    It'll be an interesting seven weeks ahead for Zoll. This team is years away from competing, so it'll be important to take offers on a large portion of the roster. Gomez might be great, but if you won't need a strong reliever for a few years yet, see what you can get that might be even better.

    My bold prediction: neither Ryan nor Jeffers nor Buxton will not be traded by the deadline.

    Oh no. I gave Murakami my social security number.

    This team has to - has to - maximize their future value with every transaction. Ownership and payroll is still a question mark. They're still several strong arms and bats away from contending. Teams like the Twins need to use savvy trades to sell high and buy low. Jeffers, Buxton, Ryan and Lopez all should have been traded in the offseason. One is already off the table (Lopez), two are nearly off the table (Jeffers and Buxton) and Ryan has already had an injury scare. If they don't trade him and don't sign him, they will have lost tremendous future potential that could have been used to supplement the Abel/Jenkins/Culpepper era.

    These are not mutually exclusive. The Twins don't have a plan, they don't have a world-class development staff and they absolutely cannot compete with the big boys of MLB. They didn't make enough moves in the offseason. True. They aren't looking enough towards the future. That's also true, And there nothing wrong with seeing things clearly. In fact, they can't move forward if they don't. I always want this team to win. But I want the organization to build a real competitor. That's still not happening. I hope it does.

    On one hand, I admire a homer and an optimist. On the other, delusion usually doesn't lead to good places. This is a 70-win team, period. Over the next sixty games, the differences between the Twins and teams like Cleveland will become more and more stark. No checkbox has been checked. They aren't contending now, and they certainly won't be contending come August. Right now, they just aren't sinking quite as fast as we thought.

    "Clemens has found another level offensively over the last few weeks. He’s now slashing .245/.341/.445, while adding 14 extra-base hits and five stolen bases." Every now and then, a little sentence reveals so much about how a season is going so far. He's no X-factor, but he could be a very modest trade candidate come July, which would be great.

    This mismanagement and misfortune of this team's top prospects and overall roster should be studied in college classrooms. I think a full account would reveal that bad luck is just magnetically attracted to bad decisions.

    His bats are right at the bottom of even the most thorough "blame game" list. Poor guy. It's not gonna happen here. It may not happen anywhere at this point.

    "Gómez has excelled with a two-pitch mix for the Twins, posting a 0.00 ERA, 3.13 FIP, and plus grades on both pitches through 1 2/3 innings." Every now and then, a little sentence just tells you everything you need to know about how a Twins season is going so far.

    We could really use Matt Mikulski this year.
  12. LastOnePicked
    I can tell you right now, the Twins will have more needs in 2027 than they can fill. You may not want to punt '27, but this team isn't anywhere close to being a contender for 2-3 years at least. Better to reset with prospects than to let top players here rot,
  13. LastOnePicked
    Perfectly stated. Other GMs read the news too, gang. Ryan needed to be traded in the offseason. Otherwise, the Twins will have to pray that other teams have SP needs and Ryan has strengthened and stabilized when the trade deadline arrives. Otherwise, he's not going anywhere.
  14. LastOnePicked
    Does no one in this organization work with young outfielders on their approach to the wall?
  15. LastOnePicked
    Not trading Lopez, Ryan and Buxton in the offseason will haunt this team for years to come. We'll never know exactly what was missed, but the lost prospect potential in trade returns is likely going to leave significant gaps in the seasons ahead. Gaps that will never be filled through free agency.
  16. LastOnePicked
    I was skeptical he'd ever reach the majors, so I give him and the Twins minor league development staff a ton of credit. I hope he has a great MLB career ahead and makes me look even more foolish.

    Stop that. My blood pressure is loving these games.
  19. LastOnePicked
    Exactly like I predicted.
  20. LastOnePicked
    Look, I think this is still a sub-.500 team. On paper, they're certainly still a sub-.500 team. But they don't seem to want to be a sub-.500 team ... and that's what I like to see. That attitude may make all the difference.

    "At least one asset acquired last summer is making a name for himself, at least in a tiny sample size to date. Taj Bradley ...what say ye?" I say he ain't doing too bradley so far. Keep it up, young feller.
  22. LastOnePicked
    I love how we get when these Twins are just a single game above .500. And I'm feeling it, too. Bring on the prospects and let's irritate some division foes.
  23. LastOnePicked
    Probably too early to say this, but I do like Shelton as manager a lot better than Rocco. A lot. A lot.
  24. LastOnePicked
    Same here. In fact, they've just bested my predicted season win total.
  25. LastOnePicked
    Cy Bradley. A taj overdone ... but I like it.
