The chance of the Twins holding on to Ryan are about 0.0000000%. Full stop.

At what point do you give up on Outman and/or Wallner. Pathetic is right !!! I am absolutely sick and tired of all the RISP opportunities left behind by Wallner. I wonder if the Twins are afraid of swapping Wallner for Emma because if they do, Wallner might never play another game in Minneapolis? Buy throwing him out there every day over and over just hoping he breaks out is just insanity. Maybe even stupidity.

The last time the Twins had a clear #1 starter, like a Verlander or Clemons, was Johann Santana. I like the idea of Flora too, but not sure they are going to listen to us! I think the Twins mgmt completely ignores TD and PP. It would be nice if they would appreciate what fans are thinking/saying....

ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY SPOT ON!!!

Santana the phenom of phenoms! Blyleven—the Eveready Battery! I thought he was going to retire then zoom zoom another five years on the mound. And so much fun! 17Ks maybe some future phenom can get there but you need Skenes talent and a willing mgr today

The greatest international player ever signed by the Twins (and also my favorite Twin ever!) was the immensely skilled, fabulously talented, and super great guy, MR. Tony Oliva. I don't think we ever had a more gracious Gentleman on the team. In 1964, he was ROY and lead ALL of MLB in hits, runs, AND batting AVG along with being a great fielder, leading all of MLB in putouts. He came in 4th in MVP voting in 64 and runner up 3 times more. 17-time All Star. Just sayin..,.. So, We can find remarkable talent in the international free agent pool. I could never figure out why the Twins never played in the deep end of the pool, where the better talents are lingering...especially when we had such large international free agent bonus pool ($7.3 million this year). Maybe this is just another example of the Pohlads being cheap? They are afraid of spending money--so much so that they traded int'l bonus pool $$$ for a player (Banda) earlier this year! Whew!

Agreed. Cherry picking stats. Compare the first few columns of data-Wallner isn’t even close! Especially look at number of games, RBI. so if we want to send Wallner to AAA to get his hitting back up to par, then why not bring up Emma to play RF full time—his hitting IS up to par!!!!

LOL, yeah, he SURE DID!

Man oh man...I am sorry to say but he was not even close to the 7th best outfielder...maybe the 7th worst! He was dismal at driving in runs, the ideal goal for a power hitter...with 118 runs over those 3 years. Top outfielders like Judge and Soto hit drive in nearly that man runs in one season, not 3! Over three years, Judge: 333 RBI! Wallner's best year, subjectively, was 2024, where he hit 13 HR, but struck out 95 times. Ouch. Not a good year. OK, how about 2025? 40 RBI, 114K's. He is a strikeout machine! Looking at Statmuse, I can't even get down to Wallner's level-his stats are so bad. They only show the top 25 outfielders in any season. So, here's a good question...WHAT the heck happened to Wallner? He looking like he was starting to ascend in 2024 and I know he was injured, but what to his hitting? Starting some time in late 2024, his batting AVG just went into the tank and his K's went throug the roof! He is currently hitting at a rate of around 283 K's for the year (the record for most K's in a year is 223!). He's sitting at #2 right now with 34 (James Wood, who had 221 K's last year, is in first with 36 Ks).

LOL....I am confused to all heck! I am a fan on this site and for the life of me, I was not exacerbated when Larnach was tendered last fall. But, yeah, he is the one that has some actual trade value. As for Wallner...did you mean to say that Wallner's best is not as good as Larnach's worst? Yeah...OK...if we weren't carrying dead weight OUTman, then yeah, Wallner would look stupid being the worst hitter on the team. But that's not all...because he is also a poor RF'er and not at all fast. I hope he finds a fine future in MLB, probably as a DH, with SOME OTHER team!

I can't wait for the 10 games to be over and Wallner is swapped with Emma.

Geez, I'd take Max over Wallner ANY DAY!

I cast all 15 of my votes for Wallner!!!

You guys may disagree, but this was the problem with Falvey/Rocco. Why does this team keep repeating failed attempts with players (Manual Margot going 0 for 30)? How many times do you need to hit yourself on the head with a hammer to prove that it really does hurt? This team holds on to one-dimensional (one-skilled) players like Outman and Wallner, letting them flail away day after day. Its inane. I was hopeful that the "this team will be competitive" mantra and new management might have changed this repetitive failing. Outman and Wallner do not make the team more competitive--they make it LESS competitive.

What happened is that he is now in the Dodgers system where they do a far better job of bringing out players talent and teaching MLB skills!!!
