    I agree. I love Joe Ryan. The fans are going to hate the move whether you trade Ryan now or in the offseason. Unless you can extend him now you need to get the most value from him at his peak. Ideally you get a young, pre-arb, high upside arm for him that fits the 27-28 contention window.

    It’s always good to have a big pile of chips. It would be fun to see some of these guys gel and develop into a group like those that became the 87 Champs. We can dream!
  24. Hrbeks Divot
    This is a no brainer for me IF Tom Pohlad really intends to increase payroll. You get the player on a low risk (albeit high dollar) one year deal and you can look to trade him at next year’s deadline. He’s a veteran leader in the clubhouse and for a young pitching staff. If he declines you get the draft pick(s) and pivot to another free agent option. The only way I don’t give him a QO is if he comes back from the hamate injury and can’t swing a bat.
  25. Hrbeks Divot
    The front office has two months to negotiate a long term deal with him. If they can’t get it done they should evaluate the deals and take the one that aligns with their build plan the best. I’d hate to see him go but with the labor uncertainty I don’t think they can wait until the offseason to move him.
  26. Hrbeks Divot
    “Trade deadlines are always judged too quickly.” The article ends with this quote which is exactly right. It’s still too early to judge all the deals in their entirety. Would we have a couple more wins with Varland and Duran on the roster? Sure. Would they make this team a contender in 2026? Absolutely not. So the question of whether the trades help in 2026 is just a matter of whether you want the Twins to be average to bad or possibly just average. I’d rather play the long game and see how these trades look in 2-3 years.

    Excellent article, Matt. Statistical recap with some fun mixed into the piece!

    “By holding back on extensions for players like Lewis, Miranda, and Lee at their respective peaks, the Twins may have preserved both payroll flexibility and roster optionality.” The problem here is that the Twins have capitalized on neither. They haven’t spent the payroll they saved and they’ve locked themselves into an inflexible roster this year. I’d be fine with them taking a chance or two on pre-arb deals but if they won’t, they sure don’t seem to be jumping on the benefits being touted on the article.
  29. Hrbeks Divot
    He won’t make his debut until June at the earliest. Emma will get first crack if he’s healthy. I could actually see the Twins waiting until 2027 to debut Jenkins so they have a shot at getting an extra draft pick with a ROY win.
  30. Hrbeks Divot
    I don’t mind the idea but if we go that route then I also think we need to go full tear down. Are we realistically going to be able to sign Joe Ryan to a long term extension? Get more young talent for him and Jeffers now that lines up with the 28-30 timeframe. Let Buck decide if he wants to ride it out or look for trading partners for him as well.

    I’ll be the Charlie Brown and hope the football doesn’t get pulled this time. Tom has a year to prove to me there are changes coming. Might we win the division? Yes, but only because nobody wants to jump up and grab it. If Skubal is traded it’s even more of a toss up. I’m fine with not trading any more veterans but I’d like to see a long term extension offer for Ryan and a three year de lobfor Jeffers. After that we roll with what we have, hope the kids arrive and augment with free agents in 27 to really open the window.
  33. Hrbeks Divot
    While I agree that Ohl should get an opportunity for one of the final bullpen spots, if he’s getting save opportunities next year we’re in for another long season. His four seam and cutter aren’t nearly good enough, at this time, for that role. Let’s hope he’s taken a step in the offseason to be a middle innings guy for us.
  34. Hrbeks Divot
    I think $130 gets them closer to 87-89 wins and a wild card but the long term outlook is still the same unless they commit to even slightly increasing payroll in the future. I hate to see a complete tear down but where they are is worse. I’ve been saying for a while that if they trade one of Ryan or Lopez they need to trade them both. Then follow that with Buxton and Jeffers. Hope the FO and scouts have a long term plan in place with a contention window opening in 28 and lasting a few years.
  35. Hrbeks Divot
    I agree. The work stoppage possibility is the only thing that gives me pause. Otherwise I think a 3-yr, $30 Mil extension would be a good investment.
