    Agree. Management says they are "buyers" and then they trade for a 6.00+ ERA. We need to be better shoppers.

    English teacher 😀

    This is 100% accurate and, one has to believe they will trade Jeffers with FA around the corner. He'll most likely get 3 or 4 years at $18-20 million/year and no way this franchise pays that. Jeffers trade needs to bring immediate 24 man roster value because this division is winnable.
  4. Coach Wheels
    Positive addition. Let's keep it up.
  5. Coach Wheels
    The Twins won't pay that I'd imagine. If they move both Jeffers and Ryan before Monday, the fan base will go nuts.
  6. Coach Wheels
    I have also stated that they can upgrade this bullpen without sacrificing great talent and they should do that because this bullpen is awful. Gomez, Funderburk, and Morris are good and getting better but the rest is chaos. You can't let Jeffers become a free agent and get nothing in compensation for him so I believe he's gone. I would offer Ryan a legit 3-4 contract and show the fan base you're serious about getting better.
  7. Coach Wheels
    There is zero chance that Twins ownership spends $23-$26 million on a starting pitcher at the deadline. They've piece mealed this roster together all year and made to .500. Minimal additions are possible, major losses are more likely.
  8. Coach Wheels
    Yes. Elbow surgery, I believe.

    Sonny has a flexible no trade clause. My guess is he vetos Minnesota
  10. Coach Wheels
    Fedoko, back to St. Paul. Roden to the Twins roster. Seems easy
  11. Coach Wheels
    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
  13. Coach Wheels
    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
  14. Coach Wheels
    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.
  15. Coach Wheels
    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
  16. Coach Wheels
    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.
  17. Coach Wheels
    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.
  18. Coach Wheels
    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
  19. Coach Wheels
    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.
  20. Coach Wheels
    My thoughts exactly
  21. Coach Wheels
    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.
  24. Coach Wheels
    I don't think Kriedler and Gray can both be viable keepers; pick one and move on. Clemens, with his versatility, is an easy to give a deal to for 2027, sometime after July 1st
  25. Coach Wheels
    This, 💯 The 1st step in fixing a problem is admitting you have a problem. The ego on this kid needs to be flushed and he has to admit that his plan is not working. If he does that, he can become an All-star
