  1. I wouldn't do anything now pre-season. But if health is good for the first few months, I would very much be aggressive before the trade deadline. EDIT: Came back to add, I would listen if it is something that would help the 2025 team. I would not be inclined to trade pitching for a prospect return right now. I don't know what that means, other than I would love a middle of the order type bat.
  2. I’ll go with Nick Blackburn.
  3. I wonder if anyone else gets hurt in the next bit if they reach out to David Robertson. He would certainly help here
  4. Hopefully at most it's a minor thing. Thanks for passing this along
  5. If I truly played mlb the show at all, then absolutely. Real life, we'll see. Mostly I hope he can be as healthy as possible come September/October.
  6. I more meant I don't see any of Zebby or Festa or SWR making 20 healthy starts at AAA this year. If I am wrong, that probably means the team is doing really well.
  7. You are assuming an awful lot of health for everyone in the rotation. That wouldn't be a bad thing necessarily.
  8. Any word on when Joe Ryan will pitch in his first spring game? Hard to give up on depth if Ryan isn't ready to be pitching opening day.
  9. Healthy Buxton, Correa and Lewis will easily mitigate this potential issue
  10. If the depth is all still mostly healthy come July, I’d have to imagine a move or two will be there for the deadline too
  11. He certainly FEELS like a bat that we will be happy to have around. Excited to see his 2025 season!
  12. If things aren't going swimmingly there through the first 3 months of the season or so, I have to imagine that 1B could be an easy target for a trade addition prior to the July deadline. Don't know who that means, but a starter quality 1B should be easier to acquire than some other positions. Here's hoping that they have enough quality at 1B, and keep the remainder of the team healthy, for as long as possible.
  13. Is this not something where once someone guesses the answer and the chain ends right? I have to think Jacque Jones is the answer now, But since we don’t have closure I’m curious if we still have to keep guessing
  14. Jamie also wrote a pretty great article recently breaking down the 1st round catcher options he mentioned here for the mlb draft this July. Just wanting to share https://www.justbaseball.com/mlb/2025-mlb-draft-deep-dive-evaluating-college-catchers/
  15. 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
  16. I'll give it a go. Is that Brent Gates?
  17. 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 :)
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Good thing there is time between now and the playoffs starting to assess and make potential transactions then, right?
  21. 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
