    "I do not know what 'strategic flexibility' means anymore, but I can type it very fast." That's a phenomonal line. This might be the best non-Randballs Stu satire article I've read.

    So basically the entire group that was running the team in 2022-23 is gone. In 2022 we had J. Pohlad-Levine-Falvey-Baldelli-Correa. Now, since they are all gone, we have T. Pohlad-Zoll- Shelton-Buxton. And yet even with all that change, I am not convinced at all that anything is going to change for the Twins.

    Sounds like a lot of fun, but there are a lot of young pitchers coming up so there are probably better ways to spend at least 15-20 million a year. 20 million dollars invested into the bullpen could go a long ways toward getting a competitive bullpen. Now, of course, if the Twins did sign Framber Valdez, you will not hear a negative comment from me.

    The Twins needed to do this. For a bit I was worried that they were just going to leave the bullpen without any additions. I still think they need to bring in another reliever, preferrably a righty to further bolster the bullpen. Evan Phillips and Seranthony Dominguez are names I would target. As it stands right now, my choice for bullpen would be Funderburk, Sands, Orze, Topa, Rogers, Adams, Festa, and Klein.

    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.
  12. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
  14. Permanent Twins Fan
    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
  15. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
  17. Permanent Twins Fan
    So turns out you can fire an owner. Who knew?
  18. Permanent Twins Fan
    Well, we now know who the 2026 First Baseman AL Gold Glove award winner will be.
  19. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
  20. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
  21. Permanent Twins Fan
    Reading that line made me a bit depressed. It's amazing how far we've fallen in 12 months.
  22. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
  23. Permanent Twins Fan
    Matt Mikulski, the guy the Twins got for Correa was released by the Twins in October of this year.
  24. Permanent Twins Fan
    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.
