They can send a prospect to Philadelphia too in a trade for Castellanos. That’s is an option. Plus with alcala and Varland and Topa all having options, in the end it doesn’t matter at all JUST the opening day roster. The 8 bullpen members for game 1 will certainly be different in game 9. They have room for everyone is what I am saying. At least for the first month and change at minimum. And that’s only if everyone stays healthy

I'll give it a go. Is that Brent Gates?

Dad, what’s reading the comments section like in real life? Well son, someone inevitably is going to say something to the effect of “I’m not a doctor, but” and then, well, you remember why reading comments isn’t a positive experience generally. So maybe don’t do it. Thanks dad! Good article! Thank you for sharing your writing :)

That or a few things... 1) Change the philosophy to bring in more contact. It sounds like that focus is there this spring. We'll see if it works. 2) Keep the main guys (Lewis/Correa/Buxton) in the lineup more than last year 3) Be ready to bring up Rodriguez/Keaschall when they are ready 4) Be aggressive before the July deadline. But yes, agreed. The pitching is good, and the offense doesn't HAVE to be the 27 Yankees for them to win a bunch of games.

Thanks!!!

The Twins were 13-58 last season when scoring less than 4 runs. That means they were 69-22 when they scored at least 4 runs. 4 runs is NOT a huge number, obviously.

Good thing there is time between now and the playoffs starting to assess and make potential transactions then, right?

Is Chris Paddack still on the Twins?
Cory Engelhardt replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I have to think Miami wouldn’t be against adding any pittance to their 2025 salary for one, plus basically all of their pitching is also coming off and/or dealing with injury. I guess we will see if he is here or not, but this front office has made deals with Miami before -
Is Chris Paddack still on the Twins?
Cory Engelhardt replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
This is going to be WILD when he is traded March 12th to the Marlins, then he has a good season and the Twins re-acquire him in July :) -
No one on paper is at the Dodgers level. I'd also probably argue the Mets and Phillies and Cubs all look better than anyone in the AL. That said, if health is there, this team was playing as well as anyone for about 3 months last year. It's not impossible.

Cuddyer and Sano were drafted/signed as SS's. Joe Nathan also was drafted as a SS. Same with Jacob DeGrom. It's not the drafting of SS's that means they don't have a 1B right now that isn't a star. Alex Kirilloff, if healthy, would have been very good at 1B by now. I have no doubt. We'll see, but I'm optimistic that new owners will help with payroll more to allow for more aggressive acquisitions for positions of need.

Harder and harder to see a long term, or even short term, defensive position fit for Julien

I’d be really surprised if Paddack is just given a spot ahead of SWR, or Festa, to be honest. Hope he can do well obviously, but the young arms showed more than he did last year. Plus with Rocco not mentioning him, that answers the question for me.

You are right though. If he isn’t in big league camp he wouldn’t win. My bad on reading the directions, or lack thereof :)
-
He has at least proven it in the past.
-
I have to think if his back is feeling good he will be fine. Great write up!
-
Miranda from July on last year was really bad though right, just like France was. From July 10th through the end of the season, Miranda’s wRC + was 47, France was 75. And there is a real scenario where neither are on the team in June or July of this year: Im hopeful they both can perform: we will see
-
Because Miranda hasn’t ever shown he can hold up for a full season and be productive? Plus he is only 3 years younger than France. If Miranda can show he can be productive there is a place for him. Hopefully he goes out and proves it
-
I don’t understand the hand-wringing on this when it relates to both Miranda and to Julien: neither of them have showed that they can be healthy and productive for even 3/4th of a season before. Hopefully they can get to that point, and if that’s the case that’s a good thing. France isn’t the guy I was hoping for this offseason either, but if he is over his heel injury, there is a chance he can get back to 2021-2022 levels right? If not, there truly isn’t a loss here unless Keaschall or Rodriguez are blocked, which I don’t see happening
-
If he earns a callup that's not a bad thing. If he is regularly hitting in the middle of the lineup in July, that's probably not a great sign for how the season has gone.

First off, welcome! Baseball is back, and that's always a good thing. I checked the schedule too and don't see any tv listings for spring as of today. I have to think that'll be posted at some point, but as of right now there is nothing listed. Spring training games will have a tv component I have to imagine, right? Especially with the launch of Twins tv, I'd imagine rolling out that schedule will be here in due time. Have a great day!

Can you clarify, did Rocco not answer because there wasn't anything to report regarding injuries, or did he answer by saying there weren't any injury news to report? How you wrote it appears ominous
