Twins Minor League Report (9/20): That's All, Folks
DJL44 replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Rosario and Culpepper are the only possible adds for Rule 5 (unless Mercedes crushes the AFL) and they might add neither. Jeffers, Bell, Minter, Rogers are gone. Lopez, Abel, Festa, Banda, Sands and Paredes have to come back on the roster. That gets them to 42. Gray and Wallner are the cuts to get back to 40. Orze, Larnach, Sabato, Festa, Anderson, Acton, Raya on the bubble. -
No. Casual fans don’t know who any of those guys are. Nobody is buying Twins tickets right now. They have zero attention.
-
Larnach is on the injured list. Lewis was listed as day-to-day with a shoulder injury.
-
Especially when anyone on the IL can go on the 60-day.
-
And apparently did it while giving every day playing time to an injured Larnach and Lewis.

Should the Twins Bring Back Josh Bell for 2027?
DJL44 replied to Ray Stuedemann's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If he agrees to turn his buyout into a 1 year $1.25M contract, I’m in. Otherwise, no thanks. -

If Larnach and Lewis are both injured and have been playing through injuries for a month with awful results, that says something really bad about Shelton for keeping them in the lineup every day.
-
Professional, but clearly below average and not playoff caliber. Minter is also quite unlikely to return.
-
Bell exceeded expectations and put up his best season since 2022. It is unlikely he performs any better next year. He’s a below average DH at this point in his career and not worth more than $3M on a free agent contract.
-
Or any other team. I don’t know why people assume other teams would want players the Twins don’t want. The Rockies traded for Julien and got -1 WAR.
-
Maybe we will see Roden at 1B with Sabato getting a spot start vs LHP.
-
Trade for what? The waivers fee?
-
I wouldn’t cut anyone over $200k. If you want him on the roster it’s silly to let that small of an amount of money to make a difference.
-
What leverage does Lewis have to demand a trade? I can’t imagine any other club would give him as much playing time as he has received this season with the Twins. Does he want to see the league bouncing around the waiver wire?
-
Anyone going on the IL can pretty much go on the 60-day at this point. Did he do enough at AAA to earn a 40-man spot this winter? They carried Wagaman last winter, so maybe. Sabato has all 3 options remaining. If they don’t want to carry him all winter and intend to make him a free agent this is still a nice gesture, though I don’t care if he gets any playing time in that scenario.
-
Keep them both on the 40-man and figure it out next spring.
-
Is Lewis going on the IL? The only other moves that make sense would be to cut Jeffers or Bell.
-
He definitely could be worse than Lewis the last 6 weeks.
-
DeBarge could be the 13th player for the Twins, rarely playing except to pinch run and play defense.

Should Yoendrys Gómez Remain the Twins’ Closer in 2027?
DJL44 replied to Sam Caulder's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
A lot easier said than done. Teams aren’t giving away ace pitchers and top closers. Are you trading away Culpepper, Jenkins or Lackey? If not, are you giving Skubal $400M?
