    If there is a floor of 170 million, the revenue sharing will go up to help teams be able to reach that. That is the point of the floor and ceiling is league parity including spreading the revenue around the league. The players will want to hit 50-55% of revenue for salaries and that is what they are doing here. 170 million times 32 teams is over 5 billion in payroll minimum in a 10 billion per season revenue.

    The Twins are 2nd in the League in Runs Scored. They are also 2nd in the league in most runs given up. I don't 🤔 think offense was the problem this season. I hope you can take a closer look at the overall team.

    Zoll can move some to 1B or DH next year. I doubt Larnarch is back next year. This year he was fine.
  4. Brandon
    The Twins are 2nd in the AL in runs scored this season and they have three players in the top 20 in RBI. Bell is tied for 5th in the league in RBIs, Lee is tied for 15th and Clemens is 19th in RBI. Not bad for less than .9 million in costs. Also Clemens leads the league in triples.
  5. Brandon
    I would give Lewis another shot at 1B. Not because he is so deserving of it but because he does have potential and we have a Mendez and Gonzales in AAA and Clemens can take over if needed too. And the sleeper option is Wallner moving to 1B for another shot if Lewis gets injured or slumps again.

    Bell is 5th in the league in RBI and Larnarch has had a good season. I can't complain about those two on the roster. ERod just needed more time to break back in and get in a rhythm after a long layoff from injury. He should be up before the end of the season. Be patient.
  7. Brandon
    ERod is getting everyday AB in AAA right now after a long layoff from injury. I think he will get.called.up after the AAA season ends or after the Twins are eliminated from post season contention. He won't get too many opportunities but some and next season he will start in the OF as well. He will get his chance. How could the Twins not want to give a guy with a .400 OBP a chance.

    The Twins are trying to compete for the playoffs. E Rod needs reps. He will get them in AAA and ride the bench unless he goes on a tear. Let him play every day then bring him up at the up for 5-10 games....
  9. Brandon
    As Buxton goes ...so goes our offense. We were 1 in the league in offense at the time of his injury, but the offense has had more ups and downs since his injury. A 14-3 or 13-4 finish to the season would fet us in the playoff mix to close out the season. Not sure if 81-81 gets us a one game playoff to get the final wild card seat or not. That's a 12-5 finish. If the 87 Tigers can gain 3 games in 7 days. So can we.
  10. Brandon
    He can get everyday AB after missing so much time in AAA. I bet he comes up after AAA season ends.
  11. Brandon
    I think the Twins want E Rod to get everyday AB in AAA cause he wouldn't get them in the majors after the long layoff from his injury. As soon as the AAA season ends he will probably be up for the last few games of the season here.

    Despite the low WAR the Twins scored the 2nd most runs in the AL. They do this by having a deep 1-9 lineup of ok to good hitters. A bunch of guys capable of driving in 70-80 RBI each year with 15-25 HRs. They usually have a few decent bench bats too. No one great but lots of competency. The line up is cheaper that way. If we have an all-star it's because we developed him from the draft and minors. Our pitching is looking pretty good next season. We will be competitive next year. Especially if Culpepper keeps hitting and Jenkins figured it out. Our lineup this year has 2 3+ WAR hitters in Buxton and Jenkins. I will give them a pass for their impact while healthy. Which is another point the Twins tend to hit real welll at C and CF and SS... Which makes up for lack of stardom.

    If Jeffers is given a QO and he signs with the Yankees, we also get the benefit of the Yankees losing a draft pick. If we offer a QO and Jeffers accepts the we trade Cartini and his 7 million contract for a net 16 million budget increase at C. This is very acceptable to me. I expect Jeffers to land a 4 -5 year 17-20 million per season deal. I expect him to reject the QO and we get another draft pick. I'm fine either way as I expect the young C to be up in 2028. We have our current 2027 C on the roster, though it wouldn't surprise me to see if the Twins can find an upgrade of some kind there. I also wanted to point out for those saying that buying at this deadline was a mistake. 3 of the 4 pitchers we acquired are expected back next season. And it wouldn't surprise me to see the Twins offer Minter a 2 year 18 million contract or so and keep him too. Next season is the year to go for it for the Twins which is why I do think there is a chance Jeffers accepts the QO not a big one but a chance none the less.
  14. Brandon
    At least we have options. Next year. Ryan Lopez (will he be ready in spring training)? Bradley Abel Kremer Mathews Preliepp Rojas Festa And soon Quick And Ober (just in case we keep him) That's 11 starters. Hopefully that's enough to get us through the season.
  15. Brandon
    The Twins are 2nd behind the White Sox in Runs Scored and 2nd in the league in most runs given up. You tell me who the culprit is. But it's kinda staring us in the face. Our pitching staff. So injuries to 4 starters Ryan, Abel, Lopez and Festa and implosion of Woods-Richardson and a bullpen that wasn't fully constructed properly after last season's sell off until this seasons trade deadline buys. After saying all that I am sure it's not the pitching staff. Definitely not them...🤔 At this point we are a healthy Buxton, Ryan, and Lopez away from being serious contenders. Maybe injuries are the problem.....

    back in business now Lee win us the game. You can Do It!
  17. Brandon
    At least he is wearing out hte pitcher for the next guy.
  18. Brandon
    Jenkins loves to foul the balls and not put them into play alot.
  19. Brandon
    If we somehow win this game we are only 2.5 games back and almost in the race again. we win tonight and we only need to go 17-5 to end with the 85-77 record needed to follow the 87 Twins to the World Series.
  20. Brandon
    He hit 20 HRs in the minors that is some power. I am not saying he is a big time hitter but give the guy a shot.
  21. Brandon
    He would score from 2nd on most singles. I know he is slow as a C but still. I would think they would want to let a guy with some power hit.
  22. Brandon
    more free innings.
  23. Brandon
    I dont get why he bunted?
  24. Brandon
    And coaches and I'm sure his healthcare isn't free. I'm sure he wasn't that expensive in the grand scheme of things but they are spending 💰. I would be surprised if they didn't spend at least a million over the last 4 years directly and indirectly with resources used
  25. Brandon
    If he hits 96 or higher they might need to add him to the 40 man roster
