Twins Lose Eric Orze... I wouldn't say the Twins "lost" anything. Good luck in Chicago
-
Good. It was the correct choice. Don't stop there. Start negotiating a 3 or 4 year deal with him to keep him here.

I agree with trading, but not that return. I agree that Lewis needs to be traded or non tendered. I agree with trading or non tendering Ober. No to Bauers. He was a career negative war player until this season. He may just have been a late bloomer and continue this output, but I dont want to be the guy that pays that much to find out. Perhaps a 1B could be part of a Ryan trade return? Soroka is an awful idea. How many back of the rotation guys do we need? Raise the ceiling here. Go all in on Michael King leading our rotation. If im running the team, my opening day starting rotation is Michael King, Taj Bradley, Connor Prielipp, Dean Kremer, and Pablo Lopez. I put Pablo 5th because he is coming back from the 2nd major elbow surgery of his career. There is no guarantee he'll be effective. Same situation in the BP. We have middle inning guys. We need to raise the ceiling here, too. Sign David Bednar to be our Closer. Jeff Hoffman can get the 8th inning. Possibly sign another arm for the 7th. Then we have plenty of arms to fill out the rest of the pen. Milwaukee just won the WS with dominant pitching. We dont need back end starters and middle relievers. We need what we dont have. An Ace and a Closer. Find a big masher to play 1B and hit Cleanup and we might just have a contender.

Who Will Be the Highest Ranked Free Agent Signed By the Twins?

I wish them well. Id like to resign Banda to a minor league deal. After his bumpy start, he was lights out until his injury. Sabato just didn't develop the way we hoped. Maybe he'll get a chance somewhere. I really hope they dont plan to resign Gray to any sort of deal. He was awful, even in AAA

Our pitching staff needs new additions to raise the ceiling. Both the Starters and BP underperformed last season. Whether we trade Ryan or not, we need to bring in a front end starter. My choice is Michael King. Teams like the Brewers and Rays make a habit of trading expiring contracts for a haul. Maybe thats the direction we should take with Ryan? He would obviously help this season, but unless an extension is signed, it may be best to move him. Moving Ryan doesnt necessarily mean keeping Ober, either. I'd like to see a rotation led by Michael King, followed by Taj Bradley, and Connor Prielipp. That leaves 2 open spots for a list of folks like Joe Ryan, Bailey Ober, Dean Kremer, and Pablo Lopez. What if Pablo isn't ready? So if you Trade Ryan and it turns out Pablo isnt ready, do we go with Ober and Kremer until Pablo is ready? Then what happens when Pablo is ready? Neither Ober or Kremer have options. Do you really send down Prielipp if hes pitching well? This is still an issue if Pablo is ready to start the season. We dont have enough arms with options remaining. Zebby and possibly Paredes? Its a huge decision to trade 1 of them. However, if Ryan is traded, it almost makes more sense to trade Ober, too. Get some AAA starting depth. I know what I would do, but its probably not what the team will do.

Id like to see Ryan Jeffers back, David Bednar Closing for us, and Michael King leading our rotation. We also need another big bat, but not an outfielder or Jazz.

Could Paul Goldschmidt Give the Twins a Platoon Solution?
-
All respect to Paul, but no thank you. Borderline HOF. Could possibly be a good mentor if he accepted the role, but we have a giant black hole at 1B. Our roster has too many platoon guys already. Adding another isnt going to solve anything.

Austin Martin Has Reached A Crossroads

I was thinking we'd probably see an outfield group of Byron Buxton Walker Jenkins Luke Keaschal Emmanuel Rodriguez Alan Roden I figured Martin played himself out of a spot on the 26 man roster.

Vesia would be fine, although Minter would be great, as well. Both solid lefties. No to the other 2. I dont trust any player from Houston. David Bednar is the other guy we need. A solid lefty and a high end Closer and suddenly our BP looks a whole lot better

Jeff Hoffman Should Get First Crack at Minnesota Twins’ 2027 Closer Job

Could add Mauer to the list, too. If he hadn't dealt with the issues that eventually moved him to 1B, how much better of a career would he have had then? Same with Kirby Puckett. Had that pitch not hit him in the face, how much longer could he have played? Sure, these guys are HOF already, but injuries really took a lot from them, as well.

Absolutely not. Do you even want to win? What is so many people in heres obsession with mediocrity? Our bullpen has a floor. We need a higher ceiling at many positions if we want a chance to contend. Closer is one of those positions. Im so tired of reading so and so already on the team should have a chance for blank position. No they shouldn't. If the position is open, thats because we dont have the guy in our system right now to fill the role. Closer, Ace, Catcher, and 1B to name a few. We need to raise the ceiling on these positions and get a heck of a lot more out of them.

Lewis wins this award because he was given the most opportunity to perform better. He was healthy. He had nothing to blame but himself for his poor performance. Caratini is an easy choice for 2nd place. How bad would the season have looked without that hot stretch? He was unplayable and was given every opportunity to get into a rhythm at the cost of seeing how well Jackson would perform in a larger sample. SWR gets 3rd because he wasnt here most of the season like Lewis and Caratini were. Essentially the worst player in MLB this season? Wallner get dishonorable mention because of what he was supposed to be to the team. Big bat clean up hitter. He didnt get enough time to win the award, but what a disappointment its been to watch him go from nearly a .900 OPS to off the roster so quickly.

I agree and my hope is they pay up for a legit closer. The teams left in the playoffs all have high end BPs. We wont get far without one.
