  1. That is some odd goal-post moving and analysis there.
  2. Sonny Gray and Joe Ryan will be healthy. The problem is that the Twins have a #2 starter, a couple #3's, and a TON of #5/fringe type starters who could be league average, or not. There's only one great bullpen piece. The only guy in the lineup who can carry the lineup is going to be hurt more games than not.
  3. I think Maeda will presumably make the rotation opening day next year, but who knows. Depth will be needed either way. Paddack also could be a solid #3 but he's a complete wild card with injuries at this point.
  4. DFA Sanchez I'd guess. I really like Archer as a person but the Twins are losing all of his starts. Bundy is pitching well. I'd go with Gray, Ryan, Mahle, Varland and Bundy as starters to finish the year. Give the team the best shot to make the playoffs.
  5. That would be awesome.
  6. To be fair, Arraez should've definitely caught both of those. He is a terrible first baseman.
  7. He was fine for the first inning. Problem was when he was sent out for a second inning. He even hit 100 on the gun in his first inning of work.
  8. He was not reportedly not touching triple digits until the shortened covid season. He did have the nasty splinker and good curve. He just couldn't stay healthy as a starter. When the twins traded for him he was sitting low 90's and touching mid 90's, but all over the place and had injury issues before. He was a wildcard for sure.
  9. Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling are both available.
  10. You're right there's not much. At least Glen Perkins was successful. Cory Luebke was good but injuries took him out of baseball. Meyer is on the injury road too.
  11. Lots of injuries, but no more than on the MLB club. SMW is pitching well. Really hoping Jordy Blaze turns it around.
  12. But the good pitching prospects are still here. Balazovic, Varland, Simeon Woods Richardson, Winder, Canterino, Raya, Enlow.
  13. Rogers has been awful this year though. Paddack has more WAR this year than Rogers does.

    Correa for Soto???

    The problem I see with the yankees in the Soto speculation is that they don't have the prospect capital the Nats would want, unless the deal is mostly a salary dump, in which case they could send 150m or so to the Nats along with prospects. I don't see that happening with NYY already in revenue sharing territory.

    Correa for Soto???

    Not happening. Soto has a TON of excess trade value. He's the modern day Ted Williams. Not even worth speculating on the Twins. They'd have to include Joe Ryan, Spencer Steer, Jose Miranda, Trevor Larnach, Kirilloff, Bailey Ober and Carlos Correa to even get the Nationals to pick up the phone and get within shouting distance.
  16. Per fangraphs the Twins have a better change of making the postseason than either CWS or Cle. The White Sox suck. Their clubhouse is a mess. The Twins are like two bullpen arms away from running away with the division.
  17. Both of those guys are going to get a deal somewhere around 4/90. 10m isn't going to move the needle much for as they'll be getting a long term deal like Robbie Ray's.
  18. It was certainly a rough game to watch in person. I've been to 15 games or so this season and that was by far the worst. We left after the grand slam. Rocco should've pulled Gray when he was hit by the pitch. Cueto is one of the slowest working starters in MLB.
  19. His stuff is still good. I don't really understand why his ERA is so high. Twins probably have a better defense than SD does.
  20. Good defense and no miscues there that I saw. Celestino could not get a bunt down (2 attempts, then struck out) but defense was good, nice plays from Correa and Celestino. Good at bats from everybody except Buxton who was 0-5 with four strikeouts. He swung at everything.
  21. No chance, especially with the PED suspension.
  22. We had a thread on this already. No.
  23. Rocco said "we need a full bullpen." Kinda feels like a jab at the FO to me...Right now he does not have a full bullpen. He has one great option and one good option.
