    Isnt there about $100k wiggle room? If, then $350k isn’t that much to short 4/5 guys….

    He had surgery 7 weeks ago. Can he even be traded?

    Jenkins, Lackey, KC in any particular order right now seems fair. Lackey is the only one of the 3 that will be in the list a year from now and that may be short lived.

    It would seem that lots of players are untouchable up until a great offer comes along. The current team development would suggest they are building to be competitive long term starting in 27/28. We need to load up on pitching and be prudent in trading off assets when the best return is available. The current squad is a little exciting but underwhelming for the most part. Its time to build for the future!

    The organization needs to commit one way or the other. Either they want a long term competitive team (which means not selling prospects) or they sell prospects for a shorter competitive window. Our window isn’t even open now except for the tunnel vision of a horrible American League full of non competitive teams just like us. Yeah, let’s sell the future to be the best of the worst in ‘26.
  26. Fatbat
    @LyleCole The Twins have the prospect assets to field a long time competitive team as soon as next season. It may be the best long term strategy to sell Jeffery, Ryan, Bell and Larnach to go even younger and deeper. No idea what Zoll has cooking and what budget constraints he has to work with so it is a wait and see. It would not be a huge surprise to see the organization hoard more prospects and go thru another no post season now and look for a fresh start under the new collective bargaining agreement.

    As much as anyone, I want a deep playoff run but this is not the season for it. Bring up the kids and live thru the ups and downs. If they catch fire like Evan Carter did a few years back, we will still have an entertaining post season and it wont cost us a dime of prospect capital. Sell something to get more pitching depth but don’t give away future assets.

    Agreed! As long as the right guys are making the right decisions, the organization can/will flourish! The past few drafts have been very good and hiring Shelty seems like it’s working. Hopefully player development takes a leap and gets these kids to shine in MLB!
  31. Fatbat
    Selling Ryan this offseason or Lopez a year from now will bring the $ 140M down alot! 2 years out 7/28, I would expect both Ryan and Lopez will be gone but I sure hope they are still here!

    T. Pohlad just talked to the press about the team strategy on building upon this years mediocre success and future plans. He isn’t coaching up players but he is definitely working with Zoll on a daily basis on the business of player acquisition and organizational structure. T.Pohlad is not considered a hands off owner.

    This definitely reminds me of the waves of talent in the mid 80s. The past 4-5 drafts have gotten top tier talent into the pipeline. IF most of these guys stick in MLB, we will compete in a money ball scenario. Like LK, we can root for Lackey to be on the fast track to MLB. The depth in MiLB has its own depth n Mendez, Winokur, Tinney, Diaw and others. What we need is for ownership to not mess up the future!
  36. Fatbat
    Well that’s an obvious statement….
