen, or is this sell off just the beginning? I don’t see how we compete in 2026 either. The nail in that coffin was Varland and Jax. You needed those 2 with sands plus 2-3 more pieces. So my guess is Ryan, Ober and Lopez will be traded soon. Maybe you keep 1 veteran for stability purposes. the 2026 and 2027 drafts look strong. The minors have some really good pieces and we still have Buxton. I still have hope, but my timeline has moved. So fight hard play well, but they are going to lose a lot and we will see what comes from the draft picks.

    Tank mode has started off well. Ryan was solid, Martin looked great. Topa and Sands looked Ok. Racked up another loss. For the lottery sitting at 6th best odds. Baltimore, A’s and Pirates all are playing pretty well. The other team we want to get on a hot streak is the Braves. Colorado, National and Angels can’t pick above pick 9 with anti tanking rules.
  12. bunsen82
    Barely winning against a largely AAA team isn’t a great accomplishment.
  13. bunsen82
    This is a great outcome guys. We have to accept the losses. But we need to find players for next year. Martin looks like he is ready to contribute.
  14. bunsen82
    Damn that was close.
  15. bunsen82
    Did he seriously try to explain it? You have 2 reasons to trade him, you either think he isn’t good or you want to lose and don’t want him having a positive impact.
  16. bunsen82
    My bet is Louie is the one we really miss in a couple years.
  17. bunsen82
    LOL I’m a little league coach, I know all the strategies.
  18. bunsen82
    You use you best reliever to face their 2, 3, and 4 hitters.
  19. bunsen82
    Roden wasn’t the key piece, got a AA pitcher ranked in our top 10 prospects.
  20. bunsen82
    Just got done watching a movie, looks like Martin has had a nice night.
  21. bunsen82
    You can when the players are traded.
  22. bunsen82
    I expect lots of roster moves the next 2 months. LOL Erasmo Ramirez, didn’t realize he was still pitching. Yes we got Outman for Beef Stew.
  23. bunsen82
    We are positioning the twins to compete at a higher level, just not in the short term . . . I fixed the grammatical error
  24. bunsen82
    Watch it be Matt Mikulski 🤣
  25. bunsen82
    Roden could be 1st baseman. Mendez is a bit redundant but has a really good hit tool. It increases the odds we will have OF actually succeed. Or they thought the value was above average and its all going to be flipped again. Trading Stewart for Buxton insurance starts to make a lot more sense. We have traded minor assets each year or spent $3 to $4 million every year. You traded Stewart for about $9 to $12 million worth - the cost it would take to sign a defensive CF. As to Ryan, no one was willing to overpay. Please don't take his value the remainder of this season with the team you will be running out there.
