  1. But hey, according to tankathon the Twins have a full 1 game lead for the #2 pick odds in the MLB lottery now. So there's that.
  2. I wouldn't expect Larnach to bring in a ton either. I'm more comparing to, they got Steven Okert for a less valuable (than Larnach) Nick Gordon. I think they move Larnach for a middle reliever type coming off a down year and that pitcher PROBABLY has a salary a smidge less than Larnach would earn in 2025. Not expecting a ton, but I also don't expect any of the other players listed to be traded this offseason
  3. Larnach to me should be number 1 with a bullet. All of the other players listed have a likely path to a roster spot in 2026.
  4. The way Ober has looked lately I worry he has an injury we will find out about soon enough. I also kind of expect Festa to move to the pen. And yeah, with a payroll already under 100 million, I can’t imagine the need to trade either Ryan or Lopez just to salary dump. That doesn’t add up for me. If they are trading either it’s because they are overwhelmed
  5. What would the return be specifically? They have to get players back that would be on the 2026 team if they trade either of them. Who are those players and where would they play in 2026? I can’t see trading either for prospects alone. They have prospects
  6. As much as the non-sale news has been hard to digest (some other colorful language could also be used) this makes a ton of sense for why they didn't sell right now. If there is a long work stoppage, even putting the 2027 season at risk, I can see why waiting for that to be cleared up before new owner(s) want in.
  7. I do think the plan could be from trading their pitching to fill one of these spots? For example, who is the best 1B that SWR could get in a trade? But yeah, this offseason and into next year will be telling for the direction. I also fully expect a lockout after next season, so all of this is going to be just a crazy time to try to follow and love Twins baseball in my opinion.
  8. I don't see any way that any of the names you actually listed are still with the team after this season
  9. Small sample of what I will present, but since the end of July (or at least the past month, since 7/26/25) he is hitting 242/314/453. That's a wRC+ of 112. I HAVE to think knowing he'll be at SS each day hasn't hurt. And yes it's a small sample, but it's POSSIBLE there is something there. I hope it does continue.
  10. Do you think Lewis's 75th percentile outcome for 2026 is closer to his 2025 season production or his 2023 season production? I tend to think he can find a way to get back closer to what he was in 2023 with a full/healthy offseason. But if you truly believe the 2025 version IS what Royce is, then so be it.
  11. I don't think this example is relevant for a baseball team. I mostly care about his bat being in the lineup and him helping on defense when he is ready. Now, if we were arguing about him playing at SS or at Catcher I would agree with you.
  12. Maybe on the bench. But if younger players are performing more to their career norms, he isn't performing well enough to start anywhere. I mean, do you enjoy seeing someone with a .281 on base percentage listed as a starter?
  13. If Jenkins is up and producing, does it matter if he is in cf or lf or rf? Really? That said, maybe Buxton is the one that moves to a corner at some point. I could see that too.
  14. I have a hard time seeing Royce go, but if he is traded he would bring back something. Still, his savant page is a LOT more red than Lee's for example. Why not Royce at 1B if that is the case? Otherwise maybe Keaschall could be in left with Culpepper at 2b? Hard to pencil E Rod in anywhere at this point. I'd love to be wrong.
