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.
-
Taj dealing. Get him some more runs!
-
Brooks! The man is a professional hitter.
-
Fedko...St. Paul called...
-
Just hit one into the outfield...
-
This is what the Guards usually do to the Twins.
-
Uncharacteristic mistakes there. Take advantage...
-
They're in this mess because of investing in the likes of Orze, Rogers, Topa, Garcia, Lawrence, etc.. Soft-tossing, or old, or control issues. They're doubling down. Make a mistake. And repeat it. Time and again. At least change the approach - go dumpster diving, fine but try to identify a different skill set.
-
There's still some residue from Falvey's thinking that he's the smartest guy in the room. Twins really do think the dumpster diving for relief pitchers with questionable stuff and control issues is going to suddenly pay off. Soft-tossing, can't find the plate - what can possibly go wrong.
-
If you keep throwing mud (or an expletive) against the wall, eventually, some of it has to stick. Right?! Whom do the Twins get rid of to make room for Go? I have a feeling it is Raya rather than Adams or Lawyerson. Twins seem intent on making things work with Adams.
-
I don't know what the Twins will do...but, if Tom P. is at the helm for another sell-off in August after his bluster about being a 'contender' - that, coupled with the looming work stoppage - future attendance at Target Field will make 2026 look good.

Twins (Ryan) vs Yankees (Weathers): 7/5/26, 12:35pm
Twins_Fan_in_NJ replied to Brandon Glick's topic in Archived Game Threads
This is the best Twins moment since beating Toronto in the playoffs. Admittedly, a down year for the Yankees but taking 2 of 3 in Yankee Stadium is quite the accomplishment for this team. -
This was a no doubter all the way. Nicely done, boys.
-
And Luke. Buck.
-
Crisis averted...
-
He's not even close...
-
Just throw strikes.
-
An old friend warming up in the Yanks bullpen.

Bell is on a heater right now. Love you see it.
