    I guess it depends. If he believes the new owners will be willing to build a good team around him and make a serious run at competing, then I expect he would stay. Say he has a great, healthy year in '25. Then with new owners next off-season they still stand pat and don't add payroll. With a productive first half of '26 season I could see him asking for a trade to a competitor. You couldn't blame him either. If the team that signed you goes back on their promises to keep a competitive team around you, there would be nobody blaming him for dipping out

    As long as these new owners prioritize winning over profit margins, it will be a major plus in my book. Something needs to be done to get MN fans back after we've been completely abandoned last year.

    Nothing but minor league signings, a rule 5 draft pickup and a few lottery ticket international signings. Hard to get excited for the season after an off-season like that...

    Would have been nice to get the "flame throwing young pitcher" that ATL got

    I think they need too look past which side he hits from and make Keirsey our fourth outfielder. He can play all three positions including a good CF and I think he'll hit better than Martin. He can also give us some speed and stolen bases, something we sorely need. I doubt we'll see much of him without an injury to Larnach or Wallner since they seem intent on finding a right. I really hope Wallner can limit his strikeouts as and stay healthy. In a full year I can see him blasting 30+ homers easy

    Jax is our best reliever and I like the idea of keeping him in the pen. The only reason he doesn't get more national attention is because he's not our closer and can't rack up saves. I can see the Twins trading Duran at the deadline if we're way out of it by then. Maybe Jax becomes our closer then

    Could this go down as the most boring twins off-season of all-time?
  8. LambchoP
    I don't think we have anywhere near enough offense to be a playoff team. Especially with Correa, Buxton and Lewis basically only being part time players. We need at least one more impact bat, preferably at first base. Still need another SP and a LHRP too. I don't expect the team to fill any of these holes externally unfortunately:(. New owners in town yet?!?
  9. LambchoP
    While I would love it if E Rod makes his debut and immediately becomes an impact player, I think it's a long shot. He hasn't tried to hit in AAA yet and really he only has what, less than half a season at AA? I think it's a bit early to talk about his debut. Let's see if he can hit in St Paul and more importantly, stay on the field.
  10. LambchoP
    If they won't sign Chafin or any other lefty for the pen, maybe they trade some combo of Paddack, Helman or Henriquez to acquire a LHRP. We really are going to need one, can't expect Funderburk to be our guy. I think we have enough backup outfielders with Keirsey, Martin and Rodriguez. Not to mention Castro. I'm more worried about first base and pitching. Miranda could be a decent bat, but I don't think he has the power we need at 1b, but it looks like we're stuck with some combo of him, Julien and Keaschal. As for the rotation, I think having Festa and Mathews start in AAA would be very beneficial. If we can dump Paddacks salary I think signing the lefty throwing SP Quintana to be our number 5 would greatly improve our rotation. He's predicted to sign for close to the same salary Paddack would get.

