Hip Sends Byron Buxton Back To Twins' Injured List
Sampson5 replied to Steve Drumwright's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Called up the saints worst hitter lmao if being on the 40 is today's excuse for refusing to call up a good player fedko and wallner on the 40 and both actually playing well enough to earn the call up . Laughable that gray played terrible since the demotion and he's back in the majors -
Does feel likely he's moved but don't think it's for sure the Yankees he's the best chip they are willing to move that can get them major league pitching back without trading a top prospect which don't think they wanna do . Sure yanks have pieces to get him but so does every other contender who wants a catcher at the deadline feel like they'd probably try their best to send him to a team they won't have to play if they make the playoffs

Why not do both add a few arms to help the bullpen be more reliable so they have a chance but also ship out a piece or 2 to free up abs for your top prospects who are ready to be called up to the majors as soon as a everyday role is open for them . Rays do it all the time and still go on playoff runs pretty much every year

Anthony Volpe Headlines Intriguing Ryan Jeffers Trade Proposal

Look forward to Tait getting higher in the minors so we can actually see what the defense looks like when the pitchers are better or at least less wild strike throwing wise . Could help him eventually being on a team with lackey who can give him some pointers on defense. Worst case he's a dh/ 1st baseman who hits 30 homers but can also catch in a pinch similar to ben rice . His power alone is making him a mlb regular in a few years .

Twins Prospect Hot Sheet: Eduardo Tait Starting to Erase Doubt
-
Interested to see what they qualify as buying is it just add a high leverage reliever ? Or is it a reliever and a starter . Still think they move one of the catchers unless they just plan on eventually just dfa Jackson when they eventually decide to call up culpepper to play SS while could be the plan . Wouldn't say this means they aren't trading jeffers tho he's the best chip to actually get a good pitcher assuming they aren't trading a top prospect which I doubt they do

Id take a swing on volpe improving with less pressure but if your doing that I wouldn't also want a risky reliever who's been terrible this year gotta be at least 1 for sure piece coming back imo

Minnesota Twins 2026 Trade Deadline Superlatives
Sampson5 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Wonder if the Yankees would offer elmer Rodriguez for Jeffers that's the type of deal I'd be interested in since he's near mlb ready and twins could immediately call him up not sure yanks would actually give him up for jeffers . Hard to know what his value truly is while he's good he's a pending fa who missed a big chunk of the year injured guess we'll see in the next week .- 21 replies

Idk how they can keep wallner in St Paul with a near .1000 ops probably tells you they plan on moving on my guess is if he's not called up prior to the deadline he's getting moved to a team who believes in him personally rather have him in the lineup over roden especially when they have clemons & keashall in the outfield mix . Need culpepper to get hot so he can force the twins to call him up that way kriedler can get more days off the magic means to be running out in a everyday role even if defense still elite not to mention it's clearly about time for Houston to be moved up a level I mean he's hitting over .300 in AA in about 30 game sample safe to say he's ready for a challenge.

Call up Culpeper to the mlb so we can get Houston to AAA bro needs a challenge and clearly AA isn't a challenge for him at all kinda crazy that he's already looking like he could be a early 2027 option for the twins kinda thought he'd take a longer development but he's been legit elite as a contact hitter unfortunate for Culpeper tho likely means he's getting moved off ss pretty early into his mlb career since Houston is a elite SS

Probably wouldn't of liked it in the moment but I'd do it now for sure lmao I can understand not wanting to trade a elite pitcher for prospects in AA not sure I believe this tho when at the deadline the reports were red Sox called right before the deadline and pretty sure it was reported they never made a offer because twins wanted one of their mlb outfielders feels pretty convenient that the package isn't revealed for a year when said potential prospects are both playing well but if true id be understandable for twins to want pieces that were ready to contribute immediately would of been nice to have both prospects currently tho when it feels inevitable twins will trade Ryan anyways

Only trades that really move me are Seattle & dodgers the Yankees package is cool but I'm not trading any of our best players to a rival but the biggest problem is no chance Seattle trade kade anderson especially when they don't even need pitching if they actually offered that package id take it without a second thought . It's to bad padres don't got any elite prospects anymore they love getting robbed at the deadline still can't believe they gave up one of the next prospects in baseball for a reliever who they are now shopping 2 years later. I'm just hoping that if Ryan is moved the return isn't disappointing like most the trades at the deadline last year were felt like he should of gotten more in all the non rental moves
-
Shouldn't trade Jeffers unless it's for a starter close to mlb ready who you could have start a few times in St Paul then immediately call up to the mlb or trading him for a mlb arm . Trading him for a prospect who's years away really makes no sense unless they fold between now and the deadline and are forced to sell . Honestly if it was me id extend Jeffers and trade caratini

Twins Minor League Report (7/22): St. Paul Smackdown
Sampson5 replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Any idea when Culpeper will be getting off the il ? Miss watching him abuse AAA pitchers 🥲 also be nice to have him knocking on the door of a call up again now that kriedler trending back down to earth as a hitter so unfortunate that all our good prospects immediately get hurt before they get called up hopefully that changes personally think Culpeper & Jenkins can help the twins make the playoffs assuming they open up room while also adding some additional pitching help with whoever they can replace at the deadline- 20 replies

Brooks a demon on the road I'm just gonna assume he hates target field the way most his production is on the road . Cool to see the offense bounce back I had doubts when I saw a lineup with both buck & jeffers not playing be cool to split this series tomorrow
