  1. I think we should try to trade Larnach, Wallner, Lewis and Ober. Get the best prospect return we can. If we can't get any return then release them and spend the money elsewhere. We need a starting catcher until Lackey/Tait/Diaw is ready. Need a long term answer for first base. As for pitching, I'd say one more solid SP, a lefty would be nice. For the pen a closer would be nice, but I'd be fine with any type of two late inning arms. At least one lefty. Maybe Abreau and Minter.
  2. Minter and Abreau would be good enough for me. Then go out and improve the lineup by signing a decent catcher for a year or two and getting a legit power hitting first baseman. Dump Lewis, Wallner and Larnach for whatever we can get.
  3. We have a few good looking hitters in the minors. Of course after Culpeper, Jenkins and Rodriguez all got called up we have a lot less. I'm more worried about the pitching prospect pipeline. Mainly the fact that we don't have one. We really should have traded, Jeffers, Ryan, Larnach, Bell, Wallner, Martin and Rodgers for whatever we could get...
  4. I think we are close to competing as long as our young players contribute at a good level. We need a legit power hitting first baseman to replace Lewis. Need a closer, a lhrp and maybe one good SP. A rotation of Lopez, Ryan, Bradley, Kremer, Abel/Prelipp/Rojas looks legit. Zebby and Festa should help the pen.
  5. I think we need to trade Lewis and Wallner for whatever we can get. Sign a power hitting first baseman. Would love Yandy Diaz. Sign a lefty SP. Need a closer and one more high end relief pitcher. This might get us a central title in '27.
  6. We should be playing and starting Jenkins, Culpeper, Keaschal, Rodriguez and maybe even Sabato every day. We need to get a jump on next years lineup and decide where we need to improve in FA. I'd say we are set in the field everywhere but catcher(depending on the Jeffers situation) and first base. Royce has had his chance, we need to do better. Aside from that, we need pitching, pitching and more pitching.
  7. Lots of good looking position prospects. No pitching to be excited about yet really. Quick needs to work on his control, same as Rojas. Might have something there if they can find a way to limit walks. Any updates on Soto or Canterino? Hopefully we find a way to inject some young high upside pitching in the off-season.
  8. He's played 8 games in high A. I'd be shooting for 2028 at best. Meaning we need a legit catching tandem for the next two years. Rolling with Caratini and Jackson is going to leave us weak at that position. Maybe Diaw will be ready sometime in '27....
  9. It's hard not to be excited about some of these minor league hitters. Diaw is hitting great. Lackey and Tait at C. Houston hitting.300 with 50 SB! Only problem is, the lack of pitching prospects. We got a good start drafting arms this year, but hopefully we acquire some pitching in the off-season.
  10. E Rod is out of options, he'll need to make the team next year. Larnach will likely be gone, so why not give larnachs starts to Rodriguez and let him get some big league experience. Especially because he's been swinging a hot bat!
  11. Nice to finally get an update. Canterino has been the Twins' lock ness monster lol. Really hope he can stay healthy and maybe even be a bullpen weapon for the big league club next year.
  12. We really need pitching. Quick is one of our top pitching prospects and he has been lit up at AA. Really hope we can somehow aquire some young pitching with upside this off-season to go along with all the arms we drafted. We also need some of those guys to pan out.
  13. I really like Keaschal and he's been fun to watch. But I'd call it a real stretch to call him one of the best hitters in the AL..... If he can shore up his defense, get a bit better at stealing bases, he could be a great leadoff hitter in front of Culpeper and Jenkins.
  14. Nice outing for Quick. He's got elite K stuff. More experience and innings pitched and he could be a solid starter. Tinney has got some power! With Vaughn also hitting well they should get Tinney reps at 1b. Wouldn't it be great if both these guys work out?!
  15. Lots of hitting to be excited about. I'd say the opposite with pitching. I'm glad we drafted arms heavily this year, but I think we should have tried to get some more upper minors pitching depth at the trade deadline. Larnach, Bell, Rogers should have brought back something....
  16. Good question. They really should have traded Larnach for pitching.... They need to find a way to clear out the OF logjam and turn it into some pitching talent.
  17. Hard to not be excited about some of these hitters. Tinney sure looks like he has some legit power. Jenkins and Rodriguez hitting like they want a call to the bigs. On the other hand, my god is our pitching crap. We have not one arm in our minor league system we could call up to help the big league club. I really hope they address this somehow in the off-season.
  18. Buxton and Larnach are totally lost at the plate right now. I've got to believe a Jenkins, Rodriguez, Mendez or even Wallner call up could give the offense a bit of a jolt which we desperately need.
  19. Very exciting young player. Guys like him and Keaschal that play the game hard everyday with passion are fun to watch and generate hype and momentum. Would love to see a lineup this year with Keaschal, Culpeper and Jenkins in it!
  20. Hopefully Quick can build on this outing and continue his development while staying healthy. We don't have too many arms in our top prospects lists so Quick will be important.
  21. Twins need to clear out some of these outfielders and try to trade them out for some pitching.....
  22. Tinney looks like he's got some legit power:) Twins have some really good looking hitters in their minor league system. Pitchers, not so much....
  23. We should have traded him, it's pretty clear now that this isn't our year and we need to plan on competing in '27 and beyond. We could have gotten a top 100 prospect who was MLB or near MLB ready for Jeffers....
  24. He's looked pretty good this year. .250 batting avg with 20HR isn't bad.
