    Garcia was worth a flyer, I guess, but its okay to move on from struggling 39 year olds. If he wants to stick around like Carlos Carrasco in AAA for the Braves, fine. Call up Bowman from AAA, he has been the most effective Saints pitcher even at age 34. If we're going to ditch Banda - which I don't think we should, yet - might I suggest adding Aaron Rozek. Organization guy, Minnesota guy, left handed, breathing and has been effective between AA and AAA this year at age 30.

    It would be difficult for Fedko to be worse than Outman so why not give him a try at least until Lewis is back. Then decide if Kreidler or Fedko is the 26th man..

    Anyone else remember when we opened the season with Tippy Martinez, Joe Niekro and Steve Carlton in the bullpen? 600 wins and 130 saves between them and all were toast and gone by the end of April with era's over 10. Experience has its place but a pen full of mid 30s guys is, uhh, suboptimal. It's ok to move on from from the once golden oldies..

    Hey Funderburk gets the job! Good move Twins. No offense to either but ditching 36 and 37 year olds on a non competitive team is the right direction. Now about adding Lawyerson... :)

    I'm interested to see what Cody Lawerson can do. Pitched well at the end of 2025 in MLB and has pitched well in Spring Training this year. Seems like he could produce at least as well Hartwig or Bowman and can be optioned. With a bullpen full of +30 guys Twins surely going to have a lot of fill in opportunities this year..

    No offense to Mr. Gray who may be the nicest man on earth but I'm just not clear why we'd trade anyone resembling catching depth for a soon to be 30 year old utility infielder. Seems like we could have claimed Fitzgerald back a few days ago for no prospect and received similar value. 22 mlb games played between 3rd and SS and 111 mlb at bats doesn't seem to rate an AA prospect.

    Rocco always struck me as a nice guy but I'd sure like someone with some experience managing (majors or minors) in 2026. Don't need 3 in a row with no managing experience. Coaching just isn't the same as being the head guy. My concern is they'll continue/finish the fire sale and it'll be 1982 all over again. I don't really want to wait until 2030 for a chance at at .500 record.

    Guess they like losing money

    Holy fire sale batman. I'm stunned.

    Mr. Albers was a fun guy to root for. In 2013 when the twins had Thielbar, Colabello and Albers, Indy leagures all, on the roster it was both a great and terrible time. I always knew when Andrew was on the way our up season was doomed but I was happy to seem him back in MLB anyway. He signed with Seattle in 2022 but failed his physical. His ERA was 3.51 with Seattle btw, not 5.51.

    I don't see any harm in giving him a shot. Bride is hitting .206 for the Twins with no power. We can cycle the last bullpen guy rather than keeping him around to pitch occasionally. Guys without a true position have a hard time breaking through. Rick Short comes to mind. Called up 1st time at 32 after hitting .383 & .456 OBP in AAA. Hit .400 in very brief run in DC. Hit .314, .330, .332 next 3 years in Japan age 33-35. Twins could use someone like that, why not find out if Mr. Gasper can be a MLB hitter...

    I don't know why we can't (okay they can't) just admit that Festa and SWR are 4 inning pitchers right now. Stack them and scour the waver wire/AAA/Indy ball for a temporary 5th starter/reclamation project. Alcala is coming up on 30, he is 166 MLB games in, his whip is 1.808 this year. Its okay to admit he is more pumpkin than prince and use his roster & 40 man spot for new 5th starter. If he gets claimed best of luck to him.

    I love baseball but MLB as well as the Twins are doing a darn fine job of driving everyone away, not just young potential fans. I'm outstate, hours away. 4 people, cheapest F-Sun tickets all year would be 79 total for 4. Plus parking. To sit in the 3rd deck. To watch a bad team that has had rainless rainouts. Maybe I'll just go to a Huskies game...

    Left handed. Breathing. No risk. Why not..
