    A five tool OF bat or an Ace pitcher. Just as long as they don't draft yet another SS. They literally draft 10 middle Infielders every year, and yet they have no one who can field the position.

    The Twins literally draft 10 middle infielders every year, ad nauseum. How is it that we never have anyone who can field the positions? We knew the BP was going to suck. Not trading/signing someone is a disgrace to the team & fans!

    Hmm, for all that excellent pitching we traded away, weren't we supposed to get some good, young, potential stars in return? The only player of note we got was the 18 yr. old catcher - and he is still a long shot. The whole rest of the catch is crappies & sunfish - no Walleyes. So now we scrape the bottom of the barrel, yet again.

    Won't be up this year unless everyone gets hurt. Maybe a Sept call-up.

    Should have sold high. Now every game will be turned over to a bad bullpen down 6 runs.

    How is the "new " guy going to beelegible for the rule 5 draft next year if he was drafted.in 2023?

    Are they actually going to get a good outfield or 1B prospect for Larnach/Wallner and a minor league arm? Possibly. Matthews & SWR show promise, best to keep for now and the rest of the "close to ready" monor league arms are.gping to have to make up the bulk of the bullpen. Who is going to be setup and closer is anyones guess. But the Pen went from a solid strength to complete vaccumn. Seeing as top.closwrs ate now signing for 13-20M, we are pretty screwed. We had 3 solid guys for about $5M total last year. Never.going to see that again!

    It's heat to have another weapon in the arsenal. Probably best to throw the kick change when ahead in the count.

    If Houston pays much of his salary, heck yeah!

    We draft a dozen middle infielders every year, yet don't have a passable starting SS. Draft a 5 tool RH outfield bat for once! Aaron Judge was the last pick in the 1st round! Pick OF & stud pitchers with ALL of your picks. This SS are the best athletes crap does not pan out! The ones we have picked aren't even good middle infielders, let alone power OF bats. It's Baseball, not a decathlon, you need specific skillsets.

    Full rebuild? So far the only potentially real prospect we got for all of the previous trades was the 18 yr.old catcher. Even if we get anybody worthwhile for our 3 remaining quality players, what good will that do if A) they are years away & B) there is no money to build a team around them? Do they expect to have a 26 man roster of young All Stars all making league minimum? Absurd! MLB is doomed as a league without full and equal revenue sharing and hard salary caps.

    The Twins won't spend what it takes to compete. What player in his right .ind would sign with them or any of the dozen or so "minor league" franchises in this league? I'll say it again, MLB , as a league, is doomed without complete revenue sharing and hard caps like the NFL. This has to get done. The owners need to wake up and quit pretending. Fans will not support this any longer.

    The Twins traded a top closer, who's contract was less than $3M. Top free agent closers are now going for 17 & 23M $$. That is twice the cost of the entire Twins bullpen! A bullpen that likely will be close to league minimum next year. No amount of "Competitive draft picks" (Colorado has 3 of the top 40 draft picks) will solve this inequality problem for MLB. The league is doomed to fail without complete revenue sharing and hard salary caps - player salaries be dammed, notwithstanding! Owners can lower ticket prices to keep revenue and salary percentages in line. What a concept! There is no way half the teams in the league can compete, why would any top players want to play for them??

    What did we actually get for all the trades we made? A couple of no name outfielders, 3 pitchers, none of whom are likely to be an ace. The only player I like is the young catcher, but he is only 18 and 3 years away at least. If you are trading top flyte players players like Buxton, Lopez, Ryan you have to get 2 bona fide good chance to be a star players in return. Otherwise, why are you doing it? Trading a star for "gee I hope the guy we get might someday be as good" makes zero sense. You trade a star when you already have someone as good or better to replace him, not the other way round.

    Invite him.to spring training on a minor league deal.. If he is a 200 hitter with a high K rate & can't field his position, oh well. If he bats 250 with a decent K to W rate and can field his position - maybe he's the comeback player of the year. Have the Twins had any triple plays since the 3 he started? At this point we have no one. Clemmons is a backup at best and we have no one even pushing him for the job.
