    This story is just dumb, and cheap, enough to happen. Sad for the fans, attendance next year should be around 900,000 and maybe this team gets sold.
  2. Coach Wheels
    I also would gamble on Heim
  3. Coach Wheels
    So.....they'll need another catcher. 😀
  4. Coach Wheels
    I would support checking out the switch hitting catcher from Texas, Jonah Heim. Shelton might save him.
  5. Coach Wheels
    I'm taking the under. 😂
  6. Coach Wheels
    I never knew baseball had so many coaches and especially with such specific designations.
  7. Coach Wheels
    I'd like to believe that Ryan and Buxton will continue to get better. For Buxton, I define "better" by continuing to be healthy and play 150 games. I see no reason for Ryan to regress. Young player with an above average fastball who can continue to learn how to pitch and hopefully keep his pitch count down to 18-21 outs more consistently. SWR and Clemens are who they are. Im not counting on either to win big games next summer.
  8. Coach Wheels
    Buxton brings the most value and for a rebuild and an appreciation of what Buxton has meant to the organization, he should be traded to a team that can win. Larnach, Wallner, Martin, Roden, and Outman will bring back very little, but this team isn't interested in winning so....why hustle with trading guys with years left?
  9. Coach Wheels
    You can fix my math for me. Pick 8 for the bullpen, I'll stand with my rotation
  10. Coach Wheels
    If all these guys are still on the roster come.Opening Day, the rotation, in my head, looks like this: Ryan, Lopez, Abel, Ober, and Bradley Bullpen guys would be SWR, Festa, Mathews, and whoever Falvey decides to pick off the scrap. Guessing Topa is still one of us but you'll need a bullpen of 9 guys I'd imagine
  11. Coach Wheels
    Agree. We lots of average defensive OF who are already cheap. Move Wallner to 1st and go get an OF that, while still cheap, could be more athletic. Stealing bases and preventing runs could be another to make this hot mess into a better team.
  12. Coach Wheels
    In 2024, the most stolen bases occurred since 1915. The new rules have brought stealing a base back into the game. There's no Ricky Henderson, Lou Brock, or Vince Coleman out there but it can be part of the game again

    Just spent the past hour on YouTube watching 87 and 91 game 6 and 7 highlights and tearing up a little. I had a family member text me last saying the game last night was the best baseball he's ever seen. This morning I shared those Twin highlight videos with family with a "hold my beer" moment for Puckett, Hrbek, Morris, etc. 2 great teams/memories from my past.
  14. Coach Wheels
    What management did to this franchise at the trade deadline was hard to understand and will be hard to fix over a short period. Trading multiple players with years of service for minimal return means the Twins had no bullpen the last 2 months of the year and, honestly, have no resources in the system that any od us have seen. Its giving to be an interesting off-season as this roster gets rebuilt without spending money.
  15. Coach Wheels
    Shelton the right hire for an organization not planning on winning. He wasn't expensive and there is no expectation of being in the playoffs or chasing a ring. Sadly, this hire makes perfect sense
  16. Coach Wheels
    Shelton has experience low budget baseball teams. He'll know where the best buffets are on the road to save meal money for his guys.
  17. Coach Wheels
    World Series? The Dodgers payroll is $350 million, the Blue Jays payroll is $255 million. Those numbers won't come down and Twins ownership can't sustain $140 million. The days of small markets winning championships is done. No salary cap equals no chance for small market teams
  18. Coach Wheels
    So, he's a DH. Your profile of him makes him a poor choice for RF also
  19. Coach Wheels
    I'd like to think he'd be fine at 1st base. He's an average to slightly below average RF in my opinion
  20. Coach Wheels
    Locks for the lineup in 2026 (my opinion): Buxton, Keaschall, Lewis, Lee, Wallner, and Jeffers. Jeffers can't be traded when you have zero options even close to him offensively. Wallner, hometown guy, gets more time; maybe at 1st base? The rest are completely uninspiring, should I say less inspiring, and could be dealt. The roster isn't attractive and it's really depressing to dissect.
  21. Coach Wheels
    Bailey showed this year that his ceiling is 4 or 5 in the rotation. He can't be your 3rd starter when he's hurt or having velocity issues yearly.
  22. Coach Wheels
    Raise your hand if you believe Falvey can make the right hire when we watched the trade deadline debacle. 👎
  23. Coach Wheels
    Luke was a no-brainer for this award. He is truly a potential All Star and, on a team where most of our young players still have a lot to prove, he may be our best offensive player after Byron in 2026. Stay healthy for 162 and let's see who he can be.
  24. Coach Wheels
    The day this fall that the Pholads announcing the Twins were not for sale, I prayed it was April 1st and I'd slept through the winter. Next year, I hope attendance is less than 1 million.
  25. Coach Wheels
    I'm not DFA'ing Larnach but he's traded, Im not shocked. Im keeping Outman.....for now and hoping he becomes the guy the Dodgers thought he could be 2 years ago. There's not one current bullpen guy that I'll miss and I'm including Sands in that discussion
