If they bring in Framber Valdez and/or Eugenio Suarez, there will be no cause for worry about a Taylor Rogers incited frenzy. -
Why?
-
"Over 2000 AAA Plate Appearances" "A more Robust .242/.310/.472"

Compared to what the Twins have right now any of these names seem attractive. I think to be competitive the Twins need to at least 2 more major league caliber veteran relievers, but I won't get my hopes up. Seranthony Dominguez sound especially interesting.
-
The Twins infield defense this season is going to be atrocious. Bell/Wagaman/Clemens are all below average defenders, and the rest of the infield is not good defensively either.

In no universe is Josh Bell or Eric Wagaman going to take away at-bats from Buxton. Buxton will be in the lineup almost every day that he is available for.

There are now two candidates for first basemen Gold Glove award in the AL. The stakes have never been higher.

If Bell does end up being the full time DH there is no reason at all for Trevor Larnach to be on the Opening Day roster. He needs to be traded

It is always nice to get some major league talent for a low level prospect. I don't like DFAing Fitzgerald however. He was decent in his time with the Twins even with limited upside. The Twins really don't have anybody else to back up Lee at short unless they plan on bringing up Culpepper early which I would support. I'm not entirely sure what to think of Wagaman, but it sounds like the Twins now have three major league first basemen instead of just one in Kody Clemens. This likely means that Bell will see a bunch of DH time which even furthers the need to trade Trevor Larnach. I'm intrigued to see how new manager Derek Shelton manages this.

Nice break from a slow off-season for the Twins. I predict Georgia over Texas Tech 34-24 in the championship. Jacob Rodriguez should have won the heisman.

So turns out you can fire an owner. Who knew?

Well, we now know who the 2026 First Baseman AL Gold Glove award winner will be.
-
I think of these names the ones I would most like the Twins to add are Lowe, Toglia, or O'Hearn. Toglia is a lesser-known name, but has flashed some upside with the Rockies. A name I would want the Twins to target in trade talks would be Ryan Mountcastle.
-
Royce definitely flashed a ton of upside when he came up in 2023, but his career has kind of had a downhill trajectory since. I think that the increase in stolen bases, and hopefully a healthier offseason could help him have a good season this year offensively. While the bat has had issues in the last couple of years, he has shown tremendous growth defensively, and I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility for him to have a All-Star caliber season. I think that 90th percentile outcome for Royce this season is 25 HRs 15 SB, and an above-average glove at third base. If the Twins are going to try to compete in 2026, they will need Royce to be a lot better than he has been in the last couple of years, both on and off the field.

Reading that line made me a bit depressed. It's amazing how far we've fallen in 12 months.
-
The lower minors catching for the Twins actually looks really good. There are a lot of names with some upside. Tait, Jiminez, Diaw, and Caraballo all have decent upside. The only problem is the Twins essentially have zero catchers outside of Ryan Jeffers above AA.

Happy Carlos Correa Day!
Permanent Twins Fan replied to Eric Blonigen's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Matt Mikulski, the guy the Twins got for Correa was released by the Twins in October of this year. -
I don't think either of Rosario or Fedko are likely to get claimed by another team. I was a bit surprised the the Twins didn't protect Culpepper, and I think he is the most likely one of these four to be claimed. The Rule 5 draft has never been something I really paid attention to before, but now with a lot of the Twins acquisitions maybe coming in it, than I will be following it more closely this year.

I blame you, too

If it was up to me, I would put Zebby in the rotation in place of S-W-R. I know that S-W-R flashed a bit of upside in the second half of last season, but he has now thrown over 250 innings with the Twins, and has yet to show any real consistency. The Twins aren't likely to compete with this roster, and I think that Zebby is more likely to slot into their future plans than S-W-R is. I would also put Festa in the bullpen in place of Prielipp. Ideally, I would want to give Prielipp a little bit more time to try to prove himself in the AAA rotation, and Festa seems destined toward the bullpen anyway.

It's good to see Luke recieve a well-earned bonus after this season. I agree with the sentiment that pre-arbitration bonuses are one of the best things that MLB added with the Collectective Bargaining Agreement. Keaschall is one of the bright spots for the Twins in 2026.
