    The grittiness of Shelton’s team is quite evident. I would give Buck some of the credit for positive leadership also. Things that have been lacking the last couple of seasons. The Abel injury sounds serious.

    So we have a crappy bullpen and now we are considering trading the one guy who has consistently been able to close games? This is the most absurd article I have ever read on TD. Simply makes zero sense.

    Ever since he said he didn’t do slumps he has struggled up until his last ten games. It’s like the mental part of the game is the hardest for him. Recently in an interview he did when he was in St Paul he mentioned once again that he was the first player taken in his draft. If he still has to tell us that he is special then all hope might be lost. He needs to just focus on the next pitch, the next at bat, the next game and quit the crap about where he was drafted. True superstars live for their next chance and don’t worry about the last game or what happened yesterday. There is reason to believe he can still be an all star but he needs to quit looking backward. I believe his problems are 100% mental.

    This bullpen misses few bats. Hard to see this changing much without some talent infusion of some sort.

    I was never on board that this was a .500 team. Might as well continue with the rebuild at the trade deadline. Once you start a rebuild as they clearly did last season you have to continue the process. There is a chance that they have some future stars in the young players but one never knows for sure. The mental makeup of some of the developing players might need some refining. Royce Lewis comes to mind and maybe a couple of pitchers fall into this category as well.

    Momma said there would be days I mean seasons like this. Hopefully Lewis is ready to roll from this point forward. His team needs him to be a lot more than he has been this season.

    Because even as an arbitration player Joe is going to cost more than our cheap owners want to spend.

    The time to extend Ryan was two years ago. The value was there and ownership missed it. Be that as it may today is today and this 2026 version of the Twins isn’t going anywhere. I still think it is a mistake to hold him much after the all star break. There is a window of opportunity to get max value for him. As a fan I would love to keep him but it doesn’t make sense.

    Enjoy the Joe Ryan experience while it is here.

    So many things involved here that the average fan just has no real idea what all went into this decision. I have no idea how coachable SWR really is. Personalities matter when performance isn’t measuring up and we just don’t know the behind the scenes stuff. The poor guy had a tape worm surgically removed last season. He actually pitched effectively once he got back from that. This year not so much.

    Joe Ryan’s trade value will only go down the longer you hold him. The bullpen demolition done last year pretty much determines the path forward from this point. If you wanted to extend Joe then that should have been done 2 to 3 years ago. The hands of time don’t turn backwards. If I were a team looking to acquire his services I would be willing to pay more now knowing I have him for two postseason runs as opposed to just a rental for one postseason run providing he stays healthy.

    One has to ask if you were Joe Ryan would you sign an extension with the twins?

    While that is true, why not make the most of the asset you have instead of letting that asset depreciate. I think Ryan’s injury scare and Lopez’s injury highlight this pretty well. If the Twins keep Ryan till fee agency and make him a qualifying offer they get a compensation draft pick. That would be a waste of an opportunity in my book. Once again the 26 Twins will not make the playoffs. 27 perhaps, but this current lineup has some holes that need filled.

    It would be front office malpractice to not trade both Jeffers and Ryan prior to the trade deadline. This team as it is will not make the playoffs. Trading Ober should also be considered since we are trying to save money.

    The Ryan extension window has long passed. Sorry just the way things are. The real world sucks.
