    You don’t say. I really wonder just what were the actual assessments on Louis Varland? I will add that if you can’t asses what you see every day you likely can’t make good decisions on personnel on other teams.

    Even with minimal injuries it takes about 7 or 8 starters to get through a season. Zebby’s home and away splits are wide enough that they are likely doing some research as to why. He could be a valuable starter as someone that can get you 6 or 7 innings and really save a bullpen. I would not be surprised if they start the season with a 6 man rotation because of Lopez coming off tj and Ryan having a penchant for blowing up in the second half. They really need Zebby as a starter.

    His biggest problems in 26 were health and control. He needs more innings as a starter or long reliever to be ready for a late inning reliever. I think the Twins managed Preliep pretty well this past year and think Rojas will be managed similarly next year. The rotation if healthy is a little crowded at the moment so AAA might be the best place for him to get those innings.

    Communication is necessary to have success in any business. I have no first hand knowledge of who listened or didn’t listen to whom but the results are somewhat obvious. It’s ok to be wrong once in awhile but successful individuals learn from their mistakes. They had the individuals highlighted in the article in the system to know somewhat what they had and yet they let them go. I never understood the Pressly trade and the Varland trade is a mind blower for sure. In both cases they left the organization without a pitcher who could close games. The consequences the following seasons are reasons to be fired. I think Falvey is a bit of a dreamer and while capable of identifying talent but lacked the follow through to see talent develop as that takes time. The current gm would do well to recognize the mistakes and not repeat them. They need to find a pitching coach that is a blend of Wes Johnson and Pete Maki that can develop young talent and have enough respect that front office listens to. Hawkins might be that person I suspect he has a good repore with management currently.

    Not necessarily. I don’t know the inside scoop but he was a hold over from the last staff so it just might not have been a good marriage so to speak. Nothing changes if nothing changes. There needs to be some changes if you want to see improvements.

    I guess it’s however you want to look at it but the 26 season is over. The question I have is do you have a reliable closer on the team for 27? I have some doubts. Let’s all hope Hoffman is ok physically because if he is not they still have a thin bullpen for next year.

    I will always remember him for his last trade he made at last season’s trade deadline. Not a sign of intelligence at all.
  24. Glorybound
    Why the rush to trade him now? Might as well ride the horse till the trade deadline.
  25. Glorybound
    As bad as this team needs bullpen arms I am not sure what the worry is. It’s not like they are making big money. Next year is a prove it situation for this bullpen. Finding a real closer is a far bigger concern if I am the gm.

    Proof that closers don’t grow on trees. The Varland trade looks to haunt the franchise for some time it appears.
  28. Glorybound
    Non of that group was acquired during the last two off seasons.
  29. Glorybound
    With the exception of Banda who have the Twins aquired via trade the last two off seasons that had any long term value? And Banda might be a stretch to say he qualifies. They didn’t sell at the deadline so now it’s time to pony up during the off season. I said in June it would be GM malpractice not to trade Ryan and Jeffers before the deadline as this team was not a playoff team. The bullpen was not addressed during the offseason after a botched Varland trade. Likely still don’t have a real closer unless Gomez can get to the next level.

    Yes they are going to have to make some trades if they are going to improve the major league roster for 2027. Hitting on a couple of free agents would be helpful also. This idea that all we have to do is develop our homegrown talent is not going to put a winning team on the field or fans in the stands.

    I guess I don’t see ownership offering a qualifying offer. Past performance as the indicator here. I guess we will see.
