    Methinks Larnach was frustrated by striking out against Kirby, not because some questionable rumors were surfacing about him getting traded.
  2. Danchat
    Oof. Maybe don't throw every pitch right down the middle of the plate.
  3. Danchat
    Are you kidding me?!
  4. Danchat
    The Twins offense has been struggling lately, trading Larnach away would hurt quite a bit. Abreu would be nice, but Larnach is an everyday starter and overall the trade would make the team worse. I'm not sure I believe the report, given the source isn't said to be entirely credible.

    Rojas had been flirting with disaster for the past few outings, eventually he wasn't gonna get away with allowing so many baserunners.
  6. Danchat
    To replace whom? They traded for Kremer to replace him.
  7. Danchat
    Just checking in... getting deja vu from the other games in this series where the Mariners went up 2-0 quickly, then got to 3 runs... still waiting for the Twins to tie it up like they did the past two games.
  8. Danchat
    I would take Castillo over Kremer if you're just going by their 2026 play... but yeah, I wouldn't love trading a prospect for cooked Castillo.
  9. Danchat
    Because of course the Dodgers did. According to Fangraphs they gave up 2 top 5 prospects, MLB.com has them both in the top 7. The rich continue to get richer...
  10. Danchat
    They're intentionally walking Refsnyder with a .140 BA and .400s OPS?!
  11. Danchat
    My initial guess would be Ober gets traded, or perhaps they decide to move Ryan in the offseason after originally considering moving him at the deadline but became too competitive for that. But trading a solid prospect for Kremer does imply they plan to pay him next year... which might not be a good decision.
  12. Danchat
    Sands and Paredes have been transferred to the 60 day IL, which opens room for Minter and Kremer to join the roster. They have yet to be moved to the 26 man roster, however. Also notably, Garrett Acton is nearing the end of his rehab and will need a 40 man roster spot unless they want to DFA him.

    Garcia continues to avoid that dreaded regression! Walks don't haunt if the hitters can't hit you, I guess.
  14. Danchat
    Funny how they have a lot of former Twins on their bench, Garver, Raley, and Refsnyder.
  15. Danchat
    He didn't play for the Saints today.
  16. Danchat
    As I've said before, if Roden was just a throw-in and the trade was really only for Rojas, then trading a reliever with 4.5 years of control for a single pitching prospect was simply a dumb deal - never put all your eggs in one basket, especially when that one basket is a pitching prospect given how risky they can be.

    Read the section on him here: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/minnesota-twins-top-50-prospects/ It might be preference when ranking a guy who is so far out. Personally I'd put a guy that young lower too, but I get the logic Fangraphs is using, if it were a high schooler they drafted in late round 1 at 18/19 years old, he'd be ranked higher than #24.
  18. Danchat
    Can't say I'm a fan of this one, Reyes is one of the better international prospects in the organization of which Fangraphs ranks him #10 in the whole org (pre-2026 draft) calling him a "late first-round high school hitter" and a 45 AV prospect. MLB.com ranks him #24 which is more where I would put a guy who is only 18 years old. Kremer is a rehab project with one year of control, given he's made $5.75M this year, would he get something around $7M? That's possibly a better price than he'd get on the open market, but given Bailey Ober is in a similar spot going into Arb Year 3 and not being what he used to, I don't like it. Losing Reyes isn't a big deal, but I just don't like the return.
  19. Danchat
    I've seen him mentioned in the minor league daily reports, he's only 18 but one of our better international prospects. Fangraphs has him at 45 AV and calls him a "late first-round high school hitter."
  20. Danchat
    Uh, Kremer is a downgrade from Zebby... he has a long track record of being pretty good, but was bad enough to get optioned this year. Reyes is our #10 prospect on fangraphs and #24 on MLB.com... yup, I am not a fan.
  21. Danchat
    Cool, we don't have to wait until the 9th inning this time!
  22. Danchat
    If a 6th round pick who has barely played is their 22nd best prospect, they must have a really bad farm system. It's debatable whether he's a top 50 prospect for the Twins.
  23. Danchat
    Hard to believe we started the year with Topa and Sands as our clear cut top two relievers... yikes!
  24. Danchat
    Uh...
  25. Danchat
    Eh, I'm not hot on this squad acquiring rentals, but the price is very cheap. Amick wasn't even in Fangraphs' top 50, Agbayani is #48. Amick's numbers do not indicate he's close to being a major league player, too many Ks and we have seen a reliance on minor league HRs rarely translate to major league success. Agbayani is 19 years old and what I'd consider to be a lottery ticket. Minter's ERA has been great the past two years, but his K rate has dropped this year, and has only been healthy enough to pitch in 36 games in that stretch. Looks like he has been their 7th inning guy, maybe 4th best reliever. But in our pen, he's easily the third best they have now.
