  1. Still have 3 catchers clogging up roster spots, still have a plethora of average hitters who suck defensively clogging roster spots and even with the acquisitions, Cleveland did better and Chicago who is a much better team did about the same as Minnesota.
  2. Tom, Joe, Jim…maybe the Pohlad’s should be a little more creative with names. I’m bad enough with names lol
  3. 2 hours before?? Thought the deadline was 6pm EST
  4. It’s less about Hoffman for Hill and more about “buying” actually meaning acquiring 3 pitchers who were way better in the past. and losing out on a haul for Jeffers in the meantime while watching the 2 teams ahead of you in the standings getting better than the Twins got. But that’s exactly how I figured “buying” would go lol
  5. Assuming they are done, this is a very meh trade deadline for a team that said that they are buyers when they shouldn’t be. Jeffers and Larnach could’ve gotten back a really solid return but instead we get an older reliever who was very good three years ago, but has lost a lot on his fast ball, a starting pitcher who I still struggle to see having a fit on this team and a reliever with great strikeout numbers, but is about the least clutch closer in the league today. White Sox and Guardians both did better today and are still better teams. Just like I figured, this was a face saving exercise by Jim Pohlad. “We actually tried this time!”
  6. He’s 20 years old and has a k/9 of 15.4 lol. Outside of some bumpy control cause he’s you know…20, he’s striking people out at a rate you just don’t see.
  7. Zoll is not it lol Waited all day and this is the trade? A reliever who has sucked for 2 years and is still owed 15 million…and traded a borderline top 100 guy for him.
  8. Detmers gone or NOT LOL
  9. Please no on Neto Metrics hate him defensively. metrics think his bat is awful this year. This would be such a massive overpay it’s not funny.
  10. Gómez walking a batter every other inning likely played into that choice
  11. If they’re gonna keep Jeffers they should move Caratini. Shouldn’t be keeping 3 catchers and outside of June his bat has been poor and he’s just blocking ABs from other guys and AAA guys. This really depends on how many games they think Jeffers can catch the rest of the season. Jackson will come back down to earth, all the metrics point to a below average hitter but sending him through waivers would be a mistake. Jenkins is hitting, Culpepper will start again And even if the Twins don’t want to go that route- Mendez- .900 ops vs righties Sabato- 1.226 ops vs lefties Roden- should be playing more Wallner- 1.033 ops vs righties Going the rest of the way with Caratini and Bell playing 74% and 95% of games respectively is not it. Even if they hit league average they’re a near negative player. Bell- 0.4 bWAR, Caratini- -0.1 bWAR
  12. Cause we didn’t wanna lose out on the chance to get the incomparable Dean Kremer of course
  13. If true, I’m happy this was mixed. I’m all for removing Larnach, but even with his recent appearances being a lot better lately his stuff is not what it was last year.
  14. He might now be the top lefty, but he’s not the top lefty against lefties. Reverse splits this year
  15. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a walkoff grand slam, last out, last strike to win by 1
  16. Mauer is a top 10 catcher of all time, Salvy might not be top 25
  17. Is Salvy easily gets in it’ll be on reputation
  18. Agreed, the dude had bWAR over 4 just twice in his career. League average or worse hitter in 4 of his first 7 seasons, when his defense was peak. One WS win doesn’t too anything Posada won 4 and is a Yankee and never came close to HOF votes
  19. Lance Parrish 39.5 WAR / 106 OPS+ Jorge Posada 42.7 WAR / 121 OPS+ Brian McCann 31.6 WAR / 110 OPS+ Salvy Perez 35.2 WAR / 103 OPS+ HOF Vote Parrish 1.7% , Posada 3.8%, McCann 1.8%
  20. Just for that play, I think Salvy should sneak into the HOF
  21. Twins offense still leads AL in runs scored 8th overall lol Dodgers are gonna sweep what we AL team by the scores of 11-1, 8-3, 9-0, and finally 12-3 in extra innings
  22. Josh Rojas lined out on what MLB called an 83mph change up. To anyone watching, was it a change up or a fastball? 🤣
  23. How in the hell is Bailey Ober throwing 85 mph fastballs and 83 mph changeups. We need that picture of Pam from the office “they’re the same pitch”
  24. Yeah I don’t love Hancock. He benefits greatly from Safeco and nearly every metric points to him coming back to earth as a good number 4 starter at best. classic sell high situation for Seattle
  25. Bob Dylan was lined up to play in my city last night and I almost bought last minute tickets. I didn’t and the concert was canceled due to tornado warnings. Moral of the story- no clue
