  1. since the trade deadline 219 PAs, the .074 iso might actually help him because no one will be afraid of throwing him a meatball.
  2. That was the beginning of the end of fundamentally sound Twins Baseball… each year getting worse and worse at just playing catch… not that it’s unique to MN, just depressing
  3. Holy ****! The Twins played a game on Monday night!
  4. The Bugs Bunny Special is on a two year deal.
  5. honestly, if the feels like temperature was 10 degrees I’d believe it, it’s nasty out there
  6. You had me until this. just like Outman, shaking the infielder tree yields an all glove no bat SS all the time. They can do better via trade or DFA claim. I’m ok with Lee as having more upside as a placeholder. Fielding at SS is crucial, but just how important is it when this team cannot score at all.
  7. 4 players for three positions would be 3/4 time. That’s more than Martin is playing today with Outman rotting on the bench. That would also have one fewer AAA outfielder to get every day plaything time with Gonzalez, Rodriguez, Fedko, and Jenkins also needing every day playing time. Because the Outman on the DFA shuttle can rot on the AAA bench too,
  8. That’s the point. There’s a million and one Outmans that can get DFA’d and signed to minor league deals. That role doesn’t have to be on the active roster of a terrible team. Martin and/or Roden can give Buck a day off every 10 days. An Outman can get his contract selected at a moment’s notice and shuttle across town on the green line. Bell at 1, Roden R, Buck CF, Martin L, Larnach/Wallner at DH and 4th OF Clemens and his .560 OPS gets pushed to the bench with an actual 4 man outfield and the whole team gets better. Then, when the service time shenanigans are done, Roden can still be optioned, and there will still be an Outman in the DFA fodder
  9. There’s 3 DH’s on this team, no SS, no 1B, and 2/3 of your primary outfield wear concrete shoes, but having Outman ride the pine is ok because he doesn’t block development of Emmanuel Rodriguez who is 23 years old and is now out of options?
  10. 100% agreed, for as bad as this team has been, what the hell is James Outman doing on this roster? Lee and Gray are in a 50/50 split I get that. Martin and Larnach are in a 60/40 split, but for a team that desperately needs hitting. Bell, Larnach and Wallner are 3 of the 4 best hitters and all need to be DH.
  11. Tom was very public in the offseason, where Joe and Jim were not. We don’t really know what happens behind closed doors, but we saw the outcomes in Falvey and Zoll’s actions since the ill-timed 2023 payroll correction. Zollvine became even more passive than 2019-2022, until the 2025 trade deadline where they panic sold, then became passive again. That to me, reads like the third generation of Pohlads do not have a vision for the Twins and their investment is floundering as a result. Tom said it out loud is all.