    Wasn't Camargo one of our top 30 prospects not too long ago? I don't understand all the hate and speculation that he's a throwaway DFA candidate soon. Isn't he a good hitter, at least in AAA? Maybe if he actually got a chance to play in the bigs during his next call up, rather than warm the bench, he'd surprise us. Hope to see how he does behind the plate in spring training.
  12. LambchoP
    To me this just sounds like the Twins finally admitting that we're just going to stand pat and keep the same roster as last year. If we get better health from our core guys and production from guys like Keaschal, Eeles, Festa, Canterino, maybe Mccusker and Rodriguez, it might not be too embarrassing of a season :). I think next year's off-season will be the one to prep for, as long as we get the new kind of ownership we're all hoping for.
  13. LambchoP
    If this sale goes through, then the team needs to play well. If they are competitive at the trade deadline, maybe we would actually have money to be able to add to the team unlike last year. You'd think new owners would want to make a statement and get fans back on their side next off-season. Vlad might be a pipe dream, but a couple decent signings would go a long way towards repairing the hate and distrust of past cheap ownership.
  14. LambchoP
    What about Eeles. You never hear about him but he could be a major factor in our infield if he hits like he did in St Paul last year. Dude has good contact skills and can steal bases. The next Willi Castro? I'm wondering where Keaschal will be playing. Do they see him as our first baseman of the future? What about Severino? If he has a big year, this might be his last chance at a MLB debut. I think Erod and most of these young pitchers need to prove they're healthy and effective for decent stretches in AAA before counting on MLB innings and at bats. Most of these SP have barely pitched any AAA innings.
  15. LambchoP
    Maybe Vasquez and a prospect for Peralta, but we can't move our one and only legit catcher.
  16. LambchoP
    I sure hope all these hyped up prospects end up being successful major league guys because until we get a new owner, what we already have in our system is what we've got to work with.
  17. LambchoP
    It's well known we have a lack of good catchers in our system. Still, I'm not sure Jeffers is our long-term answer. I think we should trade for a young, heir apparent catcher and let him learn from splitting time with Jeffers until his contract is up.
  18. LambchoP
    We need a first baseman, RH hitting OF who can cover CF, and we need a good lefty for the pen. If anything, we might get the relief arm if we can dump Paddack. The other roster holes are going to need to be filled with our own guys. I anticipate a lot of debuts this year. Hopefully some of them actually pan out and do well. Otherwise, we could find ourselves in fourth place only above the minor league like White Sox :(
  19. LambchoP
    Maybe Harold Ramirez, the other two don't look like an improvement over what we already have in AAA or AA.
  20. LambchoP
    The fact that the rest of the division hasn't improved a ton makes it all the more frustrating that the Twins continue to refuse to even TRY improving this team. Minor league signing and maybe a salary dump or two. That's our off-season. But don't worry fans, we're still committed to winning it all this year, so come to the ballpark and spend your money! Sad.
  21. LambchoP
    I think if he finally gets a definitive roles like 4rth OF and gets enough consistent at bats, I think he along with Keirsey can be serviceable fourth outfielders. At least until Rodriguez and Rosario are ready. The fact Martin hits RH should help his cause, even though Keirsey probably has the better bat and can cover CF. I think we're ok in the OF, especially if we keep Castro. I'm more worried about first base and pitching.
  22. LambchoP
    If we can get him cheap enough I say go for it. We're obviously not targeting anyone better than this and we need some lefty pitchers on the team. Give him a few starts in ST and if he can't hack it, keep him stretched out as a multi inning reliever. I think those types of guys are very underrated who can come out of the pen and pitch 3 or 4 innings. That's pure gold to a bullpen.
  23. LambchoP
    We're not getting Roki, as awesome as that would be. Twins need to trade Paddack to open up a little wiggle room money and then trade for a legit major league first baseman. I'd go for Diaz, Bohm or MountCastle. I do like Miranda's bat, but not as our starting 1b. I think he's better as the first man up as injury replacement for Lewis. We also need a good lefty for our pen. Something needs to be done, and soon.
  24. LambchoP
    Minor league deals usually aren't ever a bad idea, unless the team is planning on using that guy as an everyday starter! If we're not going to trade for any real first baseman, instead of signing a bunch of minor league nobodies, why net let our own prospects fight it out in spring training for starting positions. For first base we've got Severino, Keaschal, maybe Eeles or Mccusker. The fourth OF spot we can handle with Keirsey and Martin. At least until Rosario and Rodriguez are ready. First base, and a LHRP are the spots we need to address first and foremost. Catcher also, if we trade Vasquez.
  25. LambchoP
    I think they need to hurry up and trade Paddack since they already have offers. Then do what we can to dump Vasquez'. That should give us enough money to trade for a decent first baseman. Yandy Diaz or Alec Bohm would be great. I've also heard rumors about MountCastle from the Orioles. If we can't pull the trigger on those, maybe Donovan Solano could be a backup plan. Good hitter with good on base skills. No power, but he should be cheap which might leave us enough money leftover to sign a 4rth outfielder or more importantly imo, a lefty reliever. One things for sure, they need to do something and soon.
