    Lopez, Ryan, and Bradley will be at the WBC so there will be plenty of innings available for Zebby and Festa in ST. Keep them stretched out for now, no need to make the decision until later in camp.

    Good idea. Is Zoll a member on TD? He should read this. IKF and Andujar have signed at 1 yr $6m and $4m respectively. At this point Lowe is in that range. Larnach + MiLB pitcher for Romero (Cards) or Vodnik (Rox) Sign Kopech while they’re at it.

    IKF - 1yr/$6mm with the Red Sox

    He’s got the top average fastball of the guys currently in the BP. Curious to see what Maki and Hawkins can do with him.

    Cardinals are apparently looking for an outfielder. In steps Trevor Larnach. They have some lefties so that’s not great. How about Larnach + pitching prospect for JoJo Romero? Anyone else in that bullpen that’s intriguing? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/02/cardinals-rumors-add-outfielder-trade-free-agency.html

    Twins claim Jackson Kowar RHP from the Mariners. 40 man at 40

    Tom does say he wants to be competitive. Let’s do it why not?

    Plouffe has long been one of my favorite Twins and I like listening to him on his jomboy shows. I heard him say last week that he has been working with Matt Wallner. Here is an article from Puckett’s pond, saying the same thing. Love to see it! https://puckettspond.com/trevor-plouffe-predicts-breakout-season-for-twins-slugger-he-s-been-working-with-01kftx91867d

    The rotation is a strength. Maybe the only one the Twins have right now. The roster is a puzzle with all corners and edges and that bullpen?!?

    Just saw the terms of the Caratini contract and thought I’d share. Caratini will make $4M this season, and $6.5M for 2027. There is a $3.5M buyout on a $12M mutual option for 2028.

    Luis Arraez - 1 yr $12mm with the Giants

    Falvey’s job was getting harder. It’s hard to win with no resources. Payroll, scouting, tech, development all heading in the wrong direction budget-wise. Just like Baldelli, Falvey will get hired again. We’re stuck with the Pohlads. Tom thinks his business sense and clubhouse vibes are worth wins on the field. He is overestimating both. I liked this bit from a Souhan piece this morning: Tom Pohlad has yet to say anything that would inspire confidence in a discerning fan. During a Zoom news conference on Jan. 30, he asked that we stop obsessing over payroll size. He also said that if the Twins win this year, then the payroll will go up. Which ignores the fact that sometimes you have to increase the payroll to win.

    Pohlad Optimism
    Going to be hard with their jumbled roster and lack of high leverage relievers.
  14. thelanges5
    Kopech and Drew Smith have high ceilings but comewith injury risk. Call the Rox back up and work out some sort of package including Larnach for Vodnik.
  15. thelanges5
    This organization continues to baffle me. Tom did say he was a go big or go home guy.

    Julien traded to Rox - 40 man at 39
  17. thelanges5
    More cash considerations. I guess Julien isn’t going to rule again. At least not in Twins Territory.

    Down to 14 days until pitchers and catchers report. Still the same questions. ⏳
  20. thelanges5
    FanDuel just released their 2026 Over/Unders: They’ve got the Twins at 73.5. Addressing the bullpen with 1-2 more experienced arms and fixing the jumbled roster may add a few wins but this seems like where they’re headed.
  21. thelanges5
    Buck will miss most of ST due to his participation in the WBC. This will provide us with a lot of different looks in the outfield. Let the battle for back up centerfielder ensue.
  22. thelanges5
    “If the Twins trust Larnach in left field (something that wasn't true in 2025)” I agree he can be useful against RH pitchers but the quote above details his biggest challenge. Too many DH types on this jumbled roster.
  23. thelanges5
    Also they’re not sitting Jeffers 70% of the time.
  24. thelanges5
    Astros reportedly looking for LH bats. How about Larnach + someone for Sousa Or Blubaugh? (pick a Stros reliever not named Okert)
  25. thelanges5
    A few more names from mlb.com. Also on the list: Trent Baker, Noah Cardenas, Cory Lewis, Christian MacLeod, Ricardo Olivar, Aaron Sabato, Tanner Schobel and Patrick Winkel.
