    A salary cap and floor are absolutely necessary, the big issue is there are teams in mlb spending as much on 26 player that nfl teams spend on 53. It makes no mathematical sense. Some players are too greedy and none of them make a big enough impact on a team to even warrant making $30 million a year

    I've said this several times move Lewis to first base it will be a better future defensively and help keep him healthier. Then keaschall can play third lee at short and Clemens at 2nd

    I don't know how many times I've brought this up in comments, move royce Lewis to first base his defense would likely play better and he would likely stay healthier. From there the infield could be keaschall at third lee at short and Clemens at second at least till Culpepper reaches the majors.

    Good article although in my opinion if Lopez has some good starts to finish the year after returning from the il, I would consider trading him but keeping Ryan and extending him. It would allow for more additions in other areas especially bullpen.

    I wont disagree with this article I will just add that the reported $450 million in debt the team has makes no sense as target field was mostly publicly funded and that the debt is more than 3 years of team payroll. Which tells me something isn't right in the organization and/or the ownership. Either they don't know what they are doing or someone is cooking the books for some reason, for which I will let you use your imagination.

    I can't wait to see what a new owner will do. Reading this i understand wanting to build for tge future but he definitely didn't consider without a good bullpen the twins aren't going to contend for a championship

    I don't think they should have moved Varland, and I feel they should have gotten more for Correa even if it was a salary dump.

    I cannot bring this up in my comments enough put royce Lewis at first it will help his health while making the most of his defensive skills. Lee did well playing third last year, as for second try martin, miranda, and Julien til someone sticks or keaschall is healthy.
  19. Jim wyllie
    Definite pass on all 3 and I would also like to point out that this past season martin actually made a really good play on a deep fly ball to center when buxton was hurt. So is defense isn't bad he just hasn't had consistent playing time at one position

    Castro is definitely a tradable asset he was an all star in 2024, and very versatile. His value should be alot higher than one might think even going into a contract year. As any team to aquire him could sign him to an extension rightaway that still could be less than any free agent that would of the same level.
  21. Jim wyllie
    First prospects are just prospects til they prove themselves in the majors, and are really only trade chips til then. Trading duran would be waving the white flag on 2025. A set closer creates a stable back end of tge pen without which the bullpen would be a complete crap shoot. They need to keep him as in twinscteams past that have a good set closer fair alot better than those without. The twins mid-season hunt for relievers the past 15 years has been horrendous why force yourselves back to that mess

    One value raiser not talked about is how Garrett crochet did in 2024 converting from a reliever to a starter. If Jax is looking to do the same and with his team control, every team would be calling in hopes that Jax becomes the next crochet putting his value at peak
  23. Jim wyllie
    I'd say this might work, however given he just had o e of his better years and where the twins are payroll wise I would say now is the best time to trade him. Buxton is closer to a michael Brantley lite than torre hunter. With his health concerns a trade now is the twins best option
  24. Jim wyllie
    I think if Jax is the one who wants to try starting again then perhaps trading him would be the best route then wt least we can get bullpen help in return
  25. Jim wyllie
    As I've said before move Lewis to first base, sign loan moncado on the cheap to play 3rd with a good upside then move lee to second, that is the best route given the situation with payroll and lewis' defensive skill set
