  1. There is plenty of time to be honest. Unrelated; are you Twins Talker? Or Twin Stalker?
  2. This is one of those answers that either we will know come Friday afternoon, when the tender deadline is set. Or we will see a change between now and February. I guess I'd be surprised. IF Clemens is the primary 1b (which I'm not counting on, but let's say that's what is happening) how does Julien being his backup make sense? It's certainly not for the platoon advantage, and it's also certainly not for the defense he does or does not provide. I guess I'm trying to say I don't see Julien's fit on this roster. But if they CAN get his bat back, then maybe it works? I don't see that happening, but who knows at this point.
  3. Agreed with this. Ward is a good player, and this is definitely a gamble. Even if Rodriguez misses time, this is 4 years of value.
  4. Cult heroes who destroy AAA isn't the worst thing to ever happen. They aren't. The Saints certainly appreciate being able to win games too, even if that isn't the most important thing development wise. Anyway, LOTS of offseason left.
  5. I’m not advocating for him. If he goes, he goes. I was just saying he is easy to stash and seems like a good dude. Lots of movement still to come this offseason
  6. Not specifically Twins related but I thought this was a fun trade to read about. What this does tell me is Baltimore is going to be in the market for pitching they can trust.
  7. Or Keirsey, or McCusker, or Larnach, or Julien. I agree. Possibly something is up with Culpepper then?
  8. Gasper has two options left. He could spend 2026 in Saint Paul. He isn’t guaranteed to be on the 26 man at all
  9. They can still make trades. This Friday is the deadline for if they are going to offer arbitration or not. More to come
  10. I’m hopeful Culpepper doesn’t get picked. I’m also hopeful they make some more moves this week involving Julien and Larnach in particular. After that, the offseason should be interesting. For tonight though, I agree with who they kept otherwise and Ozre seems decent just looking at the stat line and his pitch mix
  11. My first thought when seeing this headline was "Wait, did the front office not think of this before right now? Are they not evaluating their players all the time?" And then I remembered this is just at a twins sight that I go to daily :) I will argue a little on Lee though, at least in comparison to Lewis. I don't know that Lee is definitely a SS a the major league level. I also don't think he is a superior defensive player at 3b compared to Lewis. Because of those two things, I would very much be open to moving Lee in the right deal. Lewis, for every injury over the last year plus, has at least shown solid defense at 3rd, and back in 2023 into 2024 showed high end production.
  12. I wouldn't do 1 for 1 for Adley for Ryan. But if Baltimore also wanted to include Coby Mayo with Adley for Ryan, that would be something very interesting to consider. At least in parameters of a deal.
  13. I think Lewis has #2 hitter in him. I also think Roden or Martin can be fine as a leadoff option in a pinch. Otherwise, Keaschall at #2 makes a lot of sense to me, with possibly Lewis at 3 and Buxton at 4? The talent is there, but have to get them to execute.
  14. I'm good with Buxton at 1, 3 or 4. He is the best power hitter on the team. IF Lewis can become more like his 2023 self with solid coaching, then we can work with that.
  15. I mean, arguably, Keaschall and Buxton could be pretty decent #3 and #4 hitters no? But yeah, we'll see how the offseason actually plays out
  16. I agree with you. For his credit, Clemens is actually pretty decent defensively at 1b. I don't see the point of having Julien defensively anywhere, so we'll see how the offseason goes.
  17. You think Julien is still with the team after tomorrow? I guess we'll see. But I do think trading for someone makes a ton of sense.
  18. I don't know that I can get there with having Clemens be penciled in anywhere. MAYBE as a utility guy on the bench, but as a starter I just can't get there. That's even IF they do trade some veterans.
  19. I think Gonzalez and/or Mendez can have all the time they need at AAA if they are working on 1B. I'd be surprised if Wallner is part of the 1b plan, but I guess we'll see closer to spring training. I hope they get someone else.
  20. They have to do something. Could also be via trade. But they need a true middle of the order type of hitter, and 1b or dh is a great spot to start.
