  1. I like him better as a set up man for the new stud closer we're going to sign this off season......fingers crossed.
  2. 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.
  3. 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,,,,,,
  4. Only way I'd want to trade him is if we can get 2 'just about ready' starting pitchers in return. Wouldn't mind to see Pohlad demonstrate his 'go big or go home' demonstrated by signing him to an extension instead.
  5. I want to add one - Victor Caratini. If we can't get Jeffers back for next year - we're going to have a hole consuming $10M behind home plate for 100 games next year. Based on his 2026 production, he's going to have to step up his game a LOT in 2027 to be close to his salary in value.
  6. I expect when the time eventually comes to trade Ryan, we'll need to get 1 or 2 almost ready for the major starters in return.
  7. Pretty sure I expect a worse pitching staff next season in regards to whats next.
  8. I think another way of saying it is that the Twins have the fans they deserve. They do things like try to contract a team, annually place profits over winning, and rarely field a competitive team that brings their customers (fans) joy - what kind of fans do they expect to have?
  9. Well - here's his chance. I know the last name says not to get my hopes up, but its too late for that. I'm worried the lock out will be too easy to blame if they do hold back and don't be as aggressive as I would prefer, but hopefully he recognizes this may be his family's last shot to keep fans that care about his product.
  10. Joining this thread late, so excuse me if already written - but I fully expect Maki to be signed as the pitching coach for a contender next year. Of all the problems this team has, I don't think he's one of the biggest ones.
  11. $165M - wasn't that where we were at the last time we had a successful season in 2023? Need to be at least there or we haven't met expectations. Jeffers (yes, I know unlikely), a starter, a reliever or 2, and a 1B/DH.
  12. Sure, why not - let him get some saves for his career trophy case and possibly get us a better draft pick.
  13. I think its really this simple - not exciting at all, but perhaps workable until Lackey is ready to come up.....Hope the youngster learns quickly. Oh - and try to sign Jeffers on the qualifying offer, then can let Jackson go.
  14. It would be foolish to not have him start 2027 on the major league club IF he's healthy. Others in the organization can be put on hold for a bit as we need to see what we've got with him. Pretty simple for me. Let go of Larnach, Gabby can still be in AAA, not sure if Rodon has options, but hopefully he will.
