  1. The AFL always sneaks up on me every year. The regular season is barely over and then this one starts. But hey, it's a rare chance to follow some of the Twins' players in the off-season. Thanks for the reports!
  2. I'll wait for the jury to decide that one too. Meanwhile, as others have said, this was a very good article, highlighting a pitcher that many of us don't know too much about. As always, thanks for these articles.
  3. No doubt there were other packages on the table too. Who knows. But I'd still trade an injury-prone vet for prospects and a pitcher (okay, that guy WAS a total waste), But Gonzalez still could end up being a useful player. The jury is still out.
  4. Yes, he had value and had been productive, but he already had a worrying injury history, not to mention the PED suspension. If I'm the Twins I'd make that trade again in a heartbeat.
  5. Plenty of hits and misses over recent years with pitchers. I had faith that guys like Alcala and Woods-Richardson would be productive, only to see them flailing and failing. That said, it seems like we end up losing more good arms than holding on to them.
  6. For sure, and even the much maligned Emilio Pagan would be welcomed back at this point.
  7. Yeah, if the Twins are truly serious about competing the next time baseball happens, they will need to add someone of substance if we lose Jeffers.
  8. Yikes! I hope that isn't what happens. I'm still holding out hope that Tait will make some adjustments and become the player we hoped he would be when we acquired him. Never say never.
  9. Many have mentioned Henry Davis of the Pirates, a former top draft pick that has struggled mightily in the majors. Good defensive tools from what I know, but he has yet to hit even above the Mendoza line. For all those folks who complained about Vasquez and Caratini I don't think Davis will be the answer.
  10. Certainly short-sighted. Perada ended up playing pretty well for Seattle this season.
  11. This article just caught my eye, but not sure how realistic or valid it is. Some writer from Bleacher Reports suggests that the Twins might trade for Logan Gilbert. What do Twins fans think? https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/twins-predicted-land-star-blockbuster-221525422.html
  12. Some of our favorite Twins players on that list, but based on the season's performance, I think only Taj Bradley is deserving of a vote.
  13. ... Ryan to earn approximately $9.6 million through arbitration for the 2027 season. That's a significant raise from the $6.2 million he earned in 2025, but in the current starting pitching market, it might also qualify as something Twins fans haven't seen enough of lately: a bargain. The question is whether that bargain makes Ryan more valuable to the Twins or more attractive to other teams. It should do both, of course, but will it do one more than the other? And if so, what action will that prompt from the team? All good questions. I'm surprised that he wasn't traded this past season. So, at this point, it seems as if it would be prudent to keep him, at least until the next trade deadline. Maybe we are contenders at this point, or maybe not. Maybe there won't even be a season. I remain uncertain and sitting on the fence. But as others have noted, Ryan gives off the vibes of a player that is looking for greener pastures. If you can get fair value for him, by all means make the trade.
  14. Díaz has one remaining year of team control at $13 million. That makes him a prototypical Rays trade candidate. Very true, but I just don't see Tampa parting with a beloved player like Diaz, especially they make it to the World Series. And as DJL44 noted, he's not much of a first baseman at this point.
  15. I hope the Twins are not planning on using Sabato next season. I don't see him as any sort of answer or improvement.
  16. Not at all. I appreciate your insight and input. That's why I come to this site whenever I can. I'm still wondering how many teams actually WILL try to make moves before that December date. With so much uncertainty surrounding next season (when will it start, or simply WILL it start) I'd be surprised if there is much if any trades or signing until things are clearer.
  17. Yep, we could certainly use Jeffers for next season as a catcher, but beyond that we won't need him unless he is used at DH or 1B. Too many good young catchers in our system who will or should be ready by 2028.
  18. I was wondering about that too. What was the source of the longer recovery?
  19. That's a reasonable take, but I doubt the Twins front office would even factor that into their decision.
  20. I know that Soto keeps having injury issues, but they don't seem major ones at this point. Does it seem like he will be healthy heading into next season or is it too early to tell?
  21. I always enjoy your posts, and I respect your opinion so I'm asking this question out of sheer curiosity. Why will December be the timeline for the Twins to make any transactions? I realize the upcoming labor agreement and potential lockout is a factor, but I'm fuzzy about what sort of strategy the Twins will or won't have in regards to moves during this odd off-season. Do you think they will truly be active?
  22. Seeing Emma Rodriquez homer in his first game with the Twins was also a very fun moment.
