    I never read the entire article, that's on me. :) They tend to get a little long :)
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Coach Wheels
    Buck's last HR was June 26th. It is very hard to count on him for more than 100 games/year
  11. Coach Wheels
    I love sarcasm!!!
  12. Coach Wheels
    Yes. In 2025, they basically sold low and in 2026, they bought low. The Pohlad way
  13. Coach Wheels
    Injuries have always been part of a teams success or lack of success. Great/Good teams have depth with respect to talent and that is a shortcoming for our Twins. The pitching staff and the OF have had key injuries this year and the guys we've rolled out when injuries have happened to those 2 groups, we've struggled.
  14. Coach Wheels
    Josh Bell is a pro and he's been a pro all summer for this team. No way he comes back with all the young guys on the doorstep but, if this team makes the playoffs, it will because Bell has a special last 5 weeks.
  15. Coach Wheels
    15-18 outs would awesome for 4 or 5 starts.
  16. Coach Wheels
    There's no room for Austin Martin on this roster next year. Culpepper and Jenkins make Martin expendable
  17. Coach Wheels
    Agree; you want Larnach or Keaschall as your LF, that's the question for the organization. We could also start a healthy list of the number of Twins right now who have no position and figure out what they look like defensively in 2027.
  18. Coach Wheels
    Jenkins can come Saturday and let it rip, not sure what we're waiting for. Lackey and Tait is interesting. Both are shown to be multiple years away but with Jeffers gone this winter, is Jackson the backup to Caratini or does Tait get a real look?
  19. Coach Wheels
    Do you Larnach in a platoon DH role or do you see him moved? I can go either way with Larnach, he's had a good year offensively
  20. Coach Wheels
    I was thinking the same thing. Stop referring to Keaschall as an OF, Roden is proving daily that he can't play 150 games/year, and Martin can be moved whenever. It's crazy that this team is 3 games under .500 and there are about 12 guys on the roster that can be moved.
  21. Coach Wheels
    I agree that Rojas in the 7th or 8th instead of Rogers is the correct play. Rogers was a mess.last night and there is a place earlier in the game for Taylor. Hoffman, Morris, and Gomez are the last 6 outs in my opinion.
  22. Coach Wheels
    Maybe fair. I've never seen a professional baseball team where no one can be defined with a defensive position. We have a lineup fill with DH's.
  23. Coach Wheels
    Ryan might be injured. ERA at almost 10 since All Star break.
  24. Coach Wheels
    Then put Kriedler in CF, move Keaschall to LF, Larnach to 1st base and Royce can DH. No bigger disappointment defensively than Royce on this team, in my opinion.
  25. Coach Wheels
    Yes
