    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.
  4. Glorybound
    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.
  7. Glorybound
    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.
  10. Glorybound
    One has to ask if you were Joe Ryan would you sign an extension with the twins?
  11. Glorybound
    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.
  12. Glorybound
    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.
  13. Glorybound
    The Ryan extension window has long passed. Sorry just the way things are. The real world sucks.
  14. Glorybound
    Logically speaking you are right. Ownership is going to do nothing of the sort.
  15. Glorybound
    Just as damning is the bullpen that they fielded in 26. Zero chance this is a pen that could win a division title.
  16. Glorybound
    His contract for 2027 is an option year for the Twins from my understanding. They likey don’t use the option if he has surgery.
  17. Glorybound
    When ownership is this big of a cluster@@@@ it’s pretty hard for front office to overcome. For all we know Falvey might have wanted to sign some legitimate bullpen help but was denied. The do nothing approach is going to make this season the most miserable possible.
  18. Glorybound
    If Ryan needs TJ then his Twins career is over. It would be a shame if that is the case.
  19. Glorybound
    Nothing is going to be easy for this Twins team. When you are counting on Topa to get the last three outs the percentages are rather low.
  20. Glorybound
    Well after losing a half a billion dollars on the Twins the Pohlads need a break. I think they sell off further. There is no way they plan to put a winning team on the field in 26.
  21. Glorybound
    The base running after the trade deadline was a message from Rocco that he was going to do things his way. I wonder what it would have been like if he was allowed to do things his way the whole 7 year tenure. Might have been quite a bit different.
  22. Glorybound
    Well at least we now know there is some money available “when the time is right”. I know some think that the new minority owners are going to help bring some money in to get this right again. I personally believe that the new owners likely don’t give two flips about the team winning and are only interested in their return on investment. Consequently I see some post season trades being made that will get payrolls down much further still. I don’t think there is a plan by ownership to put even a competitive team on the field the next two seasons. I am sorry that is just what I see.
  23. Glorybound
    The Pohlads claim they have now lost a half billion dollars on the twins. Hard to believe right and they still own the team. It’s really hard to trust people that lie to you.
  24. Glorybound
    The sad part if the story is ownership thinks they are good at what they do.
  25. Glorybound
    This franchise has never been farther from a parade than today. Ownership will have to change to direct the ship on a course for a championship. If that doesn’t happen I hate to tell you but more seasons like this last one are in the future. “Right sizing” the payroll will continue next season and beyond.
