Coach Wheels

Sonny has a flexible no trade clause. My guess is he vetos Minnesota

Fedoko, back to St. Paul. Roden to the Twins roster. Seems easy

Every time I watch Lewis at 1st base I'm reminded of the movie Moneyball and Billy Beane recruiting Hatteberg to play 1st base for the A's. https://youtu.be/GzTsGdY_vFo?is=7A3VFtNMJsGpW2Xm

I would have had Zeb at 1 or 2 but I value starters a bit more than relievers, still. Gomez has been a pleasant surprise

Agree with this, completely. There is not enough depth in our assets to fix the bullpen via trade deadline. Moving Paredes might be a nice addition but Orze and Rogers cannot be counted on to get us to the 9th. Lawyerson.......getting better? Adams, has to be better options somewhere

My post wasn't meant to argue your post. Perhaps I misinterpreted your comments but I'd agree that Minnesota is Viking and Wild country first. The Twins benefit from 81 home games and people outside Minnesota traveling to .Minneapolis in the summer; having a winning product attracts better crowds.

In 87 and 91 the Twins drew 2.7 to 3 million fans. I believe there was one other 3 million year for attendance as well. Put a product on the field that is serious about winning and competing and people will show up. This is an unserious ownership group and people aren't paying for a bad product; its also why restaurants close

Zeb was good last night and, overall, his starts this spring/summer have been good. He is making the case for a regular rotation spot in 2027 and I'm here to support that.

It would be a great story and if this team stays around .500, it will mean he's playing well and playing every day. Let's talk on Sept 1st.

To much information for my blood. 62 years old and I just want to know if a guy can hit, hit with runners in scoring position, and strikeout as little as possible. To me, that's a professional hitter

I'm also pulling for him, maybe for a different set of reasons. As a #1 overall pick, if the Twins can't get him right, 50% is on them and a franchise that refuses to engage in free agency in a serious way, cannot blow a #1 overall pick in the draft. I believe Royce still has a chance to be that guy, the Twins have control for multiple years, keep coaching him and let him figure it out.

My thoughts exactly

Trading Joe Ryan makes all the sense in the world. There is no reason to keep and pay this guy when you're not serious about winning championships. Get all you can for him and possibly Buxton as well.

A) Buxton is healthy and Shelton plays him every day. B) Bradley is better than we thought and Ober is pitching very well, better than expected. C) While we still lack power, guys are getting clutch hits at important times. Offense is still a work in progress for sure. D) The division is awful and the American League in general isn't very good right now. Let's enjoy these 55 games and see where it goes.
