    I like the rotation and depth, bullpen needs 2-3 outside adds, position players are a bit of a mess. Hard to put the puzzle together with the wrong pieces. Still time until ST so I expect some moves are coming.
  2. thelanges5
    Still waiting for those external additions to the bullpen that Falvey was taking about. There is still time, but pitchers and catchers report in 5-6 weeks.

    Schultz would be a great addition and he has two options left. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/blue-jays-designate-paxton-schultz-for-assignment.html

    Twins have signed Orlando Arcia to minor league deal with an invite to spring training. He hasn’t played that well lately but can play SS and brings MLB experience to the roster. He had a pretty good 2023 .264/.321/.420 Can he be a good utility infielder for the Twins in 2026? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/01/twins-sign-orlando-arcia-to-minor-league-deal.html

    A couple other options for the Twins: Junis - https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/junisja01.shtml Johnson - https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnspi01.shtml

    Thanks for the analysis and targets. Twins need to sign 2-3 relievers with MLB experience. Dominguez and Coulombe would work out great. Stay away from the $1mil Jackson/Staumont-types.

    Once Falvey gets to know Tom a little better, he’ll find out that he’s a go big or go home kind of guy.
  8. thelanges5
    This move doesn’t move me. How about that bullpen? Larnach + Bragg for Vodnik would’ve been a better move.
  9. thelanges5
    To be competitive the Twins will need many of their young guys to take a step forward. I liked what I saw from Martin at the end of last season. He played a little second base too, but I’m not sure how he looked there? If Buck continues to want to bat lead off, maybe Martin could bat ninth so he’d have someone to drive in?

    Now about that bullpen…
  11. thelanges5
    Slightly different adaptation than what I recently saw at my local community theater.
  12. thelanges5
    Nothing to lose with a MiLB signing. I’m intrigued.

    Pirates signed O’Hearn - 2yrs, $29 mil https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/pirates-to-sign-ryan-ohearn.html

    There have been a lot of events over the past two years that make me feel like we’ve hit rock bottom; we aren’t quite there yet. Pohlads exploring new lows for Twins Territory. Gleeman: Twins are out-spending the Pirates by just $5 million right now.
  15. thelanges5
    Last year we got Mickey Gasper on Christmas Eve. Maybe Falvey Claus will surprise and delight us again in 2025?
  16. thelanges5
    They could sign Bregman, Tucker, Bichette, and Bellinger and they’d still lose games if they don’t figure out the bullpen.
  17. thelanges5
    Actions speak louder than words. Most of what Tom said was good but some of it was a little off. On a recent Gleeman and the Geek, Aaron and TFT said 70/30. As in 70% of what he said was the right stuff and 30% felt odd. Regardless, the Twins are one of only a couple teams that have 1 person in charge of business and baseball operations. Falvey should only be doing one of those roles. I’d say put him on the business side and get somebody new in to run the baseball operations.
  18. thelanges5
    I agree and think that he would’ve been a good target for the Twins. Never heard of them being linked to him, so I’m sure they weren’t even thinking about it.
  19. thelanges5
    AL Central is getting spicy! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/white-sox-to-sign-munetaka-murakami.html
  20. thelanges5
    Larnach + MiLB arm to the Rockies for Vodnik. or Larnach + MiLB arm to the Padres for Rodriguez or Marinaccio. If Kreidler can play SS and CF, keep him as the back up and DFA Outman. This open 40 man spot can be used to sign Taylor Clarke to the bullpen for $2.5-$3 mil.
  21. thelanges5
    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.
  22. thelanges5
    SWR is out of options so he’ll be in the rotation unless he gets hurt or gets traded.
  23. 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.
  24. thelanges5
    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/
