    Leaving you still an injury away from Khadim Diaw. My point wasn't about the merits of any of the three catchers we have. It was that your post was a non-sequitur where it came to Jeffers. Also, that the front office failed in the off-season to identify a suitable 3rd string catcher who still had minor league options remaining. Acquiring Alex Jackson represented insurance before they knew they would sign Caratini, but once that latter move happened, they needed to swing another trade somehow. And so here we are now, with 3 catchers among 13 position players for the next several weeks unless a trade occurs well before the volume of deadline deals. Not a smooth sequence of events for the FO.

    Keeping Jeffers still means being an injury away from Khadim Diaw, unless you think the Twins will run with 3 catchers for the rest of the season. They almost certainly can't stash Jackson at St Paul anymore - the whole league is starved for catching and someone would pick him up if the Twins waived/DFAed him.

    After the game on July 9, 2025, the Twins' record was 45-47. After today's game, the Twins' record is 46-48. I'm not ready to crown anybody Manager of the Year quite yet.

    Wouldn't such a clause in the contract violate the CBA?

    Interesting. b-r.com lists his earliest free agency as before the 2031 season. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/grifffo01.shtml#all_br-salaries

    Is he? I admit I don't know the ins and outs under the current CBA of what happens when a player goes off to Japan for a time and then comes back and signs a one-year contract. The sources I can find indicate he has just over 1 year of major league service at the beginning of 2026, making him maybe eligible for arbitration soon but not free agency. Just because a major league team has released him doesn't mean he is forever free of the rules regarding free agency - or does it?

    Fantastic game-winning at bat by Roden. He didn't just foul three pitches; he fought off three very tough strike-three pitches to stay alive before the pitcher finally put a pitch where he didn't mean to.

    sSo1 has an underrated sly sense of humor. I mean, take the screen name itself into account on something like this.

    Sore winner. 😁

    Concur. I'm just following on Gameday but Festa showed masterful command with three consecutive two-strike pitches on the black that each would have rung up the batter (either by umpire call or ABS challenge). Roden did well to foul each of them off. Fantastic at bat for both players, and it was Festa who finally blinked and gave him a hittable pitch.

    OH NO HE DIDN'T!

    No place to put Roden. They'll have to pitch to him.

    Crap. Wrong thread.

    Walkoffs will haunt!

    Did I say batting average? I clearly meant OPS.
  17. ashbury
    That's your job. It's what the congregation is paying you the big bucks for.
  18. ashbury
    Perhaps they can't.

    What if they want to strip mine our bullpen (aside from a few we mark as untouchable)?
  20. ashbury
    They retired our .500 hitter. Now I'm worried.
  21. ashbury
    Peter's a perpetual pessimist. Pooh-pooh.
  22. ashbury
    Man on base. Perfect situation for our .500 hitter!
  23. ashbury
    Good job Victor, knowing when to challenge.
  24. ashbury
    The team medical staff holds the high card over anything I'd say, but my vote would be to try and get another inning out of him. Look at the array of bullpen talent who didn't go yesterday, if that sways you any.

    Offensive lineman.
