    By math, $75 million is greater than $23 million. He'll pass.
  2. Coach Wheels
    If he takes the deal, there will be almost no money spent in FA this year by our club. There is no way the Twins spend an additional $12-15 million more players and I don't believe for 1 minute the Twins think he'll take the deal.
  3. Coach Wheels
    If the Astros would still take Larnach now, make the trade.
  4. Coach Wheels
    For what we expected from Royce vs everyone else on this list, he gets my vote as well. We've run out of positions to hide him at and he hasn't lived up to any expectations of a #1 overall pick; it wasn't health related this year either.
  5. Coach Wheels
    Looks like we're officially out of stories for 2026.
  6. Coach Wheels
    Everything is for sale all the time. If the price is right, this team can get sold tomorrow. Personally, I look forward to the day the Pohlads are out of baseball.

    The Rays front office is very good and the only way they walk away from Diaz is if the resources someone gives them make them better. I would be scared to death to trade with the Rays. 😀

    I think we can sign Ryan and still move him before the deadline
  9. Coach Wheels
    This was my thought as well. Locking up Bradley makes sense, understanding that pitchers are fragile. No one else on the list is in the discussion for me and the idea of waiting on all of them until a new CBA is signed would also make a lot of sense.

    💯 on this comment. There was just so much inconsistency all year with everyone except Bradley. The next game where Ryan beats a playoff caliber team might be the 1st time he's done it. I don't see him as an ace but a #2 stsrter and that is not who he needs to be. The bullpen was a group we held our breath with all year long. The fact that we used so many RP this year tells you what chaos looked like. Lots of room for improvement in 2027
  11. Coach Wheels
    96 RBI's seem like more than a C- player but we can agree to disagree.
  12. Coach Wheels
    First, grading anyome who had less than 100 PA's isn't fair so I have comme.t on those guys. Bell was exactly who we knew he'd be. He drove in 96 runs and I'd give him a B+. Keaschall had a nice year at the plate but he's a defensive liability. I'lll give him a C. The rest of the grades seem fair.
  13. Coach Wheels
    So they were better 3 1/2 games. 🤔
  14. Coach Wheels
    They were better than expected by maybe 5 games but this is a division that very very average. The Twins are a mess defensively and in the bullpen and if I'm going to take them seriously in 2027, the ownership has to take their franchise seriously and improve the talent. 85 wins gets you a division flag, the bar isn't that high
  15. Coach Wheels
    I never read the entire article, that's on me. :) They tend to get a little long :)
  16. Coach Wheels
    Making the offer isn't a problem but with Boras as his agent, it will not get accepted and will get a 4 year, $80 million+ deal somewhere else. He's gone.
  17. Coach Wheels
    Keaschall is a DH. Lewis is a DH. Clemens might be a DH. I could go on, there are more, but I think we all see a glaring issue with this roster.
  18. Coach Wheels
    He has definitely earned a contract for next year and maybe a raise. This is most likely his ceiling as an offensive player but I'll take 3 more years just like it if possible.
  19. Coach Wheels
    💯 I do not see a path where they pay Jeffers the same money as Buxton. Boras will make sure Jeffers is in the free agency pool and he will get more than $17 million/year for multiple years.
  20. Coach Wheels
    There are no Joe Mauer's on this list but we shouldn't expect that either. The MLB draft is always a crapshoot but Culpepper and Jenkins look like ball players.
  21. Coach Wheels
    💯 accurate. The expectations were zero to start the year, defensively this is a bad team. Offensively, they've played well enough to be 5 games under .500 but I refuse to give Zoll and Pohlad credit for adding $8 million at the deadline for guys that are ok, at best. This team will change over the winter; we need a #1 catcher, and the OF needs to have actual OF'ers not DH's. It will be interesting to see who we keep and who moves on.
  22. Coach Wheels
    Seems like a lot of questions for a guy to answer in 1 month. Culpepper looks be a very good player but this road to, let's say 90 wins, seems long. Upgrades defensively and offensively are really important and, if payroll stays at $110 million, our young guys will have to be good.
  23. Coach Wheels
    A qualifying offer to Jeffers would most likely be north of $20 million/year. I don't see the Twins doing that, with any player, in the foreseeable future.
  24. Coach Wheels
    Buck's last HR was June 26th. It is very hard to count on him for more than 100 games/year
  25. Coach Wheels
    I love sarcasm!!!
