    Seeing how the Twins have another 4 years of control of him, we are probably 2 years away from any real trade talk involving him.

    Notably, Travis Adams has gone 8 scoreless innings in a row... I'm glad they haven't given up on the kid. He's the type of guy to gives chances to, not a DFA pickup. Also, I feel like Roden deserves some credit for putting the ball in play even if the opposing team flubbed it up, even though it counts against his batting average that's better than striking out.

    Looks like Sands is ready to go.

    Well, it was fun while Kreidler was hitting over .700 OPS, but it was never going to last.

    Woo Suk Go has been optioned to AAA, the accompanying move has not been announced yet.
  6. Danchat
    Probably 3-4 innings from Paredes and 2-3 from Rojas would be my guess.

    Halpy had 0 HRs in his MLB career coming in... thanks Joe!
  8. Danchat
    Well then. That was a rancid first time through the order against a fairly mediocre Cleveland lineup.

    I don't mind moving a handful of these prospects whose value that I have many questions about - more specifically in my opinion Rodriguez and Tait. Just depends what the return is, this team should not be buying any rentals but if they can find the next Pablo Lopez / Sonny Gray / Kenta Maeda trade, then pull the trigger with one of these prospects. Flip a couple major league assets for something, whether that be a AAA failed starter and try to turn into a reliever or a lottery ticket. Moving Rojas doesn't make sense to me. The farm system has had a lot of pitching talent graduate and there are going to be fewer arms coming up for 2027-28, they need him whether it be as a starter or reliever.

    And just like that, Roden now has 4 career sac flies - the same amount Joey Gallo had in his entire 10 year career! I like wheeling that fun fact out whenever I can.
  11. Danchat
    Not to mention that Gray would probably really want to avoid burning his final option this year, he is a lot less valuable on a 40 man roster next year if he's out of options.
  12. Danchat
    He would have been traded for if he were pitching decent, he has a 1.5 WHIP with a terrible 6.1 BB/9 and 4.1 K/9. He hasn't pitched well since he was with us last year, since his Rangers stint went rather poor too.
  13. Danchat
    2 HRs from Clemens off two different LHPs... didn't see that coming.

    Sounds like Joey Bosa is retiring, or at least won't play in 2026. Tyreek had the Teddy Bridgewater dislocated knee and probably won't be healthy until 2027 and probably won't be the same player he was. Cornerback is such a volatile position, Lattimore and Diggs were terrible last year and it seems like really good CBs can fall off at age 28/29. A la Xavier Rhodes being a top 5 CB for 2 years and then by age 29 became a shell of his former self. Diggs, Allen, and Samuel can still be WR2s and will sign when they want to, there seems to be a tier of veteran player who is assumedly going to get a 1 year deal, so they wait it out and skip spring/summer practices. Speaking of old edge rushers, both Von Miller and Cameron Jordan had 9+ sacks in 2025 despite both being 36 years old. Jordan hit 10.5!

    Why on earth would the Yankees move Headrick while he's got an 1.55 ERA with the most innings pitched in their pen in the midst of a playoff run? All that for 2 months of Arraez? The Giants would be getting away with a crime with a return like that, not too dissimilar to the Nelson Cruz to the Rays trade.
  16. Danchat
    Last I heard: My expectation is that he'll sign somewhere to be a starting receiver in the next month, unless something comes out about one of his multiple civil cases. Knowing NFL teams, this isn't enough to blacklist him.
  17. Danchat
    Sure, I know we want to avoid making the Jorge Lopez trade again, but this rationale would have killed the Jays acquiring Varland last year.
  18. Danchat
    They're still likely going to protect him at that point, even if he isn't ready to play in 2028. They protected Emmanuel Rodriguez when he was turning 21 and hadn't jumped up to AA yet. Yeah, Tait being such a long ways away was why I wasn't a big fan of the Duran trade. I underestimated Abel, but Tait was 18 at the time of the trade and he's so far away from playing, all of the rankings putting him up so high aren't as meaningful when there is so much time for things to go wrong. And who knows if he sticks at catcher.
  19. Danchat
    I don't know if anyone is saying that, the point was that Roden has something like 600 PAs at AAA at around .950 OPS, there was no point in trading for him if they were just going to keep him playing needlessly in the minors. Sands had a setback and his rehab stint was canceled, last I heard. The thing is, they've essentially had Outman or Fedko clogging up a bench spot already when Shelton has shown very little interest in playing either. The solution is simple - stash Jackson until the deadline and things will sort themselves out - either Jeffers is traded, or if he stays put then they probably trade Jackson for a very small return. Or one of the three get hurt and they don't make any trades. By the time the deadline is over, they will have 2 catchers no matter the scenario.
  20. Danchat
    Looks like Fedko is right back where he left off at AAA... but thanks to his 20 PAs in the majors, there will be no faith from the fans in him if he ever gets called up again.
  21. Danchat
    That seems reasonable, but looking into Coulombe's stats this year... he's been every bit as bad as Funderburk. Kody has a gross 5.9 K/9 to a 6.3 BB/9, but Coulombe is somehow at 4.1 K/9 to 6.1 BB/9. Yikes!
  22. Danchat
    Uh, is this a serious quote? It's the first time they've ever went BPA? Wouldn't they argue they went BPA at #3?
  23. Danchat
    Abel plus moving Tait for a quality starter in exchange for Duran would be a pretty good return, given Abel can stay healthy. Moving Duran for multiple MLB level starters wouldn't be possible otherwise.
  24. Danchat
    With a 40 man spot open, I have no problems claiming a 26 year old with 3 option years left. Stop having him pitch 3-4 innings at a time and see what happens when he's a one inning only reliever. Seems like he is an AAAA arm, but his career numbers at AAA aren't that good to begin with. Probably a guy who gets DFA'd in a month or two.
  25. Danchat
    If there's belief that Tinney sticks at catcher, maybe they can use Tait as a premium trade chip in the future? Not that I don't believe in Tait, it's just that other teams are usually lacking with catcher depth and now they've invested into it heavily. Maybe something like doing the next version of the Sonny Gray / Pablo Lopez trade and using Tait as the main prospect with the anticipation of Joe Ryan being traded sooner or later.
