    Maybe they could try keascall at first and have Lee and culpepper up the middle. Keaschall does not at all fill the first base profile, but then again, the twins don’t have a clear cut first basemen.

    Well now we just have to drive them in another way

    Just keep fighting twins. Never Give up. Go Jeffers!

    Never knew all this, that Carl pohlad made his way through shady and sometimes imorral busniess practices. Not sad to see the pohlads go and leave this dark history behind

    According to mlb.com, 2025 regular season reds games will be broadcast on fanduel sports network, formerly Bally sports, after the reds came to agreement with “Main Street sports”, formerly diamond sports group. https://www.mlb.com/news/reds-fanduel-announce-telecast-rights-agreement-for-2025 Twins, meanwhile, will be broadcast by mlb in 2025.

    Clubhouse issues? I wasn’t aware of any clubhouse issues with Royce Lewis, seems like a nice guy to me.

    Wonder who the new writer will be though

    Sad to see him go. He seemed like a nice guy, and I thought he generally had thoughtful columns. Hope he does well in his next job.

    The news that the tigers have signed Gleyber Torres to a one year deal, and are moving young second basemen Colt Keith over to first base leaves the future of former top prospect Spencer Torkelson in question. While regarded as one of mlb’s primer prospects after being selected first overall in the 2020 draft, it has not really panned out for Torkelson at the major league level. Torkelson has only batted 221. and posted a -0.3 war over parts of three seasons with the tigers. It seems likely that the tigers would be looking for a trade for Torkelson, to clear space on the roster. So, why couldn't the twins take a flyer and trade for divison foe Torkelson? Maybe a change of scenery would do him good, and he could platoon with talented but oft-injured and inconsistent Jose Miranda at first base, and hold down the fort if Miranda were to get injured again. He is only one season removed from playing 159 games and hitting 31 homers. He would be a cheap option for the cost-aware twins, and may only field one or two minor leaguers and some cash in return.

    As others have said, when you are riding momentum from a great 2023 playoff run, the last thing you want to do is cut payroll by 20+ million. We need owners who truly care about baseball, and not just the financials of it.

    He’s got to shave that. Looks awful.

    Evident, as the twins won the season series against them. I don’t think it is ridiculous anymore to say that the Astros are on or slightly above the twins level. They lost Springer, Correa, Prime Gurriel, and Brantley and Bergman haven’t been the same. They have tried to replace those players, and they have a few good players such as pena fill those gaps, but they just can’t replace the stardom of years past.
  13. TaterTot
    A resounding yes.

    Just thinking, it is only hours away from the deadline, so if the twins want him, they have to make their move NOW.

    The list of players seems more focused on pitching. The twins have an elite rotation, and a slightly above average bullpen that if they add one or two new arms they can get by ok. The real problem is the offense, or the lack thereof. Maybe the twins can get two decent hitters in Turner and Duvall from the Red Sox, who have about the same record as the twins, but actually play in a good division. For Turner and Duvall the twins would trade farmer, pagan [ just PLEASE get him out of here] and a prospect who came in with potential, but hasn’t panned out yet in Austin Martin. You could also maybe throw a pitcher like Simeon woods Richardson in there to complete the deal.

    I have more time on my hands than in recent years- to watch a under-preforming twins offense. Rocco is buried in his statistics and spread sheets and seems to treat the games like they are just a lab experiment. Maybe if Rocco tried to mange like the games mattered and started thinking in baseball terms things would turn out differently. Things just seem to fly over his head.

    Cross fingers, hope they make it to the playoffs, but considering this team has the longest postseason losing streak in all of North American sports it would be real grand if they won a game. Setting the bar pretty low.
  19. TaterTot
    As many others were saying, it would be more worth the sacrifice to trade a high-end prospect for a good bat than to add to a surplus.

    Honestly, i don't know why Emilio pagan is still with the twins. After having a good, consistent offensive performance for once, the twins were leading 6-4 into the 8th when pagan came in and, well, I’m sure you can imagine what happened next. Allowing two runners on base, Calvin Biggio, a negative war player per baseball reference stepped up to the plate and what else… pagan gives up a home run. The twins were not Able to mount a comeback and lost what at one time looked like an easily winnable game 7-6. Of course, pagan doesn't decide when he comes in, that is on Rocco. Rocco brings in pagan in the highest leverage situations like every game is an experiment. “Oh, maybe he will work it out this time.” The same thing happened in 2020 with Sergio Romo who always seemed to come in in the 9th inning of a close game and blow the lead. Of course, higher in the Emilio pagan pecking order is the front office who refuses to send him down, trade him or release him.It is long due time that everyone with the twins re-think things when it comes to closing out games with pitchers not named Johan Duran. Video seems familiar eh? FullSizeRender.MOV

    If this could become the World Cup of baseball in 10 or 20 years, it would be a wonderful thing for baseball. Has anyone pointed out that if they were at spring training the Would also be playing BASEBALL?
  22. TaterTot
    I don’t see why Hoffman wouldn’t make the cut-he had a respectable 3.83 era last season.
  23. TaterTot
    Would the twins possibly starting their own network be an option? I believe they tried that sometime in the early 2000s.
  24. TaterTot
    Gray deserves the honor of being the opening day starter, as he was the one of the most reliable twins pitchers last year WHEN he was on the felid. At 33, he likely has only has a few seasons left, although he may well be one of the pitchers who stays around a long time. All depends on how his spring goes though.
  25. TaterTot
    Man, I though that they were getting rid of that rule, and I was ready to say good riddance. I guess I was wrong. It just dosn't feel right, and I liked 18 inning games where they played till 1am once in a while.
