    Ryan: Only if it is a terrific offer. They don't have to move him. Jeffers: Yes. Ober, Larnach, Bell. Sure, if someone is buying. Clemens: Why? He is under control for years and is dirt cheap. If someone offers something good, sure, but no reason to shop him. Wallner: Maybe, if the offer is decent. Rental bullpen pieces: Sure, if anyone wants them.

    I would want Culpepper moved up, Houston to AAA if he does well at AA, and get some of the freakin' outfielders healthy and up getting MLB experience. We MUST find out whether the OF's are players or pretenders at some point. And let the trading begin (again).

    The better team won the games. We gave them a bit of a run on 2/3 games, but realistically they are likely to win the vast majority of games. They are just deeper and much more talented. Not complicated.

    Ohtani does not appear to be ill. Man, his arm is so lively. 102 just comes off his hand seemingly effortlessly. He is throwing at least 5mph faster than Ryan. In a different class entirely.
  5. SteveLV
    Only one of these teams is actually good.......

    Why isn't Fedko in the lineup vs. a lefty????
  7. SteveLV
    Notwithstanding his 2 GS's, I think Mr. Gray is on thin ice at this point. When Culpepper returns to health, that might be the end for him on the MLB roster.....

    Looking at potential trade targets for the Twins at the deadline, and paging our resident C experts to solicit opinions of this player. Thanks.

    Doc, I agree with 100% of what you wrote. But there has been zero reporting--at least that I have seen--suggesting the Twins FO has approached Jeffers or Ryan with extensions. So, based on that, it suggests they are not going to extend either player. In that case, trade Jeffers and listen on Ryan. Obviously you don't need to trade Joe Ryan, but if someone blows you away, you probably need to pull that trigger too if you are not going to extend him.
  10. SteveLV
    Jeffers has a long track record of above average O production from the C position and should be a solid trade piece when he returns. The Yankees have some interesting prospects to take a look at if they want to get Jeffers, and would be in excellent position to sign him to an extension, too. Makes sense.

    It is kinda bizarre to watch a couple games where the Twins are making the D plays and the opponent is full of gaffes. Just so much extra work, pitches and pressure on the opposing Pitchers.

    Jenkins homers on first AB with the Kernels. Hope he becomes as great as we all hope!!!
  13. SteveLV
    Minor league DL is only 7 days, so hopefully it is neither serious or long-lasting.
  14. SteveLV
    Re-signing Ryan is not happening. 1) The Twins FO has shown no appetite for such a deal' 2) There is zero reporting they have even approached him; 3) There is zero evidence or logic as to why Ryan would want to re-sign with this team; 4) He would/should command a HUGE return at the trade deadline that would dovetail with the Twins projected window; 5) I am not even sure if it is even smart for a mid-market team to spend big money on a 30 year old SP. The risks are ginormous and the Twins can't afford to take that kind of risk. And I love Ryan as a player.
  15. SteveLV
    Package for Ryan would have been my idea. Or Lopez this winter.
  16. SteveLV
    Wish we had traded for Bryce Eldridge. Guy is raking with a .953 OPS so far with the Giants. I totally agree with the philosophy of giving MLB playing time to young players to let them sink or swim. This obsession with older players and trying to extract value is tiresome and does not lend itself to hope for the future for us fans. Fedko, Roden, ERod, GG, and Jenkins all need some run when they get healthy. They have started to cast off the driftwood like Outman and Arcia. Just need to finish the house cleaning.
  17. SteveLV
    Still should bring up Fedko or Gonzalez. Or both.
  18. SteveLV
    This Season appears to be well-cursed.
  19. SteveLV
    ....and Culpepper and Fedko, too.

    Cardinals have the best jerseys in all of pro sports.

    But.....I thought we were going to be competitive? Like I said on Friday afternoon, this series is a good litmus test. The Twins failed. Time for Culpepper, a couple young OF's, and get the trade machine warmed up. The Fat Lady is in the middle of the song and it is time to change over this entire roster. Now, while you still have a few fans left that care.
  22. SteveLV
    Like I posted earlier, this series is a good litmus test for the balance of the season. The Tigers are not good, but if they beat up the Twins we are confirmed to be non-competitive and can go forward for the balance of the season recognizing that reality. Trade Ryan (if they don't/can't/are unable to extend him), trade Jeffers, trade Larnach, trade Buxton if he wants out, and call up all the youngsters and let them have an extended chance to get MLB experience and see if they can play at this level. Think 1982 Twins. If you are going to lose a lot of games, let it be with the young players that might potentially have a future instead of this land of misfit toys filled with old never-will-be players. I daresay the fans would rather watch that product that the existing one....
  23. SteveLV
    I think this series will have an impact on the looming trade deadline. Drop 2 or 3 to the Tigers and we slide into the depths of the mediocre Central and can start looking to the future.... Sweep and there is a glimmer of hope.
  24. SteveLV
    This is simple: Either extend Ryan or trade him IF the value is there. They don't have to trade him, so you only do so if you feel you are getting excellent trade compensation. There is ZERO indication the Twins FO wants to---or has even tried--to extend Ryan. So listen to offers and if they are blown away, do the deal. Ryan's starts for this team for the balance of 2026 are going to be largely meaningless. and 2027 is in labor dispute limbo for now. And if MLB actually gets some labor agreement with sanity injected, the Twins can extend their young players and go from there.
  25. SteveLV
    I sincerely wonder if Wallner makes either of those plays.
