I think he meant he prefers Keasch in LF and Roden in RF. Both are in the lineup.

Easy to spend Pohlad money: 1) Sign Jeffers 2) Extend Ryan 3) Extend Lopez 4) Give Jenkins one of those 8 year deals. 5) Add additional pitching. See? Easy!

Bell getting night off.

Add Roden. Subtract Kreidler. They love Clemens, so expect to see him in a big role again. Martin is on thin ice at this point.

Glad we "acquired" assets at the Trade Deadline for our "Playoff Run" so we could be competitive with teams like the Yankees..... This FO/Ownership is so out of touch with baseball reality it is actually sad.

Only options seem to be LF, 1B or DH. He can supplant Lewis at 1B as far as I am concerned, but don't know if he can field that position either.

I actually think if they can emulate the NFL salary model with full revenue sharing it will ENHANCE the media rights in 2028. Sure going to be a LOT more interest from ALL the markets with the new parameters. Also curiosity as to how it would all work out.

Why on earth would a team as needy as the Twins part ways with a young player who has never had an AB in the majors? The premise of this article is absurd, IMO.

My bad on Kremer. For some reason I thought he had another year. I can take him or leave him unless the price is modest.

I am fine with Ober, but not at $8M. If he would sign for half that, sure. Lewis will be a decision after Spring Training. If he doesn't turn it around, gonzo. Larnach will not be tendered, IMO. Bell, he is an average DH who cannot help at all defensively. Meh. Martin, see Lewis above. Kremer is under contract, and they appear to like his stuff. He is a depth SP. Rogers will not be re-signed, IMO. Jeffers should be offered a contract but will walk in FA. Caratini? Trade him is someone wants him. Poor signing. Jackson, who knows? Backup C I guess. Kreidler can't hit. Ross should be given a chance in Spring Training. Hard to believe he could hit worse than Kreidler. Gabby Gonzalez? Who knows? Spring Training audition for 1B/DH. ERod should get at least half a season at MLB to see what he can do. At least he can field. Hope he stays on the field. Wallner? I would like to see him in Spring Training competing for DH. This is not a good roster, folks.

It's over. It was over at the trade deadline but the FO was delusional. Get ERod up. Treat the last 16 games as early Spring Training. Stop giving playing time to players that have no future on this team (or any other).

I will be stunned if Jeffers gets anything less than a $60M offer. I think it will be closer to $80M. C's are scarce, and C's that can hit are even scarcer. He will get paid.

I would rather be paying $23M to Jeffers to play C for the Twins than $10M to Correa to play 3B for the Astros. Just sayin'.

Here's a concept: Sign him to an extension. He likes the Twins, so pay the man like he deserves and end all the drama and angst. He is a good, home-grown player. Ryan, on the other hand, wants to go home to California so should be traded in the off season. And if the FO cannot or will not extend Jeffers, it was criminal negligence not to trade him before the trade deadline this year.

....and also eliminate the Dodgers' unique, sweetheart revenue deals that were because of owner's divorce 15 years ago. Ridiculous that this is still a thing. NFL model is the gold standard. Raise minimum salary substantially. Raise salary for MiLB players, too. True, 100% financial disclosure. True, 100% revenue sharing except concessions and novelty sales. Need strong leadership to make this happen. Never will.
