    They don't have to fill next year's holes before August 1. They have an offseason to figure out moves otherwise. And really, who's to say Royce Lewis isn't the right handed hitting outfielder next year right? As far as pitching, there is hope of Paddack coming back. Maeda and Gray can be given the QO (the way Maeda looked last night, why not?) and otherwise, there is decent depth that is already at AA, so they can plan around that. I want this deadline to help the 2023 team first and foremost. If they do add a player or players controlled in 2024, that's icing on the cake.

    Things have a way of working themselves out. But yes, Julien will stay up. There is no other answer

    I mean, Goldschmidt would be incredible. But I don't know that they would trade him or that he would even waive his no trade. Jordan Hicks would be fun in the bullpen. Tommy Edman could be a 3b option, at least until Lewis can play. I wouldn't mind that either.

    The Phillies made the world series last year off an 87 win regular season. Heck, the Twins won the world series in 1987 off of 85 wins, a -20 run differential, and would have been 5th in the AL east that season (good thing they were in the West.) You get into the playoffs, and you have good pitching, you have a chance. No reason to scoff otherwise. It's been true forever.

    I'd be all for this if it were just a video game we were playing. But I can't imagine the value you would get back would help this season or next more than what Gray would help with the team in August/September/Playoffs as well as how he contributes (coaches really) in the clubhouse. You want to completely lose your clubhouse and all the good work you have done on the pitching side, be my guest. I'll prefer to try to win with the pitching rotation we have assembled here.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Actually, good point about the 87 team. They had -20 run differential for the year, and they only added Don Baylor at the deadline. He was good, but not Goldschmidt good. Maybe the same thing can happen again :)

    Did we quit after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!?!

    This post would have been perfect in February 1988 had the internet been around
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't buy that Gray starts game one in a playoff series for this team at all. Not for one second. It'd be Lopez or possibly Ryan 100%.

    If you search Webster's dictionary for "what is a typical Twitter interaction, about the Twins, with someone with Vikings in their bio" this is it :)

    Of the two at this point I would vote Gallo goes first. Kepler at least provides defense, and IF he could play CF that would certainly help the team and cement his roster spot. I'm not at all certain that either Wallner or Larnach are the answer. But Gallo and Kepler haven't been the answer up to this point either. Depending on what they do, it's always possible that Lewis or Julien or Kirilloff play some corner outfield as well right? Maybe not Julien, but it's at least worth considering the idea to keep his bat in the lineup. I do hope they are flexible with roster changes, and I also hope that they add a bat in the next few weeks prior to the deadline.

    It's fun how you pick Correa for lvp when the other 3 players you list all have negative fwar and he doesn't. Hopefully he is feeling better from his plantar fasciitis asap. I'd imagine his numbers will course correct over time.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I think the Twins need to add a solid bat prior to the deadline. Whoever that is, at least show they are open to adding. If it is a big name player like this, the fit will work.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    David Robertson would be great to have here. Sign me up.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Good thing they have Lopez, Ryan, Ober, Varland and Paddack ready for the start of 2024, along with a whole lot of time to make trades or sign a free agent while letting their pitching develop right?
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I would like to nominate this post for both a Nobel prize and spot in the Lourve in Paris. It is absolutely perfect
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    IF they are going under slot, I would hope for about 8 or 10 other guys before Gonzalez. Why not Chase Davis or one of the next level of college pitchers (Dollander, Lowder, Waldrep) or Tommy Troy or Kyle Teel? All of them are vastly more exciting than Gonzalez in my opinion, and all would still come with a bit of a discount right?
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    It’s fun to dream :)

    I'll throw out a name that would work well here. Lamonte Wade Jr, I know he is a former Twin, but man is he having a career year with the Giants. I'm curious what he would cost in terms of a trade.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm hoping for one of Crews/Langford/Skenes to fall to 5, but otherwise Clark or Jenkins would be great. I don't really want to reach too much, and his bat/potential is very exciting.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    It's up to the front office to figure that out. My expectation as a fan is that they put a strong team, on paper, together. I can totally see Royce being the CF even next year, but there are options. But I do think letting it play out and letting guys earn roles, and/or figuring out what guys aren't able to do (so trading/acquiring other guys) would be on the docket come December/January.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I would hope they find someone that can be out there if they don't trust what they have in house. Honestly the Twins have been one of the more aggressive teams both at the deadline and in the offseason across baseball. I'd prefer to worry about and add to the 2023 team in July 2023, and then with a lot of salary space this offseason figure out the 2024 team 100% at that time. That's all. I do not want to sell at the deadline here, that's all I meant. But there is a LOT of time between now and opening day 2024 right? That's all I meant.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Good thing this is the one and last time that they can either develop players, sign free agents or make trades at any point between now and forever right?
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't see any way that they are out of it come the end of this month. I'm expecting a reliever and probably a bat to add, depending on how players perform between now and then. I don't see selling as an option.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    This article feels way too early to decide on. Funny that it was put out day(s) after Martin's first hit in AAA.
