    I would retain both Ober and Lewis, but try like heck to trade both. For now, I would keep Banda and let Sands go. Plenty of easy choices to part ways with the player.

    I think Rojas should be a bullpen pitcher for 2027 which is where he has the potential to help the Twins the most for the season...unless the Twins move several starters through trades. Starting pitching options for Rojas can be revisited for 2028.
  3. Jeff K
    Please no! What a horrible thought!
  4. Jeff K
    I agree, and Kremer has a track record as a solid 4th or 5th starter. I think Ryan and Ober are the best choices to try and trade this off-season; however, it all depends on what the trade market can bring.
  5. Jeff K
    This looks like a good hire.
  6. Jeff K
    I agree with your comments. If required to provide an actual grade, I would give him a C- because of his mishandling the catchers and not getting value for Jeffers. I hope he has this on his to do list: 1. Extend Bradley & Keaschall. And it wouldn't break my heart to see Culpepper extended. 2. Make improvements to the team at 1st base that are more than a one year band aid. 3. Pick up a couple of quality relief pitchers. 4. Continue to make way for the young position players which means moving on from Larnach and possibly/probably Lewis.

    Maybe this isn't what you meant, but the Big Papi mistake has haunted our pages for too long. You can't be afraid to make a mistake. The one with Big Papi was obviously gigantic, but we can't keep making comparisons with other players for fear of another big mistake. It's just not relevant. I do agree that Royce's glove at 1b looked pretty good and will likely get even better. But he needs a fresh start elsewhere. He is seemingly stuck in his head and the Twins haven't been able to help that.

    Extend; extend; extend him!
  9. Jeff K
    Exactly. I'm pulling for Emma to be successful, but the jury is definitely still out. Roden is a solid player and is a reasonably known quantity. And he brings more to the table than Larnach given his ability to play all outfield positions and maybe first base.
  10. Jeff K
    Your last line is reason enough to ensure that Larnach is off the roster. If they can trade him pre-arbitration; great. If not, don't offer arbitration. Cut him loose!
  11. Jeff K
    Keaschall could be a good choice for first. That said, I am still betting on his athleticism making him a solid outfielder with more experience. I am not a Lewis supporter and am ready for the Twins to move on, but they need a solution at first base before doing so. It's not Sabato.
  12. Jeff K
    I feel like the Twins inability to Trade Larnach at the deadline is either a result of asking too much, or other teams not wanting a part time DH. I would let him go. Lewis is a tougher decision because the Twins don't currently have a great solution for first base. As many have previously noted, Clemens is best suited for multiple positions vs. anchoring him at first base. The Twins need to solve first base long term and Lewis does not appear to be that guy. They should try to make a trade that yields a solid and controllable first baseman...not named Royce Lewis.
  13. Jeff K
    I'm all about improving the fielding. I'm not aware of Jeffer's past performance at first base. If it's bad, then I agree 100%
  14. Jeff K
    It's been mentioned before, but perhaps the best move is to go big and sign Jeffers for market value and move him to first in 28.
  15. Jeff K
    I don't think the Twins should keep Ober as a starting pitcher; however, he has value as a 5th starter and ought to be tradeable or kept as a relief pitcher.
  16. Jeff K
    Good article. Love Emma's enthusiasm.
  17. Jeff K
    You said almost exactly what I'm thinking. Several of the guys that are tendered should be shopped aggressively like Lewis and Ober. I doubt you get much in trade for them, but they could be part of a bundle trade or take a flyer on a player. 100% on non tendering Sands and Larnach.
  18. Jeff K
    Nyet!
  19. Jeff K
    Bradley and Keaschall are easy choices to offer extensions. I think Kaelen Culpepper is the next best choice.
  20. Jeff K
    I want to believe! I need to believe! What I am is hopeful. I think the Pohlads will be hard pressed to move away from their comments this time...at least I hope they are. I also believe that the Twins have not yet taken advantage of the added investors in the team. I would be very happy to see Keaschall and Bradley receive extensions. The money that players make is enormous; consequently, any extension or free agent signing is a gamble. But you can't be risk adverse and expect to improve. The Twins need a first baseman. I don't think a 4 year contract for Jeffers is the answer although moving him to first base in year 2 or 3 is interesting. At the least, he must receive a qualifying offer. They should find their first baseman via trade and no, I don't know who that should be. But the Twins have a surplus of outfielders and they can trade from their good starting pitching depth as a strength. I would stop signing guys who can't field.
  21. Jeff K
    I agree with your call out regarding the impact of the Twins poor fielding on Prielipp and pretty much all of the Twins pitchers. Better fielding is going to float all the pitching boats.
  22. Jeff K
    I would love to see the Twins find a way to bring in a difference making first baseman.
  23. Jeff K
    I hope this doesn't mean that Zoll is staying.
  24. Jeff K
    I think 1st base needs to be a focus. Joyce Lewis should be an above average fielder but rediscovering consistent hitting is a long shot. I hope the twins pursue a trade or a quality free agent. They need an experienced first baseman.
  25. Jeff K
    No, and while he had a solid season with the bat, I still don't like his signing for the 26 season; much less 27. The team has too many dh types as it is and Josh can't play a position; even badly.
