    "In just two months as an outfielder,..." Says it all. If he's still a bad defender after an offseason of outfield focused work we can revisit this.

    This is where the Twins get it wrong. You're better off overpaying for an actually productive player than fielding an entire team of low cost players who cannot produce. Sure, you can't stock the entire team with overpriced players (unless you're the dodgers) but a couple don't hurt that much. No where near as much as the regular demoralizing losses. We're still paying Houston $10M/yr for relieving us of our last scratch and dent acquisition. Compared to that contract Jeffers for a year looks pretty good. EDIT: And let me add, my strong preference was to trade Jeffers at the deadline. Offering him the QO is a bad second option. I say it's better than letting him walk for nothing at all.

    I think it was a comment from another sport, but if I recall correctly an executive once said "There is no such thing as a bad one year contract." I was in favor of trading Jeffers at the deadline, but having missed that opportunity the QO is an absolute must. Ideally Jeffers declines it but if accepted what's the downside? The Twins have to actually pay a player what he's worth? After decades of acquiring scratch and dent players at scratch and dent prices it won't kill the team to just this once pay market rate for a productive player.

    Elevating KC was supposed to improve our defense. Last night was the first time I've seen him play and he was flat out bad. Really hoping that was first game nerves. The team is running out of positions to hide defensive liabilities.

    Sure they can, and should. Thinking they are in the race is the problem. Twins needed to sell, not buy. I've been enjoying the team playing over their heads much of the season; I like seeing them win. I do, however, realize they're playing over their heads and would never have traded away prospects in an effort to polish a turd.
  26. shimrod
    Agree on all points. Twins should have been selling.

    Guardians calling up a rookie tomorrow . Yankees did yesterday. Those teams are clearly not as well run. To be fair, Rodney29 was giving his opinion of what the Twins won't do, not what he would or wouldn't do. I don't see any indication he meant to argue the Twins are well run.

    Nothing like a successful deadline to fire up the team. Woof.

    Perhaps Walker is included in the upcoming Skubal trade.

    Twins adding salary? I think you meant to post this in "Just for Fun".

    It has nothing to do with being good or bad. The best managers in baseball get fired. It has to do with relationships getting stale and getting a new voice in the clubhouse. We'll never know if firing Rocco earlier would have pulled the Twins out of the doldrums, but it was certainly worth a shot. The fact multiple Twins regulars have looked better under Shelton is a clue.
  34. shimrod
    Left unsaid is what prompted the turnaround. Red Sox fired their manager and multiple coaches. Twins are currently playing at or above their talent level - this is not a call to remove Shelton. Just a reminder for the "a manager doesn't make much difference" contingent from a couple years back.

    It's all bluster and bravado until he actually strokes the check. Someone more media savvy than me can insert the Judge Smails meme.
