    If the intention was to just drop him Cory, why didn’t they trade him at the deadline? As stated none of those 3 play catcher. They have carried him for 5 weeks as insurance purposes I’m sure they will carry him 3 more until the expansion of rosters.

    https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/05/twins-ryan-jeffers-hamate-fracture-alex-jackson.html Jeffers injury is why Jackson was called up. It’s clear you think Jackson is as replaceable by our AAA hitters hitting below the Mendoza line.

    Roden is short a hit coded as an error an a triple that was coded as a single because it was a game winning hit. Roden OPS would be just under .700 with those changes for the year. Clemens didn’t have a track record either prior to last year. Even still Roden has options.

    Edited- I found the single line you claim you were responded to but I didn’t see you quote it. In either case getting multiple catchers hurt is not that unusual and trying to defend it because it doesn’t fit your view is silly,

    I still like that trade but I’m not like most. If you didn’t understand the parallel that’s on you. You think Jackson is easily a replaceable. Judging by not trading him at the deadline the Twins obviously have bigger plans.

    Go ask the Dodgers.

    Varland was a below average pitcher for years. He showed a bit of promise last year yet everyone lost their mind when he was traded for a massive overpay at the time. Basing anything on where an individual is on the current pecking order is meaningless. Varland started 7 or 8 in the bullpen last year and is a closer now. Jackson has done everything right this year which is why they are willing to give him a chance this year. They should have traded Jeffers at the deadline, and if they intended to dump Jackson then he should have been traded. The dodgers gave some decent flyers to get a defensive only catcher but is a good teammate. So this catcher you think can be easily replaced has more value this year and next than most here realize,

    It’s not politics / it’s anything

    The only rule is a maximum of 14 pitchers. Even still with 14 position players you should have zero complaints.

    Technically it’s 2. How they use it is up to them.
  12. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    It was either that or I thought that was a tad aggressive LOL.
  13. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Add in a hit that was coded as an error, and a game winning triple instead of a single and his OPS is close to .700.
  14. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Im just stating what the Twins are doing. You are the one arguing with their rational. No sweat off my back.

    During the offseason fine, even though I disagree. The issue is supply vs demand - there is no other supply currently available that can provide his floor level stats. He is an insurance policy at one position they have no other insurance of in the minors. You do understand how insurance policies work. We have carried him for 5 weeks as a 3rd catcher, I can guarantee we will carry him for 3 more weeks until the roster expands. Well he has 2 years then of being lucky.
  16. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    My guess is Roden since Martin is right handed.
  17. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Well the Twins organization has disagreed with assessment apparently. Reece has -.5 WAR this year in 11 games (woof) Nido -.1 in 10 games Jackson +.2 War in 29 games Ive seen no dime a dozen catcher available that is as good as Jackson. That is the crux of the argument MMM. All we need to get through is to Sept 1st when rosters expand and then the silly argument effectively goes away.
  18. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I would agree. He will be a decent defensive option and provide zero with the bat.
  19. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Bell is starting his end of season hot streak as well. Under the hood though I think his swing velocity has started to decline some this year. He may get a decent contract next year.
  20. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Eh . . . they gave up Rojas and Roden for him. We gave up cash considerations for ours LOL.
  21. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    No one has answered who we call up if Jeffers or Caratini gets injured and Jackson is no longer on the 40 man.
  22. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I think he has 2 losses though and 1 of those in the last series. He has 1.8 ERA with the Twins, not much different than Varland with Toronto. 16 saves is pretty huge for the Twins.
  23. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    Who you calling up if Caratini gets injured?
  24. Hawkeye Bean Counter
    I would argue he is more of an insurance policy this year than even next year.
