    I'd be really curious how much they do spend. Let's say there is a regular amount for spring training (I wouldn't hold out hope too much, but just say there is. 1) Does Jeffers get extended and/or the QO? 2) Is Larnach back? Is Josh Bell back? 3) Is any of Ryan, Pablo or Ober extended? All of their deals end after 2027. 4) Who of Brooks Lee, Royce Lewis, Kody Clemens and Austin Martin are you building around/with? How many of them are starters? They are all entering more arbitration than the younger players coming up. 5) Who of Luke Keaschall, Walker Jenkins, Kaelen Culpepper, along with possibly Marek Houston and Vahn Lackey, will you look to extend on the position player side? 6) Who of Taj Bradley, Mick Abel, Connor Prielipp, Kendry Rojas and possibly others will you truly build in the rotation with along with the veterans? Maybe all of them, but still. Will you extend any of them? After all of those are made (I didn't name every player obviously) where specifically will you look to spend money to raise the payroll. More pitching is always good, but is there a defensive position or 2 or 3 that you will look to either trade for players or sign free agents to augment the roster? Who is set where at what position(s)? That's what I'd love to know, the plan in that regard.

    I'm good with keeping Wallner at AAA. The other 2 I fully agree with. And frankly, I know he doesn't play a lot, but I'm ok with keeping Jackson around a bit longer as emergency too in case Jeffers or Caratini do get hurt. I don't love the catching depth at AAA. I designate Jackson if everyone else is healthy and Buxton is actually good to go.

    I wish these articles would wait to be written somewhere between 1-8 years after they happen. I mean, we haven't even seen Kremer or Hoffman pitch in a Twins uniform yet since being acquired, and arguably a majority of the prospects sent away 98% of fans on this site have never seen more than a short clip of a video. I feel like this article was written by Tom Symkowski, of the famed "Jump to Conclusions Mat" from Office Space. I don't know what the future holds, and no one is promised anything. Take a deep breath and enjoy the ride.

    My wife has a cousin in Portland and another down near Bend. We will very much be there again at some point. Beautiful out there. And some great beer too :)
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    And I'll say that I THINK Jenkins would have been up already had he not hurt his shoulder against the wall. He's been back in St. Paul since June 23rd now, and I think that is about enough time. I don't know how much longer he needs to be there at this point.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    So you are saying the Twins are suddenly going to start acting as a franchise in a way that they have never acted before in their entire history?
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    I've had a beer or two from that place but not the hazy yet. I'll have to check it out :) My family moved here in April, so we are still pretty new here. We live north of the bridge so to speak, in Milford. Absolutely love it here. Reach out when you are here again.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Nobody is saying he is the next Witt. But he would be an upgrade over what they currently have, and arguably would have been up a month ago had he not gotten hurt at the time. He has crushed every level, and there is documented video of his defense, as well as data of his athleticism, showing he brings certain traits to the table that are better than many on the team. Im not expecting gold glove level play, but I would expect more athleticism

    If you do come to Auckland, please do let me know. It is beautiful here, and there also isn't BREAKING NEWS every single second of every single day. It's been incredible for my anxiety in that sense.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    You know what, I'll take that bet. If I lose, come to New Zealand and I'll buy you a beer :)
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    And Jenkins
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I do think Buxton moving to a corner next season also could be a topic of conversation. For this year, hopefully he can get to where his hip feels good enough where he can hit
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I think Kreidler can absolutely be your 25th or 26th man. I like his defense at least at SS and in cf. But yeah, Culpepper and Jenkins coming up covers those spots better than they currently have on the major league team. Still figuring out where Roden fits. Not certain he does yet
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Jenkins just doubled. 3-4 today.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Yup, bring up your guys for this year, and with what Tom said he would do as far as upping the payroll, do whatever you can to improve the lineup too
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Then use prospect capital, for real, and target someone they like.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I wish
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Yup, and if Tom is right about upping the payroll, getting a true middle of the order bat will be imperative
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t know if that necessarily means Lewis is done. I don’t see Larnach or Bell back though
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    That’s fine. They need someone who can really be a #3 or #4 hitter as much as anything. They don’t have that today. Maybe they trade for someone else instead. But getting a middle of the order bat is a necessity before next season in my opinion
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Ok, I’ll put this into the ether; Twins sign 1b/dh Yandy Diaz as a free agent. Reading that, what do you think?
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Jenkins just hit his 2nd single of the day. 2-3 so far. Culpepper coming up. Bottom of the 5th inning. Culpepper then singles and he is 2-2 with a walk today. Posting this for no reason whatsoever
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Really nice grab by Lewis at 1b. I still have hope that he can be a benefit at 1b. Who would be available to be a true Nelson Cruz clone to acquire for next season? They’ve missed his bat ever since he left
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    And if Buxton comes back and is even 80% healthy, that’ll make even more sense
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Those 2-3 months a season he has been hot, sure. Otherwise, not so much
