    Still a little to much outfielder depth probably eventually gonna have to move from that depth to address other areas of need more so AAA wise . Really the main thing going forward will be building up some starting pitching tho they did add a few pitchers in the draft that could see being top 10 ish prospects in the future

    Twins really have no idea what to do with rojas ... Has the stuff of a top of the rotation arm but yeah let's pitch him 3 innings every 4 days instead of either turning him to a high leverage reliever or a starter . Personally think they should be stretching him out as a starter to plan for a injury or a starter bring ineffective down the stretch if he was gonna be doing this he should be in the twins bullpen imo

    Good to see him finally be rewarded I'd guess Jenkins will be following him in the next few weeks great to finally gets some more juice in the lineup. I'm guessing we see Houston head to St Paul now that theres a ss job available for him . Congratulations to the kid it's a well deserved promotion

    Brooks love to step up to the plate with a chance to turn a loss into a win . Maybe saved the season but we'll see if they can stack some wins going forward. Honestly they should get some help from st Paul they clearly need more offense jenkins clearly ready although doubt it happens until they can get away with keeping his rookie status in place for next year on the off chance he wins roty I believe that's coming up in the next week or so feels like if they didn't care about burning a year of service time he'd already of been in the majors we'll see if twins can hold on that long without losing to much ground in the standings

    Alright man time to wake up and call up someone who can provide value no reason gray or Jackson should be on the roster pretty wild they didn't move Jackson the moment they decided to keep Jeffers really stupid roster Management to roster 3 catchers while your top 2 catchers are healthy . Bullpen being improved won't matter if your scoring only a few runs a game .

    Giving up dason hill for a okay reliever certainly a choice but I guess to zoll it don't matter because if twins flame out down the stretch he's probably getting replaced after the lockout . Always possible hill flames out but struggling to see a scenario where he's not at minimum a high leverage reliever . Be interesting to look back in 5 years on this one certainly feel like it's gonna be looked at as a whiff he'd have to he elite for the next few seasons for this trade to even feel close to worth it . Maybe I'm to high on hill think he's worst case a quality 5th starter with a real path to being top of the rotation assuming Toronto can rein in the command hopefully I'll be wrong and it's a twins fleece but yikes so many better options if you were trading your best pitching prospect would of wanted a younger arm who's not already showing signs of regression

    E rod this weeks away I don't think he completes his rehab and come to the majors think they get him in 5-7 games at St Paul before it's a possibility but he'd also have to play well . Hopefully he does play well because man martin has fallen off a cliff production wise and roden really providing nothing besides a occasional single looks more and more like a quad A player . Personally I'd keep kriedler at SS until culpepper comes to the majors gray is to bad to be playing at SS which they'd have to do atm if kriedler played cf it's why it's so weird they didn't just call up Jenkins to play center hopefully buck don't miss to long offense pretty suspect without him
  8. Sampson5
    Solid move would of rather a strikeout artist since that's what pen is missing but getting a reliable pen arm for 2 low level prospects is solid work hopefully they add a reliever that has high strikeout stuff tho . Also think they should add a infielder preferably that can hit lefties that way can give other guys days off vs lefties instead of playing them because we got no other option
  9. Sampson5
    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
  10. Sampson5
    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
  11. Sampson5
    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
  12. Sampson5
    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 .
  13. Sampson5
    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
  14. Sampson5
    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
  15. Sampson5
    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 .
  16. Sampson5
    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.
  17. Sampson5
    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
  18. Sampson5
    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
  19. Sampson5
    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
  20. Sampson5
    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
  21. Sampson5
    Feels like a future reliever at some point in the future but could just
  22. Sampson5
    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
  23. Sampson5
    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
  24. Sampson5
    Well the good news for people who hate these projected moves is after losing 3 of the last 4 games twins are looking more and more unlikely to buy unless they get it together pretty quickly it's far more likely they sell then actually trade any meaningful prospects but honestly the most likely scenario is still they add a few low level guys without giving up anyone in the top 10-12 current prospects which is probably smart because if we're being honest twins are unlikely to make the playoffs with this bullpen and zero starting pitching depth
  25. Sampson5
    With the twins have 3 years of control I doubt he see a extension maybe once he's in his contract year . Twins will at least wait until pablo off the books before paying him pohlads were never having multiple highly paid pitchers at the same time they have a payroll of 100 million and have cut it more every year not sure where people are getting the idea the twins are open to raising it . While you could get him at a discount right now don't think we see any extensions until new cba agreed to
