They're pretty much guaranteed to keep trying out bad relief pitchers for the rest of the season. The next 6 weeks are open tryouts for bad players.
I'm actually surprised at how people are still upset when the Twins lose. Twins fans need to lower their expectations a LOT for the remainder of 2025. You're watching a bad baseball team. Don't let it affect your blood pressure.
Seems odd to pile on Matt Wallner in a game where he was the only offense. He even made a nice running catch in RF. Good game, Matt.
Several posters here seem to be obsessed with Matt and feel the need to point out every mistake he makes. It's kind of creepy.
AAA might start 2026 with Emmanuel Rodriguez, Walker Jenkins and Gabriel Gonzalez in the outfield. I expect MLB will have Buxton, Wallner, Roden, Martin and Outman. Not that difficult to gain a spot with that competition.
I guarantee many of the players on the Twins right now are thrilled that they aren't stuck in AAA anymore. I haven't seen any signs of dissatisfaction from Wallner, Buxton or Jeffers. Joe Ryan might be the one player who is irritated he's still on the team, but he seems like a pretty laid-back dude.

The top one is what Trevor Larnach did in AAA at age 26 (after struggling in the majors in his debut). The bottom is what Roden did in AAA at age 25. Roden is the better fielder (though Larnach was better than he is now when he was younger). The Twins aren't crazy to think Roden is a low-key upgrade on Trevor Larnach. Larnach has provided about 1 WAR per season, Roden could do the same for league minimum.
Really, why would they acquire another outfielder when they already have the worst hitter in the history of the franchise on the 40-man roster? So stupid.
They should be pushing prospects to levels that require them to improve, not keeping them at levels that aren’t challenging just to win minor league games.
It’s a good thing they let them both acclimate to the organization in AAA and debut against a bad team like the White Sox. It could have been ugly if they had gone directly into the rotation.
There isn't much more to learn about Julien. He's plateaued as a baseball player. Sabato is hitting worse than Jonah Bride and Dashawn Keirsey in AAA. I am ambivalent about Cardenas.
I do think Abel should come up. He doesn't have that much left to learn in AAA. I think Urena will be replaced with Lopez shortly.
Unbelievable. This group couldn't run a lemonade stand.
Is there some sort of collusion among owners to make sure prices stay high even when nobody is buying the tickets?
The Cardinals are raising season ticket prices 15% amidst a losing season with plummeting attendance. How much will the Twins raise season ticket prices?
