    Bednar is one of the best closers in baseball. He instantly transforms your bullpen to at least good. And who cares about the comp pick when you will get a comp pick for Jeffers signing elsewhere which effectively negates that entire argument. Bednar also has several good prime years left and has been healthy for the majority of his career. So again tell me why they shouldn’t sign him?

    Overall your plan basically mirrors this past season’s team. Soroka is not an upgrade over Ober or Kramer and you trade Ryan for a bag of baseballs!? Bauers is a decent player but I would be skeptical he can repeat what he did outside of Milwaukee and Lewis needs to be given one more chance. Romero is a decent pickup but I would aim higher for Morejon or Vesia. So tell me exactly how is this team better than last season’s because I don’t see it.

    Still have a 15% chance to land a top 6 pick which means they are still in the lottery.

    Been saying this for years! They think they can outsmart the system and get another 1-2MPH out of a pitcher rather than just drafting a legit Ace pitcher like they should have this year with Flora over Lackey. And they better draft one next year when they get another top 10 pick in the 2027 draft but I doubt they will.

    Not a hot take: they are both useless! Both have allowed half as many ER in the total innings they have pitched and neither have good velocity to be starting pitchers. And whoever thinks it’s wise to pay Kremer 7-8M in arbitration next season for a team this is cap strapped when it comes to payroll is delusional even if they introduce a salary floor for 2027. The Twins need to trade or sign an upgrade for the rotation if they really want to contend next season.

    No they didn’t. They were expected to be bad even if they didn’t trade Duran or Varland. No one expected the latter to become one of the best relievers in baseball and I do believe the Duran trade will begin to pay off next year with Tait and Abel taking steps forward. And they didn’t have Ryan or Buxton(their 2 best players) for chunks of the season.

    No it wasn’t. He had 2 decent months. They should not only have traded him at the deadline but there was no reason to bring him back.
  16. Historyking88
    Yes they should have! Would rather have Tolle from Boston right now.

    Kremer and Ober both need to be gone next year. They need to trade Ryan for whatever top pitching prospect they can get for him. And there is no guarantee that Pablo will be ready to go next year. They need to trade for an upgrade in the rotation like Emerson Hancock. Their starting rotation, bullpen, and any of their pitching depth is nothing but uncertain going into next season.
  20. Historyking88
    He can keep waiting! He’s just Sano 2.0. Trade him in the offseason for an established rotation arm.
  21. Historyking88
    Who gives a crap about a draft pick that might help 3-4 years from now!? They could have gotten a ready now bullpen arm and another top pitching prospect for Jeffers. And now he walks for nothing. This team just continues to show how stupid they are with asset management. And you continue to waste our time with pointless articles like this one.

    You may want to do more research and check out the last handful of starts by Gallagher. He should be called up in September.

    I’ve been saying Headrick and Lagrange for Jeffers. But if you could get Warren and Lagrange or Lalane for him you make that trade in a heartbeat!
  25. Historyking88
    Jeffers for Headrick and Lagrange. You get a really good ready now lefty for the bullpen and another top prospect who can help the rotation or bullpen now as well.
  26. Historyking88
    There is no point in trading for relievers especially over the age of 35. You should only look for options that have team control beyond this year. Riley O’Brien Kevin Kelly Jeremiah Estrada Brent Headrick Victor Vodnik
