    One more observation for all the Poland’s are cheap crew. Three, yes 3, out of 6 AL playoff teams whose payrolls were lower than the Twins payroll made the playoffs. Eight teams with higher payrolls didn’t make the playoffs. How could this happen? My oh my. A solid farm system, excellent player development and solid coaching are the keys to a successful ball club. Not the amount of money spent on payroll.

    Good grief - the writers on Twins Daily are hell bent on trading Ryan, Larnach, Jeffers and Buxton (if Buc would agree to a trade). They are also constantly writing that Bailey Ober and Zebby Mathew’s are unreliable starters. Then consider that Pablo Lopez is coming off Tommy John surgery and there is no guarantee he will be the old Lopez. Abel and Prielipp are still unproven as being reliable and who knows which Kremer will show up? Why in the world would you trade Ryan? What holes are so damn bad that you would give up a bonafide All Star starter and for what, more prospects? Stupid, just plain stupid!

    Since 2019 Lewis has had 4 primary hitting coaches and numerous co-coaches. That plus learning 2-3 different positions. Gee, do you think his head might be overloaded? I can’t wait for the numerous thumbs down I get on this one!😂

    For a bunch of alleged baseball geniuses I find your hypocrisy amusing. Two months ago it was Royce Lewis is the great savior who would lead us into to the playoffs. Now he is the scapegoat. I guess he has to hit a grand slam every at bat even if there is nobody on base. According to Morneau, Lewis has played an excellent first base this year. Yes, he has slumped these past 4-5 weeks but he is still hitting .245 + since being called back up on June 6. Not far off from Lee, Clemens, Bell etc… who you all think are fantastic. Lewis has also been at the bottom of the lineup where pitchers can pitch around him. The pressure on him is to hit even though he isn’t getting much to hit. Take your stats and stick em. He is playing a decent first base and he is a much better hitter than you give him credit for. Go ahead and rip me - your over analysis of Lewis is laughable.

    I don't see much of anything happening this offseason until the CBA is resolved. I believe the Twins will make Jeffers a qualifying offer after the World Series. If he signs the offer they could still trade him at some point. If he doesn't sign and becomes a free agent the Twins can still negotiate with him on a multi-year contract. It will be interesting to see what happens after the CBA expires December 1st. If there is a lockout obviously both sides will have to compromise to get the season rolling and nobody knows what impact that will have on free agency, salary caps, revenue sharing etc... If the players and owners can agree on revenue sharing and a minimum team payroll it shouldn't be a problem paying Jeffers big money - the Twins will need to up their payroll by 50+ million dollars. If there is no minimum team payroll/ revenue sharing Jeffers, if he doesn't sign, would be taking a chance on free agency under very uncertain conditions. If I were Jeffers I would sign the one year $24 million offer knowing he would be getting a huge increase in salary and still be a free agent the following year.

    Good grief - over 80% of all stolen bases are stolen off pitcher and not the catcher. No catcher on earth can throw out a runner with a 25 foot head start.

    I still can’t understand the negativity towards Lewis. Contrary to the article writers opinion I believe he is playing a darn good 1st base for the little time he has had a chance to learn it. In addition, two weeks ago we kept hearing that Lewis was the man to put the team on his back yet now he’s a bust. Give the guy a break. Since being called up from the minors his batting average is on par with the rest of the team. Put him between two good hitters so the pitcher has to pitch to him and you will see his average rise. Way too early to give up on him.

    Phenom? Really? I hope he becomes a great player but it’s a little too early to call him a phenom.

    Why bother trading them - it would just end up being another trade where we are on the losing end. What are the number of good trades we have made in the past few years - perhaps 1 out of 10.

    Here's a novel idea. Keashall couldn't play 2nd base because he lacked range going to his right. He obviously is not fit to play CF. Why don't you move him to 3rd and move Lee to 2nd. There is no real need for Keashall to have a lot of range to his right playing 3rd base. Lee has range in both directions. Thoughts?

    You said the same thing about Lewis.
  32. Maybe Next Year
    Where are all the experts on Twins Daily who said Lewis and Lee are total busts who can’t hit and can’t play a position? Just asking.

    Just another trade for an average to mediocre pitcher and giving up way too much in prospects. As long as the current Twins management team, including Shelton, is in control put your head between your legs and kiss any future World Series goodbye. Let’s trade top 100 prospects for broken down washed up veterans when we could just as well bring up youngsters who will do no worse and yet get some big league experience. No way in hell we are going to the World Series this year but what the hell - let’s trade great prospects for has beens simply to perhaps make the playoffs! I can’t wait for those of you that disagree to share your opinions.

    Stupid, absolutely stupid manager! Bottom of 9, 1 out and men on 2nd and 3rd. 1st base open. Does Shelton walk the bases loaded to force an out at any base? Hell no! Does Shelton walk the bases loaded to create a potential inning ending double play? Hell no! Instead he leaves 1st open, and pulls the infield in to prevent the bunt which is ok. However, if a bunt is fielded cleanly, without the bases loaded there is no force out at home making a perfect throw to the plate necessary. With the bases loaded the bunt isn’t as much of a weapon. Had the bases been loaded and the batter has two strikes lowering the chance of a bunt you could pull the infield back and try for a force out at home or a dp. Way more options with the sacks full. Just really stupid to leave 1st open.

    If the CBA gets approved for the 2027 season with a minimum payroll of $171 million the $8 m for Larnach won’t matter. The Twins will need to spend $60 million more than they are this year.
