    I certainly like having Wallner at 1B or at DH if he is going to be on the team compared to still in right. With Jenkins and Rodriguez close, and Rodan and Martin in the outfield now with Buxton, the range in the outfield should be a strength regardless. Love Wallner and his arm. If he can take to 1B, I think that'd be great. Otherwise looking outside the organization for a 1B makes sense too

    For me it’s Cholowsky, Gracia (I don’t know how often I will type Garcia by accident) and Grady Emerson in some order. At least as of today. Will be fun to watch this draft season and the lottery unfold. Thanks!

    Agreed you take what the best offer is if you are dead set on trading him. But would I be ok accepting less than they got for Jhoan Duran? No
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    Disagree only that I'll take Pablo as my ace. Ryan was awesome last year, but I'll take Pablo for 2026 ongoing.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    100% agreed.

    I have no problem with writing articles of any kind. People can do that. Positive/negative, I'm trying to answer YOUR question here. This type of article here reminds me so much of the premise from the movie Office Space and having a Jump to conclusions mat. That's all I'm really trying to say here.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    No one is policing what people can or can't write. I don't understand how you are jumping to that conclusion. I'm also not someone who GENERALLY worries about things that are outside of my control or that have or haven't happened. Especially when it relates to things that truly don't matter in the grand scheme of things, like a past time. Plenty of other things to worry about that are very real. I'll give you an example. The baseball draft lottery will be at the winter meetings in December. Probably around December 8-10th at some point. Inevitably, wherever the Twins end up for the MLB draft in July 2026, there is going to be columns written about potential players they could draft with the pick they have. Also inevitably, there are absolutely going to be comments under each of those articles on every single player that's written about that'll say something to the effect of "Doesn't matter who they pick, that player is going to get injured or the Twins will screw up that players' future" in some capacity right? Such is life in the comments section I suppose. But if an article is written about a player and WHY that player is doomed, I have a hard time backing that premise as the future hasn't happened yet, right? That's all I'm saying. Same with this premise. The Twins are becoming a laughing stock because they MIGHT trade Pablo Lopez. I don't see how anyone connects those dots without an action being taken. If the Twins keep Pablo there will be people who think they are a laughing stock already, right? And if they trade him, the comments will be louder in that regard, especially with whatever the return actually is. Basically, you are feeding the beast either way. I just choose to not put as much energy into writing about things that haven't happened is all. Do you use a lot of energy worrying about things that haven't come to pass?

    Right there with you. My kids aren't baseball fans, so I very much appreciate having twinsdaily for any conversation about baseball. It was one of my first loves, the game itself, and having baseball to still talk about is certainly a great escape from reality in many ways. No doubt :)

    I thought their pro scouts were more game prep than anything, but I could be wrong. I have no doubt they (and most teams) have a fairly large database of everything they know about most other teams players, and their own, from at least high A and higher. Everyone knows just about everything about all the players it FEELS like, just some teams have different opinions about what they are looking for.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    You know, I am too. I guess if articles have to be written daily though, the arizona fall league is going on. Not that I'm the one choosing content, but both Hendry Mendez and Brandon Winokur played yesterday in their game. Just throwing out ideas :)
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    Yup, I don't see a lot of positive either. I will add, if someone came out and wrote an article on why the Twins should and will sign Pete Alonso or some other name free agent this offseason I'd also understand this is a daily operation.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    Well then if they aren't getting the value they believe they are worth, then they aren't getting traded. Problem solved.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Does someone HAVE to write an article every day though? Like for real, is that TRULY necessary?
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah, but going into it with a doom and gloom/sky is falling right away and worrying about something that may or may not happen, why have that? I truly sometimes don't miss the days of NOT having 24/7 news all the time. Maybe that makes me old.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    I didn’t say it has to be puppies and kittens either. I just meant why worry about something before it actually happens? What is the point?
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Sky is falling articles or comments are hard for me to take. Why not just let the offseason play out?
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be fine with trading Wallner for a catcher or a prospect they like. Unless of course they think he can become less 3 outcomes overall, I could see moving him too. I know he is a walking .800 ops, and his power is huge, but if they truly are moving more towards contact and athleticism, I'm not certain where his role is outside of either 1B (which he has never played) or DH. I know he is from here, but if they are changing HOW they play (including on defense) I could see him being moved to. Would not shock me.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Which is why I'm comparing it to what they did with Nick Gordon for Steven Okert. Okert was in his last year of arbitration and couldn't be optioned to the minors. That type of player (and contract) would be my guess as to what they could receive from Larnach from whatever team. If they do know for now there truly isn't a market out there in any way for Larnach, then designating would be appropriate too. I just think there has to be some type of market for him, even if it is 2 or 3 teams that would have interest as a bat to only face righties.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Dumb question probably; couldn't he be traded prior to tendering a contract?
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Fedko and Rosario, I'm not certain either will be added to the 40 man. But your point is still valid. Other movement probably happens beyond them too.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    He doesn't have zero value. I don't see him on the 2026 team, but some team will give SOMETHING for him to get him for only 2 million or so in 2026.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Could an article be written or amended to have what possible returns would look like and how they would fit into the roster? For example, I don't want this to happen, but I could easily see Ryan traded. He is really the only one that could arguably be described as having the highest potential trade value they will have at any point. If he is traded, I have to think a bat comes back along with like 2-3 other really good prospects. I also think at minimum Larnach will bring back a reliever that is in the similar vein to when they got Steven Okert for Nick Gordon. Beyond that, if these trades are happening, I'd love to see an article with a blueprint/guess for what the roster actually rounds out to look like. Having Cody Lawyerson listed on the opening day roster is something that I can't see the Pohlad's even wanting.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I wish this would have been written out with what returns came back in all of these deals. It’s impossible for me to see a way that all of these players were traded and we didn’t receive anything back for them that makes the mlb roster. That’s almost impossible to do, right? Arguably having Larnach still on the roster almost feels the most unrealistic here. I could be wrong.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    And I’d prefer him over an old retread as an example, at least generally
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I was thinking going to st Louis. They have a decent number of catchers either that have debuted or in the upper minors that might be interesting. But yeah, a younger guy would be great in this role in my opinion
