Jamie Cameron:
The #MNTwins are promoting top prospect Walker Jenkins to AAA.
Jenkins hit .309/.426/.487 with 7 home runs (19 XBH) and a 156 wRC+ in 52 games as a 20-year old for AA Wichita.
Ohl held down the might White Sox offense.
Who’s ready for the Blue Jays? Should be interesting, since we just got smoked by the A’s and the White Sox.
Phil Miller article in Strib:
Recent acquisitions could fill in starting pitching roles vs. White Sox
Taj Bradley and Mick Abel, both acquired in trade-deadline deals, could make their Twins debuts this weekend.
Might be hard to attract free agents into this mess if there is any money. I’m still holding on to a tiny shred of hope that the limited partners are good and that they will help guide this ship.
Only two fellas under contract for 2026 and the ghost of C4. Lots of decisions to be made.
Pablo 21.5mil
Buck 15mil
Ghost of C4 10mil (this may be our 3rd highest salary 🤣)
Twins are hitting .190 with runners in scoring position since the All-Star break. Rank 24th in OPS w/RISP. Mostly awful at hitting. At 7-11 they have the same record as the Astros since the fire sale.

Nice take. Just because you can get your bat to all the balls doesn’t mean you should. Seems like Lee’s head is in the right space and he’s working on pitch recognition and being more selective. Not sure where he ends up defensively but I like him as a Twin.
