    Fedko got the first shot and struck out in half his at-bats. He will get another opportunity. Wallner is a DH. Defense matters.
  2. DJL44
    Roden was the highest performing outfielder in AAA. If the others want an opportunity they could try hitting better than Roden did in St Paul.

    “proving controversial enough to cause the RockHounds umpire to be ejected” I have never heard of an umpire getting ejected. Pretty sure that’s wrong.
  4. DJL44
    Quentin Young is following the Keoni Cavaco development path.
  5. DJL44
    I think I would slot Wachsmann just below Soto on the list. I think he has the 2nd highest ceiling of the 2026 draft picks. Prospect rankings are all about ceiling, you can grab high floor players off the waiver wire.
  6. DJL44
    Rojas is getting people out in the majors. I would have him ahead of Quick on this list. There is only one year difference in age and a huge difference in results. If Rojas gets his walk rate down he could contribute in the rotation.
  7. DJL44
    Check his statcast page. His strikeout rate is down, walk rate is up, hard hit and barrel rates are up, exit velocity is up. He has made clear improvements at the plate.
  8. DJL44
    They would probably get a backup catcher back in one of the trades (ex. Connor Wong). It would free up about $10M in cash to make Jeffers a big offer as a free agent.
  9. DJL44
    His Baseball Savant page is bright red. He is controlling the strike zone and hitting the ball hard (exit velocity up 3 MPH from last season).
  10. DJL44
    Since there are more teams who need catchers than there are catchers available, would you deal Jeffers to the Yankees and Caratini to the Red Sox or Rays?
  11. DJL44
    If the Twins would offer $23M and Jeffers would take it, then they should definitely trade Jeffers now and sign him as a free agent for 1 year, $23M in the offseason.
  12. DJL44
    I think he’s toast but I know people here are fans
  13. DJL44
    Interesting Yankees assets beyond their top 10 prospects Luis Gil, Camilo Doval, Angel Chivilli, Brent Headrick Same for Tampa Ian Seymour Red Sox Slaten, Guerrero, Weissert, Casas
  14. DJL44
    The winner of the bidding war for Jeffers could keep him away from division rivals. Stephenson of the Reds is the only other catcher on the market.
  15. DJL44
    1/$23M is probably worth more than 5/$75M. He would only need another contract at 4/$45 to break even, considering how front loaded it is.
  16. DJL44
    That is equivalent to the #45 slot value. Should be in the top 20 of bonuses for pitchers in this draft.
  17. DJL44
    The qualifying offer is irrelevant. The Twins will be the highest bidder if they offer Jeffers $23M. That’s an overpay by about $8M.
  18. DJL44
    He could easily be Anthony Volpe with more OBP and less SLG.
  19. DJL44
    Sell high (at the trade deadline) Buy low (in the offseason)
  20. DJL44
    I imagine Coulombe will attempt to find a team where he can get a playoff share. He might even take a minor league deal with a contender hoping for an injury that gets him on the postseason roster.
  21. DJL44
    So if Zoll is smarter, relief pitchers will magically appear? They only have so much talent on the 26-man roster. Making trades to acquire relief pitching in July is historically a HUGE overpay. I don’t see any reason to make that investment for this below-500 team. They are not one or two relievers away from a pennant.
  22. DJL44
    Thank you for the detailed explanation of why this article is just wrong. I get tired of seeing this website ready to promote every prospect after they have a hot week.
  23. DJL44
    If the Twins are willing to offer Ryan Jeffers $23M for next season and make him the highest paid catcher in MLB, I am pretty confident he will return. Trade him for prospects and give him a huge free agent contract if that is what you want. If they have had discussions and are sure he would accept, they should absolutely trade him for prospects. Then they get to have their cake and eat it too.
  24. DJL44
    Most likely he has a bad drop step
  25. DJL44
    So your advice is to get a Time Machine.
