There are how many other players from trades that did not impact the team for 6+ years? Nelson Cruz was an All Star at the time of the trade, Escobar was having a career year. What players could the Twins trade that are at that level?
-
So advocate for a bunt when there the next two batters went out quietly. Yes a bunt would put the runner o third for a sac fly. They might as well have 2 tries for a hit as opposed to one try for a fly

Baseball America did two articles last year on ranking teams drafting since 2012 The Twins were ranked 8th in the hitting article, 11th in pitching. Yes, the 2012 class was great. It is balanced out by the nothingness of 2013–16. The shortage of names on the list is balance out by the length of a career of a decent player

Bader and Castro are the only 2 outfielders that the team control ends at the end of the season. They would be the trade for prospects players. They may be playing well enough to get a decent prospect, that is someone with an upside more than a low leverage reliever. In all of their deadline trades Duran ad Ryan have been the only 2 who have worked out. Bader and Castro continue their success, it may well lead to a trade even if the Twins are in contention for the last wildcard spot. They might actually get their third useful piece. Yes other prospects obtained have appeared in the majors, but not as sustained success for the Twins. If they trade from their plethora of prospects it is only because the team does not think they will be long term (the controllable years) starters.

Cameron in KC has an ERA of 2 something but did get beaten up by the Yankees. Sawyer Gipson-Long just came back from TJ and was pitching to a low 4 ERA. They are ot worse than Festa. Might ot be ay higher ceiling tha Fester either

No, but there is somebody who will force you to comment on every article.

There is, it is called the click meter..

They signed about 5 free agent minor league players in the last week. All wanted their chance. The it seems like the Twins do the sed Dow after the game more than others comment is being petty. You do’t know but you accuse.

Clickbait. It worked.

The Frost are 2 for 2 on championships

McCusker does not seem to be in their plans. He is more likely than Keirsey to be sent down

Twins Déjà Vu: Is 2025 Just a Rerun, or a Rewrite?
old nurse replied to Eric Blonigen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Zebby pitched to a higher FIP last year than SWR did this year. There is hope that he will pitch better the second stint in MLB. Likely he will. -
As the head of the organization has changed and the bottom line has become more difficult to maintain it would not be unreasonable to think service time matters
-
He did not get hired to be the White Sox manager but they liked him enough to make him a special assistant in player development and scouting
-
There should be no reason other than he coulld’t learn good outfield play, what makes it possible for him to learn good if play?
-
Name the last career shortstop they developed

The manager does not make trades, he des t sed players up or down, nor does he draft or develop them. He is not the trainer nor the conditioning coach. The Twins’ problems are not anything he has control over. So no he can’t fix the problem nor could any other manager
-
That ruins the narrative.
-
Three games against one of the teams that was one of the worst drawing road teams last year really means nothing. Agenda over reality strikes again
-
Nuance is lost here when it comes to pitching. When a Twins pitcher has thrown over 80 pitches by the end of the fourth, they don’t start the fifth. At around 85, they don’t start the sixth. The upper limit on pitches seems to be 100. Paddack seems limited to 80 so far. The bullpen might have a pattern of rest depending on how many pitches thrown over a given period of time for the higher leverage relievers. That would require actual work to follow that usage. College now has very specific rules on number of pitches and days of rest. It is not unreasonable to think the Twins do not have the same.
