    There's a person with very strong feelings about political and social events in their country I really appreciate this essay. Baseball is supposedly a reflection of life in America. That's been the cliche for everyone for years it used to be when baseball was the number one sport in the country people would tell immigrants to learn baseball if they want to know America. Baseball has lost his place as number one sport and it also has moved away from being a real reflection of the nation. I'm glad that you took this opportunity to express the views that you had in this essay and I would love to see more strong editorials that can risk possibly offending some and a challenging others. This has so much more substance than they projected can we trade for dreams. So thank you for doing this

    Not sure how this is meant but actually it is such a great essay that they could use it on one of those stations or any number of other good outlets where the truth and the ability to give perspective is welcome.

    If I had to give odds Hill is the one I would guarantee makes it. Not sure on the other two considering the prospects that are ahead of them
  4. mikelink45
    Are they really better than Noah Cardenas, Ricardo Olivar, Andrews Cossetti, or Patrick Winkel? I don't have their stats, but I do see Gaspar and Pereda's.

    Getting traded to a better team does not guarantee World Series glory. Is Correa going to be in the series? Did signing Juan Soto give the Mets the status as the team to beat? Duran and Varland may have the best chances for post season glory. This is the story of sports - only one champion, lots of good players throughout the league.

    Have you looked at the career of Mike Trout. Or Ernie Banks or even Ted Williams?

    So hard to see any positives in the BP - You are looking hard for positives. Sands is not the answer. Yes he can be in the BP in 2026 but not in the strategic roles. Cabrera offers nothing but a name. Royce and Lee don't look like players who are ready to catapult to any level of excellence and Wallner has disappointed me with his lack of clutch production. All of which means we stink, but then 65 - 84 already says that.

    No comment seems to be the most appropriate response.

    I cannot see this team paying Baldelli and another manager - he stays on - it is the Twins way. Pohlad and Falvey can have a nice team meeting to figure out how to make a meaningless cosmetic change, but for now, why not let Baldelli struggle with an incompetent and incomplete team and then bring in someone else when the prospects rise and it looks like we have a team again.

    Dream on about Rodriguez and Jenkins in the OF which means Larnach and Wallner can be used in DH and 1B roles. Solves a lot of issues.

    If we want a better team in 2026 all five are replaced with better players. SWR is the only one worth considering, but let's hope for better from him and Zebby. None of our young pitchers have looked so good that we could not replace them. Who knows what will be Festa's future? Who knows if Ober is cooked or just needs a reset? Who knows if Abel and Bradley can turn the corner. So at this point all arms need to be kept and the competition needs to be strong. Let's hope Lopez and Ryan can lead them. The others are the kind of players that are fillers on bad teams (I know - that's what we are) but hopefully we will seek better and be better. (I HOPE YOU ARE READING THIS MR FALVEY AND MR POHLAD).

    Too early. Maybe in another year but remove Roden and Outman from the discussion. When Jenkins are Rodriguez are ready and push him to left field I will be fine with it but at this point he is still our best bet in center
  13. mikelink45
    As I read these Outman seems to be short of a good defensive CF - does that mean we are carrying him for his bat?
  14. mikelink45
    Amazing how many see Buxton not taking a trade this year as bad. Thankfully there is some loyalty, but that does not mean that he cannot reassess what is happening. Putting pressure on the team is good - it indicates that he wants to be here with a winner. But if the team owners and FO does not care, he has every right to change his demands for next year.
  15. mikelink45
    Disappointing to see St Paul Lose 10 in a row. I know it keep filling the team with DFAs. But I was hoping one of our twin City teams would give us something more to cheer about.
  16. mikelink45
    It's becoming really difficult to think of worthwhile comments. It must be a chore to keep coming up with witty game stories.
  17. mikelink45
    The question I would pose is not national relevance. We have always been in the second tier there, but rather are they relevant to Minnesotans? Would you take them over the Wild, Vikings, Loons, Lynx, Timberwolves? Has the anger at the Pohlads completely poisoned the well of Minnesota baseball? Are the Saints more interesting than the Twins? I continue to come on this site daily, but it is my love of baseball not this team that draws me.
  18. mikelink45
    Reminds me of Oswaldo Arcia.
  19. mikelink45
    I am not counting on Festa. Hope he comes back strong.
  20. mikelink45
    Sorry but the only way these three make it is with another team.
  21. mikelink45
    Sorry but I was rooting for KC. They're actually playing for something and I'd love to see another central division team in the playoffs. And I don't care if the twins now guaranteed not to lose 100. They're losing the season and I don't care what the number is. How they keep stubbornly using outman and Gasper and it just shows that they really don't care either. But Falvey wants to look smart so we will keep using whoever he picked up.
  22. mikelink45
    I am beyond trying to figure out what is logical for this team. Outman and Gaspar on the team makes no sense. Half the BP makes no sense. Continuing to hope Julien will hit is a waste of time. Forget the crap about service time. A few games left - let some of the potential prospects get their feet wet in MLB. Yes shut down Ober - what are we waiting for. Let him start over in 2026.
  23. mikelink45
    To save More money I heard that the team was going to make the bat boy start buying a ticket to the game.
  24. mikelink45
    There was a question posed in this essay about whether we will win another game this season. It may have been in jest but do any of us really care if the team wins any more? Does it matter?
  25. mikelink45
    I will take the top 2 the rest are wait and see.
