Not the guy to go all-in on. Especially with Culpepper and Houston on the team. Twins need a Nelson Cruz replacement. Someone you can park in the three or four spot that consistently produces. Those types are expensive, but this lineup needs it.
A guy like Yandy Diaz might fit the bill this offseason.
Blue Jays don’t make it to game 7 of the WS without him. They also probably don’t lose game 7 without him. I like the trade but he’s going to be a rollercoaster. Mostly great with some painful blowups sprinkled in.
How about take a pitch in the top of the ninth? That was pathetic. No chance with those at bats. Like to see the Twins playing the Brewers tough. Was worried after those KC games.

The Twins will need a starter this weekend in Milwaukee if Ryan can’t make his next start.
“Now comes the fun part. With roughly two months remaining, it feels like this division belongs to three teams.”
Not sure I’d count out the Tigers at this point.
A lot has been made of Joe Ryan’s second half struggles, but don’t forget about that offense. They’ve also struggled for the third second half in a row.
If the offense doesn’t figure it out soon, it won’t matter how Joe Ryan‘s back is doing.
