Really nice approach... -
That'll work!
-
Eh, Luke that was the pitch.
-
Would be nice if Luke went yard here...
-
Good start, VC...
-
Fundy!
-
Come again?
-
Come on Fundy...
-
Phew...

I believe it was CP's fingernail... Tom Pohlad trying so hard to be likeable.
-
Oh, geez. Patch Adams is here.
-
Welcome back, Mr. Roden!
-
Good eye, Royce.
-
This is irrational of me but there's something about Rocchio. Just seems like a really irritating person.
-
Welp, this turned into a clunker.
-
Wind out of their sails a little bit at the plate.
-
Luke...
-
CP is dealing through two...

Just brutal. I don't care what excuses the booth wanted to make, i.e., the Twins like the contact play and Lee's momentum carried him too far. Nonsense. You can't make a mistake like that.

I don't know. Jeffers will be a commodity and if you're sending him to a big market, they'll likely be able to sign him long term. I think you could probably pry Fernando Cruz and old friend Brent Headrick from the Yankees. They're desperate. Both of those guys would look good in the bullpen right now - Cruz is under team control for 2027 and 2028. Headrick has multiple years of team control, IIRC, through 2031. Gomez / Morris / Cruz / Headrick - that's not a bad back-end group and would make the Twins a lot more formidable down the stretch and they'd be building the pen for '27 and '28.

I'm not sure how much Tom Pohlad cares about the fanbase or how he's perceived - however, based on his comments this off-season, I 'think' he cares at least to some extent. Trading Jeffers to bolster the bullpen or another position of need - that's understandable if not the right move. But, a full-blown sell off with the likes of Ryan, Clemens, Bell, Ober, etc. being shipped out - the attendance in 2027 (whenever the season starts) will make 2026's attendance look like the 1987 & 1991 world series in the Dome.

Trading Jeffers makes sense for a few reasons. Right now, catcher is a position of strength. Jeffers is highly unlikely to re-sign. He could be leveraged for a 'win-now' return.
-
By design. Building him back up to be game ready.
-
Heck of a win. Last few seasons, this would have been a loss. Props to Bradley and the pen.
-
Big time pitching from Taj and now Morris. Insurance run(s) please.
