    More than that. At 26 yo, a fully recovered TJ arm and the talent to get outs. There is-no risk to the twins and no roster crunch.
  2. Fatbat
    Down the road if he tanks but there isn’t a 40 man squeeze in November. Im sure we scoured the waiver wire and signed exactly zero other cast offs from 31 other teams. He will be around for awhile.
  3. Fatbat
    Carmargo has options and is a young controllable catcher that can mash. He has value, even if its low because of almost no MLB experience.
  4. Fatbat
    He has zero MLB experience and 26 yo. Coming back from an injury and has a chance to make the MLB roster out of spring training. His stuff plays in the high minors and his mlb salary will be minimum. I can’t think of a single reason to dump Canterino in NOV.
  5. Fatbat
    Varland is still around because he is young, cheap, controllable and may end up in the pen. Thielbar is a free agent and will likely retire. Don’t count on him coming back. looking at the 40 man on MLB.com today, their isn’t many more to cut unless they would jettison Helman and they decided to keep Alcala by picking up his option year. Right now it looks like they have plenty of room to add Raya and 2-3 more young guys and sign a FA or 2 but I seriously doubt they will be signing anyone as soon as FA lights the green light.

    I would hope that Lee and the FO get together on a contract like that. Do one with Lewis also. As far as playing in a certain position, thats probably a fluid situation depending on the health of several teammates as well as if Keaschall knocks the door down and arrives in May ‘25 to MLB. Lee is worth more than Julien and LK could quickly be worth more than Julien and Miranda. starting lineup in game #1? Lee at 3rd, C4 at SS, Lewis at 2nd, Miranda at 1st. Julien at DH. Or some sort of position shuffle/shuffle? the position options/configurations are endless with Castro/Martin/LK in the mix. Do not expect a trade to be made. The FO is going to double down on staying in house and promoting young guys. We are gonna be thee money ballers.

    There are better prospects than Severino. Do you really want Dobnak and Duarte et al on the 40 man? I don’t.
  8. Fatbat
    Positive WAR is really all the matters.
  9. Fatbat
    Can’t argue with that.
  10. Fatbat
    How does moving him from 3rd to 1st screw him up?
  11. Fatbat
    I’m surprised there wasn’t another name or two on the list. We just became a better team and we haven’t even replaced them yet.
  12. Fatbat
    It doesn’t look great on paper now but what if his defensive skill growth is adequate and he is a monster at the plate. Would he look better on paper with a 2.4 fWar in ‘25 after starting 140 games at 1B?
  13. Fatbat
    82 wins is a stumble to the finish. A melt down in closer to 70 wins. In ‘24, we were closer to a 90 win team until aug 20th. the FO is going to try running back the pre aug ‘24 team minus the meltdown.
  14. Fatbat
    The FO isn’t making a trade unless they have a complete meltdown of a season in ‘25. Probably only a 3% chance of that happening because of the growth of young talent. The Twins simply ran out of gas in ‘24 so they just need to add more fuel for ‘25. Margot and Farmer did nothing for us so replacing just 2 guys could change everything. I honestly don’t see any way that we trade away any pitchers. Lopez is the Ace they we are building around. Ryan and Ober are co#2. If you thought last offseason was slow, Get ready for big nothing moments and another wave of prospects joining the existing core.
  15. Fatbat
    Several guys in the high minors that may be ready for an injury call up. Canterino, Priellip, Raya etc
  16. Fatbat
    All good points but the salaries are so low that if you DFA Tonkin or Stewart, someone will claim them. Topa is only a 40 man issue and will be off that if he goes back on the 60 Il list.
  17. Fatbat
    How do 3 guys taking up $4M in cap space clog up payroll let alone the 40 man roster? 2 of them coming back from injury but when healthy, produce +WAR. How many Jeff Hoffmans do you want playing elsewhere?
  18. Fatbat
    Tender all 3 we never have enough pitching.
  19. Fatbat
    A very sad day.
  20. Fatbat
    I love the Harris comparison! Enma has that advanced patience that may set him up to have a monster spring so if he does, he will be the in the bigs most of ‘25.
  21. Fatbat
    For what we pay him, he is an asset. Best case is he is healthy and tears it up in April and May. Worst case, Pohlads are out $2M and still have an underperforming player under contract. They have made way worse investments!
  22. Fatbat
    Thats when the plan comes together and we win a ton of games!
  23. Fatbat
    Erod and Keascall will most definitely be in the bigs in ‘25. Some guys ahead of them just don’t have the ceiling that they do. Jenkins will have to find a few more refined hit tools to get to the show in ‘25. Is it possible? Sure, but probs not enough until September and thats OK if he makes an Arozerena type impact in Sept ‘25.

    Pay the farmer buyout, pay castro and a rookie contract and you are money and production ahead in ‘25 compared to ‘24. Easy math.
