No one is cheering for losses, I’m simply hopeful for a consistent competitive team. Trading part of the future away to say a Hail Mary for a team that’ll likely be ranked 24th in payroll or worse come next year is dumb. there are ways beyond free agency to increase payroll to contend. The Pohlad’s chose to cut almost 30 million after winning a playoff series and did nothing to boost the roster. There’s nothing that tells me they’ll own the Twins any differently moving forward. As for Ryan, I don’t want them to trade him either but there’s likely a lockout next year that severely impacts your potential to deal him after this trade deadline. Teams that don’t spend letting good free agents leave knowing you’re not resigning them is the formula to perennial 90 and 100 loss teams.

They didn’t spend after the 2023 season. They wouldn’t spend this past offseason. Buying at the deadline sounds like hurting the farm potential to hopefully sneak into a wild card spot, while the team remains a bottom 10 payroll team year in year out. So they’ll let Jeffers walk and get nothing back because they’re not going to extend and they’ll likely let Joe Ryan walk as well all because they’re Pohlad’s don’t want to lose more fans for a Hail Mary chance to sneak in as the last wild card team. Textbook scenario of how not to manage a low to mid-market team. Don’t be shocked if we get perennial 90 to 100 loss teams down the road if this is how it works out.

Brooks Lee's Elite Contact Skills Are Fueling the Twins' Offensive Turnaround

Agreed, it’s a bummer to see so many twins writers paying minimal attention to more advanced metrics. I’ll never stop shaking my head at the Mike Trout comps that originated from baseball writers for Luke Keaschall last year

Luke Keaschall Might Be a Much Better Outfielder Than He Was a Second Baseman

It seems more and more that we’re going to see an unexpected trade before the deadline. Moving Royce around to other positions and now Luke in the outfield while having six major league quality outfielders in Saint Paul means that something has to give here. You deal from a point of strength here and retool for the future. There’s no way to get everyone ABs with 2 corner OF spots. I have a couple names in mind that I could see getting moved but will keep it to myself for now.

The Twins Could Look Completely Different After the Trade Deadline
-
They’re still 24th in baseball against winning teams and I can guarantee you that if they make the playoffs they’ll only be playing teams with winning records This seems to always be the twins issue. They feast off weak competition. 2019 they won 101 games, had a record under .500 vs teams with a winning record. Got swept by the Yankees and everyone was somehow shocked. The point is if you can’t beat good teams, then buying at the trade deadline seems silly

Agree on Gomez, he’s under control till 2032, a couple months of success isn’t going to net much of anything. Another case of don’t trade someone with control if the value isn’t there for me.

I love what Clemens has brought to the team but he’s 30 and players typically start the decline at 32, he has control which other teams would like and Kreidler has absolutely shown he can take his super utility spot. Absolutely hilarious that this marks the 3rd really good super utility guy the twins have nabbed from Detroit in the last 5 years for nothing 🤣🤣🤣 Martin could even be the super utility guy down the road as well. As for Wallner I’m definitely super down on the guy as well but I’m of the opinion that you don’t trade guys when their value has never been lower. Give him the rest of the season and then make your decision in the offseason.

14-23 vs teams better than .500, good for 24th in baseball, 13th in the AL and worst among the division. Comes out to a 61-101 pace against winning baseball teams. Aggressively buying would be a giant mistake. Hope the Pohlad’s don’t force that because they finally realized they made a giant mistake 3 years ago by dropping payroll by 30m. Trade expiring contracts like Jeffers and Bell Trade Clemens and Larnach Jeffers hasn’t played in weeks and the Twins can replace the other 3 internally without losing much offensive ability. If they play decent baseball before the deadline, they can add 2-3 cheap expiring contract decent relievers and you’ll still come out ahead on the farm system while giving a chance at a wild card spot allowing everyone to be happy.
