    Oh, and the Tigers are just an annoying team. Vierling, Carpenter, Torkelson, McKinstry. Pesky and they don't go away. They also have a pretty good manager. Will be glad when the Twins are done with them for the season.

    I'll eat an appetizer portion of crow on Wallner because I was ready to trade him at the deadline. He's showing that he could very well be a long-term fixture in the outfield.
  3. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Jordan Luplow claimed off waivers. Not sure on any corresponding moves.
  4. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Not adding to the bullpen when Stewart is likely headed for TJ surgery is just mind boggling.
  5. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I'll add that watching Lopez pitch is a lot of fun. When he's on his game, he's as good as anyone. He's absolutely the kind of pitcher that can win game 1 of playoff series - if the offense actually scores a run.

    Egos are a powerful thing... I'm not Rocco's biggest fan but I feel bad for the guy when it comes to Gallo. I think he does his best to keep him out of the lineup and even when he is playing, Rocco will yank him for pinch hitter in a pressure spot. But, I suspect the front office gets in his ear if Gallo gets too many DNP's and forces Rocco's hand.

    I can somewhat understand not grabbing a RH bat. Maybe the front office feels that the likes of Pham and Hernandez wouldn't move the needle all that much with Lewis being close to a return and Polanco being back. Okay, fine. But...there is absolutely no excuse for failing to add to the bullpen especially when Stewart looks like he could be heading for TJ surgery. This front office has a tendency to overcorrect. They swung and missed last August. This year, they don't even pick up a bat. It is amateur hour in Minnesota.

    Eduardo Rodriguez vetoed a trade to the Dodgers.

    Sox appear to be totally tearing it down. Division is there for the taking over the next couple of seasons. Twins really need to get it together and take advantage.

    White Sox traded Burger to the Marlins. Weird trade. I know Burger's stats aren't great outside of the homers but he's under team control for 5 more seasons. Seems like the kind of guy you hold onto for at least another season and see if you can sell high.
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    We'll see. Still a lot of names that were all but definitely going to be traded. Whether or not to the Twins - remains to be seen.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Agreed. He hasn't been great this year but he's been stingy in the past and he'd be a clear upgrade from Moran. I'm presuming (hoping) the Twins have a few things in the works...
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    D-backs send Chafin to the Brewers.
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Been a relatively quiet deadline so far. Will there be a flurry of deals over the next 2.5 hours?
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Tigers close to trading Lorenzen to the Phillies.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Same. Been a long time.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This is the last update I could find - as of July 5th... Gordon is no longer wearing a boot or a cast on his fractured right tibia, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports. Gordon is able to walk around normally now but has not been cleared to start running, nor is he sure about a potential timetable for a return. The utility player has been sidelined since mid-May.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    DFA is the way to go. Maybe if they acquire a bat (or two) today, they'll need to DFA Gallo to open up a roster spot?
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Verlander to the Astros.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Might not mean anything but Wallner, Kepler and Gallo are in the line-up for tonight's game.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Also, Cuddyer was a sneaky good athlete. He could play two corner OF positions as well as 1B, 3B and even 2B. No way could Wallner do that.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Agreed on Wallner. He 'could' be a masher but he's just as likely to be a left-handed hitter with a huge hole in his bat and marginal defense in the field. The prospect label could be shed really quickly. I don't think he factors into their long-term plans so the time is now.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    I meant in regards to trades. The Pohlad's aren't the issue. At all. I was referring to last year's trade deadline. Was it enough for them to tell the front office to stand down and keep the status quo?
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    If the Pohlad's haven't handcuffed the front office from making moves - and honestly, if they did, no one should be upset after last year - I expect them to make 2-3 trades. Their jobs depend on it. They don't win the division in 2023 and people are going to be or at least should be fired.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    6 games left with the Guardians. Does anyone have confidence in the Twins winning more than 2 of those games? The Rocco factor looms large.
