“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

There’s 3 catchers on the 26 man roster. Jackson and Caratini are under contract next year. One of the three must be removed from the active roster, preferably for value in trade

mod note - lets keep it to Wallner

I could not disagree with the OP more. Wallner sports a career 122 wRC+, has 500 PAs of well above average hitting, 400 PAs of average-ish, and 60 PAs of bad hitting. Yes his fielding sucks, but they're paying 7mil to Bell who has a career wRC+ of 112. Trade off Bell and promote Wallner to DH. His power will outweigh the Ks if they give him enough leash.

It’s pretty clear that Falvey and Zoll narrowed their approach in the post 2023 era to more closely mimic Tampa (and Cleveland). The roster/role adjustments made under Zoll and Shelton this season have made that VERY clear. Correct, talent evaluation is a critical input to success, but if every team evaluates success the same way, trades would never happen. It’s all contextual to whether or not your team thinks it has the ability to develop the player in a different and better way than the organization they came from. not just player talent evaluation but coaching talent evaluation. if outsiders can’t compare two teams with growing similarities of competitive strategy, then we’ll never get to the full three dimensional perspective. We can’t know the Twins the way Zoll does, it’s just not possible. i think the Tampa comparison is apt, but still stick to my guns that the Twins shouldn’t carbon copy Tampa specifically because Pittsburgh has been awful for years because they couldn’t do Tampa better than Tampa. The Twins need to find their own way. They haven’t yet

At 23 years old and a serviceable mlb hitter, I think it’s good to give him reps in the outfield.

This team is soooo old

FTFY

Starting?

Yes hit the envelope button

I’ve never had the MLB app apologize to me for such a ****** game before. Working hard at winning fans over

Thank you!

Come for the Twins Talk, stay for the 80s sitcom puns. i tried to work in a Richard Moll pun but couldn’t figure out how to not have to moderate my own post
