    Wasn't just Fangraphs, and every prospect "may become a player worth noting someday". Personally I don't have a problem trading a prospect like Reyes who is far away, I take issue with it when it's for a pitcher who isn't going to help us in the playoffs and some even argue is a rental. I think Reyes' prospect rating is a clue that they will tender Kremer's last arb year.
  2. Danchat
    Multiple outlets had Reyes as a top 20 prospect of ours, not somebody I'd call a PTBNL. It makes me wonder if the Twins do plan to pay that final year of arbitration, otherwise it seems like an overpay for a rental who isn't even a guy who would pitch much in the playoffs if we somehow made it.

    Looks like we have our veteran edge rusher coming to town. He's an old friend of Flores'.
  4. Danchat
    Ben Ross and Garrett Acton.

    The claimed players must go to the 53 man roster. Samac will back up center while Jurgens is hurt, Keegan will be depth. Two players will have to be cut soon... and I expect they sign a veteran edge soon.

    Uh, Keaschall is at 9 HRs in 512 PAs this year. 20 HRs in a season would be a stretch for him, but at least he doesn't have zero power.

    Yup, multiple moves are coming and a few of these fringe guys will lose their roster spots. Still, it shows they have belief in Brosmer even though I think he gets axed tomorrow, clearly they want to get him to the practice squad while other teams are busy filling out their rosters.

    Here is your first 53 man roster of the year:

    JJ McCarthy has made the team and won't be traded for now. Likely to be QB3 on gameday. Nice to get something for Rouse when he wasn't going to make the team.

    Give me Zebby over Ober and Kremer in the rotation next year. My initial thought is that Ober gets traded - not for a big return, but for something because teams need starting pitching. The Twins have enough options at the back of the rotation and might not want to lock in paying Ober and Kremer what might be a combined $14-16M rather than pencil in Zebby and Abel/Rojas into a spot. I think Kremer will be back and will be in the rotation, so it'd be Bradley/Lopez/Ryan/Matthews/Kremer and next up Abel/Prielipp/Rojas/Paredes. Pretty good depth. Maybe they think about a Ryan trade if an extension is off the table.

    He avoided a season-ending ankle injury, can't say how long he will be out. However, I did just read that ED Tyler Batty had a torn ACL in that game and will hit the IR.
  12. Danchat
    Sometimes when Zebby is rolling, he looks like one of the best starters in the game. Just wish he could have a few less clunkers, but IMO he is a back of the rotation starter in next season's rotation.

    Between ERod, Wallner, Roden, and Gabby, they go Gonzalez... seems to imply Austin Martin isn't as close to ready to go as we think he is given they went with the righty. I'd like to see Gonzalez get some September ABs, but ERod desperately needs some before next year. Seems like they are done with Wallner.

    It's too bad the bats are slumping at a critical point in the season, but it was going to happen eventually. They got hot in June-July and that wasn't going to be something that was going to last through a playoff run. Not to mention the injuries to the starting pitchers was also too much come playoff time. If they really wanted to make a run, they needed to do a lot better than Kremer. I was at the game yesterday... it was a fairly dull experience. Not much to report.
  15. Danchat
    I think you mean 64-71
  16. Danchat
    Only 1 in 3 games.
  17. Danchat
    Almost as much as a slog as the Vikings 3rd preseason game, which I'm attempting to watch.
  18. Danchat
    It's been the duel between starters who got traded for, in the midst of having career worst seasons.
  19. Danchat
    Solid first AB there, Walker. Good contact.
  20. Danchat
    Buxton not going on the IL is strange... I have a hard time buying that he's going to be effective after re-injuring himself again on Wednesday. I think I'd actually rather have Roden right now than an ailing Buxton.
  21. Danchat
    Unfortunately, that was a appropriate way for the game to end given Keaschall's day in the field.
  22. Danchat
    This is the time to use up the challenges... a walk could be the difference between victory or defeat. NVM, gameday was saying he didn't challenge. Good call.
  23. Danchat
    Boy, the usually reliable relievers aren't getting it done now. Sucks when it happens, relievers can be volatile.

    Big article came out today from an NFL insider that I consider to be reputable - Tony Pauline reports on some "differences" in the evaluation of Caleb Banks between the new Front Office (Teasley) and basically Flores since he pretty much ran the 2026 Draft while Brez serves as the guy who turned the picks in and called the player first: This is quite the expose to be coming out at this point of the season... but it's exactly what I was saying when he was drafted. Not great college production, lengthy injury history, plus multiple other sources have reported that conditioning is a problem. Just not a guy you spend a 1st rounder on. Jacob Thomas might end up being better than Jakobe Thomas, of whom we spent a 3rd round pick on. Yup, they went with DL because Allen and Hargrave were cut, went need over BPA. Flores is quite possibly the best defensive mind in the league, but that doesn't mean he's the best college scout.
  25. Danchat
    Back when Buxton got extended, I wondered whether it'd be worth it since he rarely made it to the end of a season uninjured... what's the point if you consistently aren't healthy enough to play in the playoffs? It's unfortunate, I don't blame him whatsoever, he tries to tough it out. His body is simply failing him.
