    Keep Paddack and roll the dice. Start Zebby at AAA. We used 8 SPs last year and could use the depth.

    If they deal Paddack they’ll need another SP. They used 8 SPs and without Paddack we’re planning for Raya, Adams etc for 2025.

    That picture reminded me that I dislike Winker 👎🏻

    There is certainly a time and place for platooning. I agree with some of the other posters that we seem to do it more than any other team. We do it too early in my opinion and sometimes lose a good lefty bat in the fifth or sixth inning when that bat will come up again. We also don’t seem to look at all of the data such as reverse splits. Manaea is a good example of this where he is worse against lefties, but we will go to the Al alrighty lineup against him.

    What if the payroll dumping assumption is wrong? I have seen they won’t reduce payroll but have they ever come out and given a number? What if they just run it back?

    Gasper trade takes the 40-man to 39. Cold stove continues.

    Yes, yes, 100 times yes! This all makes too much sense. This sale cannot happen soon enough. The younger Pohlads don’t give me confidence that they know how to run a business.

    Only 27 games with Lewis, Correa, and Buck last season. Increasing that number is another key to the teams success. If these two are batting 2-3, is Correa lead off or cleanup?

    Where can I get my own neck fan that dispenses fried rice? 🍚 Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night 🎅🏼🎄

    Did you see any plantar fasciitis inserts when you were at Walgreens? We should help the Twins stockpile those.

    We would’ve been outbid by the big market Guardos.

    Hip Hip Jorge! Not excited by either one of these guys but this is where the poverty Twins will be shopping in 2025.

    FalZoll - lets go get Diaz!

    Twins used 8 SP in 2024 so if we trade Paddack we’ll need Matthews and at least 2 more ready for the MLB. Put the pipeline to the test.

    A lot of 2025s results will be dependent upon how these guys perform. Especially with the self imposed payroll constraints the Twins have. Need a full season of Lewis. Promising article by Dan Hayes about Lewis’s approach to the offseason and training with Larnach.

    Rolling the dice on a lefty middle of the rotation arm. I’d hate to lose Keaschall but I’m in the camp of needing more rotation depth.
  18. thelanges5
    I agree with a lot of the posts on here so far. I’d like to see him play for a full season. If he has a good one I know that’ll drive up the cost, but that gives us a little more certainty.

    We can have Nishioka help with the presentation. 👍🏻

    Note to C4 💥 - just keep wearing the New Balance kicks. #saynotonike

    Pohlads “right sizing” the payroll is the only reason that this is a topic. Normally owners stay the same or at least keep pace percentage wise from year to year. This team should have a $160-$180 million payroll. Just my 2 cents. Of course it’s not my money to spend.
  22. thelanges5
    Love to see some more of our young guys perform well enough to earn this in 2025. Our season depends on it.
  23. thelanges5
    We used eight starting pitchers last year and we all saw the results of that down the stretch. Without Paddack (assuming he gets traded) we are already planning to use Matthews, Raya, and Adams this summer. I would still argue that we need another starting pitcher. Sasaki - hope that Zoll and Falvey have that presentation ready to go!
  24. thelanges5
    Love to see them emphasize winning now. Of course that’s what I want as a fan, but I also think it would increase the value to any potential buyer. Unfortunately, the Pohlads are right-sizing the business, and looking to extract money from their franchise in the short term.

    R5 RHP - Eiberson Castellano 40 man is at 38, room for a couple free agents 😁
