Update: The CES sweepstakes is over. The O's just acquired him from the Reds for cash and sent him to AAA Norfolk. Mountcastle is now on the 60-day IL. -

For reference, the Twins left Keirsey Jr in a similar roster spot until May 30th. We likely won't see any of Emma, Jenkins, or Gonzales unless there is a trade or someone is put on the IL. Out of any of them, I would say Roden is the best of the bunch that could handle being a bench player. As much as I like Roden, I also see him as a stop-gap player between the players currently on the roster and the Jenkins, Gonzalez, and ERod coming up. One of our biggest complaints during the Falvey era was lack of development of our high round draft picks (Lewis, Wallner, Larnach, Lee, etc.). Yet, we all want them to play now without really knowing where their development currently is at with an entire new coaching staff at St. Paul. Another factor in all of this is the upcoming CBA negotiations. One item on the table is revamping the arbitration rules. I don't want to start the service time clock on the next group of prospects if the rules are going to change after 2026. Someone made the comment that this is likely a transition year and I couldn't agree more. A transition year makes it more imperative that we do not jump start our next round of upcoming prospects until it looks like they can handle the rigors of a major league season. My guess is that we are currently seeing the top end that this team can perform at so let's ride this out while it still looks good.

Today, the Saints burned 8 pitchers today in what appears to be a pseud bullpen game. I'm not sure there is currently a pitcher in St. Paul that they could recall to replace Morris.

Roden isn't exactly tearing it up at AAA. Even with that, I still would prefer Roden over Outman. I lobbied for this during spring training. As for the ERod, Jenkins, and Gonzalez, I just don't see them being brought up right away unless there is a serious injury that would allow any of them to get everyday playing time. It would be a waste to bring them up and leave them on the bench. I do think Roden could handle that type of assignment. Another CF option would be Kreidler. He has played in CF this season in St. Paul.

It's not a full challenge back in the states. It's only 3/4 of a challenge back in the states.
-
The unintended piggyback pitching performance. Very nice by Morris to save the bullpen.
-
I would like to call it The Wallner Effect. Apparently, it's contagious.
-
That 2019 team was always used as proof to show that Rocco knew what he was doing. Here's a thought, Shelton was the bench coach for the 2019 team. What if it was Shelton that really motivated the team as the bench coach? Shelton was also a holdover from Molitor's staff. I'm not suggesting that Shelton is the answer to all of our questions. It does seem early on that the swings aren't nearly as big as they have been in the last couple of years. Sure, there was the 13 game winning streaks, but there were long stretches of losing in between those streaks.
-
Early on, Taj is looking like he is in the last stage in transitioning to a pitcher vs a thrower. A thrower has good stuff. A pitcher trusts his stuff. I think if he trusts his stuff, his efficiency will improve.
-
Did they stock up on Canadian maple bats? Are they bringing them back to Minnesota? Can we leave Outman at the border as a refugee?
-
Has anyone noticed this year that they have not put the expected run graphic after last year?
-
The Clemens bandwagon is back!! Everyone get on board!
-
Now we can tune into the Saints game. Zebby has 3 shutout innings so far in a tidy 35 pitches. Offense lagging so far.
-
I love the light use of ABS challenges today. Saving them all for Jeffers in the 9th.
-
I'm watching through the Twins.tv on the MLB app on my TV, which is why I was surprised by the commercial. Maybe it's tailored to my TV market even though it's MLB.TV. Thanks for the info!
-
I'm going to apologize in advance for being political, but I want to ask a question. Is anyone else seeing a commercial with Tucker Carlson? I'm just surprised that it would be on a Twins broadcast is all. The views on Tucker doesn't matter, it just surprises me that such a commercial would be on.

I could have seen him going batter by batter into the 8th, but it appears like he is done.
-
I wish he would have.....
-
Great job by Larnach drawing the walk. A great job by Lauer as well in giving the Jays some length after the disastrous 3rd inning.
-
Makes sense. Maybe given both have mediocre arms, you give the weaker fielder the position that he is most comfortable playing. I know that Larnach has played more RF than Martin. If you consider Larnach the weaker fielder, it may make more sense playing him in the position he is more comfortable playing.

If you look at the dimensions of Rogers Centre. There is slightly less ground to cover in RF. This may help Martin with a weaker arm. I would also suggest that Martin's speed will help Buxton cover for Larnach in LF.
