    Im intrigued by Roden getting a shot at 1B. Also, how please don’t play half the list. At all. In an MLB outfield. Its time to play the prospects. Jenkins, Erod and Gabby. Buck/Wallner and the 3 kiddos would make a nice OF rotation.
  2. Fatbat
    There is still time for that
  3. Fatbat
    Rortvelt just isnt very good. There are a lot of almost MLB catchers that can equal his production. I view Lowe as someone the Twins expected Kiriloff to become.
  4. Fatbat
    Sign them all up. Lowe at 3yrs $22M would put an end to talking about a void at 1B. Both pitchers would likely stick to the opening day roster. Easy to DFA the AAAA types.
  5. Fatbat
    Interesting deal. Gonna be 3 years til this deal swap plays out…
  6. Fatbat
    Across the roster, including these guys, the chance of a trade is low. All these guys will be back as ‘26 core players
  7. Fatbat
    Gallo was more productive at Wallner’s current age.
  8. Fatbat
    Its plausible that no outside help comes to 1B. Kody better raise his ceiling!! We need the production!! Julien can’t be counted on for much… and Lee needs to be replaced at SS asap with Culpepper. Lee and Clemons will make great bench backups sooner rather than later…. Please just go young and us diehard fans will understand the growing pains.
  9. Fatbat
    He and Buck will be the catalyst’s of a great lineup. Health will bring alot off success!!! Lewis is primed for a great ‘26!!
  10. Fatbat
    Sign up all the above and a few more. See what sticks in spring training and build something half way competitive. Conner Preillip just might be in the opening day bullpen 🤷🏼‍♂️
  11. Fatbat
    All the work that is done between games played.
  12. Fatbat
    This is a great exercise in playing a guessing game. I doubt Ryan has hit his ceiling yet and Buck is solid. He may be in the MVP talk all season long! SWR is a warrior and 💯 dedicated to improve his craft. He wont regress. Clemons is a wild card. He has his dads pitbull heart. He may just take another step and become better than average. Not sure how I would place a bet on his ‘26 success/failure rate. I believe there are a few others that may regress out of MLB in ‘26. Kiersey, Outman, Fitzgerald and a few other borderline guys may not be around long.

    Great article!! I would expect no more than 2 external guys are on the opening day roster as a bullpen guy. The FO wants it home grown and they will make it happen… for better or worse. We are going to see low budget baseball in ‘26. Player development, growing pains and a lot of exciting young players find their way or flame out.
  14. Fatbat
    I sure hope ‘26 will bring an epic rookie class to MLB. These 5 may not all be in ‘26 but to get 6-8 rookies contributing this next season is gonna be way more fun to watch than Joey Gallo types. I don’t even care if the kids win more than 80 games….
  15. Fatbat
    A lot of possibilities! It will be entertaining and frustrating if we see a ton of young guys get their shot. Could be epic. Most likely, it will get real messy. Gonna also have some great baseball going on in St. Paul. As a diehard fan, I would love to see a Twin win ROY! What I’d rather see is ALL the guys on the 26man hit their ceiling. I know thats alot to ask but geez, lets win some games in ‘26 and bring some younger guys up and put them in a position to succeed!!
  16. Fatbat
    Great pick for BP coach. They will definitely be saving some games and I hope they allow Hawk to bring in some talented arms. I know thats asking alot!
  17. Fatbat
    Circumstances are always a consideration when personnel are replaced. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I am a bit surprised Tingler didn't get Baldelli’s job.
  18. Fatbat
    It will be nice to watch Lopez again if he is healthy for a full season. Festa will probs be moved to the bullpen unless he somehow is better with the secondary pitches. Ryan isn’t going anywhere. We got alot of depth on depth and some of them will be in the pen. I doubt there will be any significant trade until we get closer to July.
  19. Fatbat
    I’d bet on neither May nor Hoskins because the payroll will be under 100M. I also don’t see any major trades. what we will see is a bunch of bullpen dudes sign for small prove it contracts and a vet C like Vasquez for about $3M. bottom of the barrel thrift shop shopping. Potential to have an epic rookie class is 💯 🏦
  20. Fatbat
    That kid is gonna be in the show at some point. Its nice to see us drafting D over hit tool finally.
  21. Fatbat
    Popkins and Varland both got ran out of town. I gave them both kudos because they are x twins, with both accomplishing more right after they left here than this FO ever thought they would. English can be a tough language…..
  22. Fatbat
    Popkins is a fine coach. He just watched Louis Varland get 4 batters out in game 6 of the World Series. His guys have had a great post season run. Anyone bashing him now is just ignorant.
  23. Fatbat
    Rocco has a winning record tho so is it really another Rocco?
  24. Fatbat
    Defense and winning matters most. Gagne was the glue that won 2 WS championships. He is a clear #1 in Twins SS history. Everyone else can be tied for #3 behind Roy Smalley. C4 is no doubt a great player but not a great Twin. There is a difference.
  25. Fatbat
    A lot of recent history between the Twins and Jays. I am rooting for them to take out the Dodgers. Gonna be a minute til the Twins can build a pennant winning club.
