I don't disagree, We have to improve the catching position defense and ability to throw out runners. I'm not sure who this is but if Jeffers can get big money elsewhere let him walk.

We need to improve most at Catcher in my opinion. Both defensively and the bat. Catcher is still the Twins weakest current mlb position. In the division. Twins hands down have the weakest catching of Central division foes. I would not mind a bullpen upgrade or two either. We have what one MLB catcher right now. If I'm the Twins I let Jeffers go elsewhere.

Zero chance. Not a good idea.

Private Equity cannot not be managing partner, there has to be a lead owner, managing partner in charge. Even of there is some sort of sale I expect Tom Pohlad and his family to remain involved with Twins ownership. Just think there is part of the Pohlad clan that want's to cash out, part of their ownership share, not be involved in Twins, and or MN United ownership.

This Lewis topic has been beat to death. Let the guy rest without people talking about him for one offseason.

The money and a waste of a roster spot on Alex Jackson is an anamoly from 2026 Twins season I will never understand. When you are limited to 26 people on a roster why waste a resource on a spot where a player didn't even average 1 game a week let alone a plate appearance or pinch running spot. Poor choice to evef add or keep. He Jackson was rarely ever used. If your gonna do that have it be a rotational spit between 3 to 4 AAA guys.

We do not seem particularly loaded with 1st base prospects. Sabato isn't a big league player even with small sample size. The fact they didn't promote until end of season shows he has no defensive position. First base may be Clemens best defensive position. Royce seems decent at 2nd base, not sure why he was reluctant to play there.

Totonto has had a lot of injuries this season, particularly Springer and Vlad jr.

Jenkins defensively seems like he has the potential to be a solid to really good glove guy. He just needs experience and more mature strength as a hitter. Jenkins is only 21 after all. His swing reminds me of Mauer and he has that smooth consistent motion.

Tampa Bay has a large group of Scouts, player developments guys and systems in place, especially International scouts. This is the franchise to emulate and try and copy not the Athletics which seems to be the direction the Twins are headed in, which is relying on a lot of AI or analytic information. While that software is helpful the predictive models cannot measure baseball players will, or desire to win championships. Ai cannot predict health, having a good eye, above average rate steals, bunting ability, or a players mind to compete with above average outcomes. Most of what AI predictive models would beable to tell is health and physical attriibutes like growth in height or weight. Not able to project if a player can hit a curve or play multiple positions especially with limited data sets to view or study.

Baldelli, good chance he is Mets next manager no?

Lucky hit by the Giants, pitch actually jammed the hitter.

Does this move mean Buxton moves to 60 day IL.

Prielep pitched well tonight, deserved the win. He has been alright as a starter. Every time I watch him even live, his stuff, mentality, the pitch selection they have him use screams closer to me. Hell I don't know exactly why I think that. In a jam seems like Prieliep is a guy who can pitch you out of a mess or get a needed strike out. Prielip fastball and movement on his curve, makes me think he has OG legit end of game stopper potential. Enough of the magic stuff to be electric and a finisher to end games. What do I know though, ail I am is ust a fan. Just what I think when I watch Conner pitch. Maybe he will develop 8n to a great starting pitcher too. I like he is a lefty, reminds me of Aroldis Chapman some.

That wrist must have been bothering him for a,bit if time. Tried to play through it the pain and less mobility to help the team so I will give Trevor Larnaxh credit fir that. Only made sense when they were in playoff contention.
