    I'd love to try and send some pitching to the Rockies in exchange for Goodman. Their pitching woes last season were well documented, while Goodman is only passable receiving the ball - I think he can hit as well as Jeffers and hopefully can be coached up behind the plate. It feels to me he'll have enough years of arbitration eligibility left to be our top catcher until Lackey is ready to roll. Then we can trade him just like we could have done with Jeffers.

    Sounds perfect -make it happen. Side note - I think I'd be fine with Jackson being our 2nd catcher - great pop time.

    It doesn't scare me that he may not make the opening day roster - its only a matter of time before an injury takes away one of our MLB outfielders and then it will be his turn to show us we should never send him back down.

    Arraez is fine -but I'd not pay much for him if I were running the Twins. He can play 2nd and 1st. We have people who can play 2nd, and I'd prefer a hitter with big power playing first. No disrespect to the player, but not the type of addition I'd like to see our money spent on.

    I don't like penciling him as our full time 1st because his ability to fill in at so many positions is his greatest asset. He has a pretty darn good bat for a utility guy, as a starter at 1st - his bat is not as much to write home about. Its OK, but only OK.

    I think the bad thing for the Twins about offering the QA is that now they've essentially told Jeffers they believe his is a $23M player.... Would he be open to taking a 2 year contract for only $15M per year after we just told him we value him at $23M?

    Nope- the Twins don't have the luxury of putting someone on their bench that can't field a position.

    Hey - Since you brought up Gallo - did his pitching career after the Twins ever go anywhere? I'd take Gallo as a pitcher before I considered bringing Pagan back. Vet minimum and if he's awful (likley) then let him go in spring training.

    Just no....sometimes its just best to leave the past in the past and leave it there....There are other options for the pen.

    You're right - his projections are all over the place! I was full speed ahead on offering him the QA until I saw the Athletic's projection, not I'm not so sure... I want him on the Twins for at least 1 more year - would probably be ok with 2 for Jeffers and Lackey to be our pair in 2028. But now, knowing how much the QA is, and knowing what projection systems are saying - I hope we can find a way to make it work. Caratini as our lead catcher is not a great solution.

    Another example about how the Twins keep telling the fans they want to win, but the off the field talent (such as scouting and analytics) required to allow them to win, are not invested in.
  32. farmerguychris
    I like him better as a set up man for the new stud closer we're going to sign this off season......fingers crossed.
  33. farmerguychris
    I agree....He may be the better option to get the majority of the starts compared to Caratini, despite the payroll figures. But, neither one is going to be someone who does anything more than keep the seat warm for the future.
  34. farmerguychris
    Agreed - we don't NEED him for 4-5 years..... One more to see if Lackey can be ready by then. Plus - I think we've learned that signing 30 year old catchers for more than a year isn't a great plan. Example of Caratini and Vazquez,,,,,,

    Have to offer the QA if they want to compete in 2027. Full Stop.
