PR while it can fluctuate, bottom line is winning ballgames. If we blow chunks in August and September is meaningless, which is a very strong possibility, your PR nightmare is we didn’t do enough at deadline for the future. Don’t sell your souls with top prospects, but don’t toot the horn we are buyers with trades we have done so far.

You have to sell to buy, the buy has to be meaningful. I don’t believe the twins buys are meaningful enough. Guardians can see what Twins have done and haven’t had to push anything outrageous yet. Mariners are doing something meaningful in my opinion. They have the right balance. O’s and Red Sox might be doing something meaningful with Adley, so that is interesting as well. PR hit for doing c grade trades is ownership telling we are buyers. Nit good enough. Offense is heavy home run ball related, no balance. Gray on team isn’t showing urgency to improve.

So we can classify the twins as buyers if this is what they do? Penny pinching trade deadline day version 2026. I don’t disagree with you, it could be just more hollow words from mgmt. my thought on Jeffers since everyone wants the QO pick when turning down offer post season, is we get what a 2nd or 3rd round comp pick? So wait, 4-6 years on that pick to mature into a potential big leaguer, or potentially get one maybe two either ready for bigs or almost ready guys via a trade. This team was 3 big swings away from a having a winless week vs Royals and M’s. Not primed for post season baseball.

Mariners 7, Twins 6: Late Rally, Fake Rally
umterp23 replied to Hans Birkeland's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
0-2 in August. 25 more games to go this month… Royals, Brewers (away). Orioles, Phillies, braves (home). Padres, athletics (away)and then last day of month start series with tigers. Hard pressed to see them getting maybe 10 wins this month. Offense has so many holes in it, can’t score without homeruns, not sustainable. Buyers for twins mindset but let’s see what they buy, not impressed yet- 35 replies

He doesn’t come across as all about money, but I don’t know him in depth. He is a competitor, been an underdog but will bet on himself. Twins competitive window, championship window is a couple years out I think he wants that opportunity to be chasing titles. Do the twins give him that long term opportunity?

I chuckle with resigning Jeffers, extension, etc… He is positioning himself for FA and as a Boras client, he will test the waters. Pile on two more wins and see what other teams do w/l wise and Monday could be very quiet or explosive. Twins being buyers with small moves will be mgmt telling us we told you we would be buyers. Quality of trades hasn’t excited me yet when roden/grays are on active 26 man. Lineup has holes that aren’t being addressed and that will bite us in the end. Tough August schedule lies ahead

Buxton is an all-star for sure but not sure you can labeling him the MVP of the team this year. Has played in 9 games since the start of July with really no meaningful moments that I can remember in this month, (now I’m old so memory may not be the best). Team is 38-40 this year when in lineup and 17-15 without. He may not be ready till mid-late August which isn’t ideal for chase to get above .500 and have meaningful games the rest of the year. Just feels like another mismanagement of guys going on IL timely to address issue, he hasn’t been right since mid to late June.

Hip Sends Byron Buxton Back To Twins' Injured List
umterp23 replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Avg less than 90 games a year at this moment from what I can tell. Your back up CF options better bring their best as his hip will linger for rest of year. Front office says we are buyers, have to sell something to buy, sure wish Jenkins or even Wallner was called up before Gray. Buyers mentality means you don’t reinstate Gray -

Lewis getting back to all-star material, what season did I miss where he was an All-Star. He had one great month doesn’t make you an all-star level player. My goodness for the Lewis hype train.. Good swing last night but he is “I don’t slump” away from being under Mendoza line. Change of scenery might be reall good for him and Twins getting another rotation piece. It will take more than Lewis to get that done
