    I think they should be looking rotation with Rojas.

    I don't think you can find a stronger sign that the Twins should not be buyers than getting shut down by Randy Dobnak.

    Are 30% Playoff Odds Enough for Twins to Buy at MLB Trade Deadline? NO!

    This team needs to build a core before any deadline additions. What is the Twins core right now? Byron Buxton? You can't say players like Ryan or Jeffers because most of the conversation around them trade related. Like it or not, the only chance at a core group is in AAA and AA right now. The Twins need to clear the decks for these guys to come up and establish themselves. You can't keep retooling around a non existent core.

    I'm dead set against buying for the short term. The Twins are where they are by greatly exceeding expectations. I would rather move guys like Larnach, Bell and Jeffers who are clearly not part of the long term future. Those guys won't bring in big time prospects, but they will yield prospects that will deepen the pool and can be used for future acquisitions.

    I will say again, the idea that the Twins are in position to be buyers is fool's gold. They need to stay the course and put the pieces in place for the next season, whether that is 2027 or 2028.

    To put it bluntly, the Twins are not good enough to be buyers. They have stayed in the chase with just enough pitching and an overachieving offense. That offense was never going to be sustainable with this collection of hitters. As the hitting regresses to the mean, the holes in the pitching staff and the mistakes of a sub par defense become amplified. The Twins need to stay the course and continue to develop young talent. Being within striking distance of the last wild card spot is fool's gold. Any move they make should be for beyond this season.

    I still maintain there is no innings increase year over year based on science. If he has 10 more starts with a 5 inning average, that's about 134 innings total, which should be be very doable if they manage his time between starts. I think it's more important to keep him on a starter's routine.

    The Twinsdaily writers' obsession with moving Prielipp to the pen continues.

    Demote Gray when Buxton comes back.

    First off, saying that Falvey consistently produced quality arms in the early years is revisionist history. They are actually doing better in that area now. The emergence of Prielipp and Matthews along with some of the young bullpen arms that are breaking in is indicative of that. There seems to be an organizational shift the last few years. They have moved away from slow footed college power bats (Rooker, Larnach, Wallner, Sabato) and shifted to highly athletic 5 tool players (Jenkins, Culpepper, Houston, Lackey). At the same time, they seem to be addressing the concept of being strong up the middle. The most recent drafts went CF, SS, SS, C. After some hit and miss years, I think they have finally gotten the hang of this scouting and drafting thing.

    The whole idea that Prielipp has to be capped at 120 innings is not based on any scientific study. It's a feel good practice for the front office and training staff. There is nothing that says he can't go beyond 120 innings. Put him on a pitch count and find ways to give him extra recovery time between starts.

    Not to mention Lewis's OPS of .775 against RHP is about 50 points above major league average. Lewis is producing and playing a good first base. He is finally straightened out...leave him alone.

    I think your getting a little over excited about Kendle and Gomez. Both have a very small samples at AA and are 24+. I also wouldn't say Kendle has consistently hit every year at every level. His 2025 season at high A was not good with a .236 average and a .705 OPS.

    I felt a lot better about these picks until you listed the other players these area scouts recommended.
