    Even if the Twins could somehow finagle the financials to be on the hook for $16-$20 mil of the $40 mil owed Walker; I’d rather spend that on the bullpen or a RH corner outfield bat. Not interested in Walker.
  2. thelanges5
    SWR is out of options so he’ll be in the rotation unless he gets hurt or gets traded.
  3. thelanges5
    Twins could go with a prep bat like they did when they selected Walker Jenkins. Jacob Lombard is an intriguing pick. His dad played in the MLB and his brother is a top prospect with the Yankees. He’s got speed, a RH bat, and elite defense.

    August and September 2025 are littered with head lines like this: “Twins depleted bullpen predictably falters in loss to Tigers” ”Twins bullpen melts down again as lack of depth hurts in extra-innings loss to Guardians” They should be adding to the bullpen but seem to think they can just rebuild in one off-season. We have some nice young arms, but it would be a good idea to supplement that with at least a couple guys with MLB experience.

    Armstrong is gone but there are a couple others in this article by Theo Tollefson: https://zonecoverage.com/2025/mn-twins-news/four-free-agent-relievers-the-twins-should-pursue-after-getting-a-slight-payroll-bump/

    Larnach for a lottery pick. I used to think Larnach for an Okert-type reliever. At this point, I think you take what you can get.
  7. thelanges5
    He’s a good, not great signing. I’m liking this addition. More curious in the BP construction and why Larnach, Gasper, Outman are still on the roster.
  8. thelanges5
    A lot of positive quotes and a lot of head scratching quotes. Tom is better than Joe at public speaking. Actions speak louder than words so I guess we have no choice but to wait and see?

    Michael Russo: According to multiple sources, #mnwild owner Craig Leipold is part of one of three MN Twins limited partner groups being announced tomorrow

    Was kinda hoping the Twins would bring him home. Maybe they’ll sign Coulombe again for 2026. Terms not yet disclosed and pending a physical. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/cubs-re-sign-caleb-thielbar.html

    Would be nice if this meant that Outman was expendable.

    Addressed a need and still have $$ for Fairbanks. Let’s go Twins!
  13. thelanges5
    Love the Fairbanks signing. Would be nice to have one legit arm in the BP. Larnach trade needs to happen. Nice work overall.
  14. thelanges5
    Talking is not the same as signing. Last year they waited until February, the year before they waited until end of December.
  15. thelanges5
    100% agree with Nick Nelson on this post: I know the Twins are mostly gonna wait out RP market and that's fine, but if serious about trying to compete next year, they have to go get one standout FA before they're all signed. Right?? Someone like Luke Weaver or Pete Fairbanks would at least give a baseline of legitimacy.

    Gleeman: Twins are one of just four MLB teams that haven't signed a free agent to a major-league contract this offseason, along with the Red Sox, Nationals, and Rockies.

    Having no plans or at least not communicating any plans leads to rampant speculation. I agree that it would be comforting for the leadership to show us some strategy. Having some financial flexibility only sounds good because of how far down the payroll has fallen. Dodgers paid $168 million in luxury tax. That will likely be $50 million more than the twins entire payroll.
  18. thelanges5
    As if Twins Territory needed any more numbers to remind us of the Pohlads right-sizing the business. Posted by Codify Baseball - 2025 Luxury Taxes (via @spotrac): Dodgers, $168,657,856 * Mets, $86,194,127 Yankees, $60,205,499 Phillies, $48,112,313 Padres, $10,000,000 Blue Jays, $10,000,000 Astros, $1,105,612 Red Sox, $937,181 * - higher than the individual payroll of 12 other teams

    Keep the young man in a one inning or one time through the lineup limit. He pitched a little better when he was not being used in a long relief role.
  20. thelanges5
    Sign Kim and trade Larchad for a reliever with mlb experience. Sounds good to me!
  21. thelanges5
    I don’t love the idea of trading Royce, but I could probably get past that. Falvey did say they were going to get creative. Trading for Abrams is outside the box thinking. Rather see them trade from SP depth - Ober, Martin, and a few prospects. Put Abrams at 2B and slide Keaschall to LF.
  22. thelanges5
    He told them that he’s got that wide receiver mentality. That’s like a cheat code for keeping the young man happy and engaged. I say lean into it help him get his head right. See if that translates to on the field performance.

    Justin Lebron - let’s go Twins

    Per Bobby N: Another big Dodgers offseason addition: Former Twins manager Rocco Baldelli is joining their front office, linking up again with Andrew Friedman. https://www.startribune.com/rocco-baldelli-former-twins-manager-joining-los-angeles-dodgers-front-office/601542875

    No one else is reporting this and the link takes me to a article about the Vikings?
