    I expect Austin Martin would be the 2nd RH OF in the 2026 outfield. Fedko would be sent to AAA to wait for an injury callup.

    Contenders don't really need "bulk" relievers. Contenders have starting pitchers who can give you 5-6 innings consistently. Long relief is more of a need for bad teams than good ones.

    Fair enough on Abel. More of an issue with Bradley. Do they really think Jose Urena is a better option than Abel or Bradley?

    Based on the other news I've seen recently about Las Vegas, they probably will attract large crowds since ballpark prices on food and drink are still noticeably lower than casino prices.

    And a very nice, mostly empty stadium

    I am wondering what this announcement says about the next CBA. We're definitely not getting full revenue sharing with financial transparency. You might get a salary cap, but no floor. Less revenue to the players overall. 2027 season is unlikely, which may be why everything is getting sold off for prospects.

    I am actually baffled Koskie was elected instead of Santana.
  8. DJL44
    There is a lot of BS in this statement. If they said outright what they're doing the union would file a grievance.

    Miranda went 2 for 5 last night and Dashawn Keirsey hit a HR. My guess is the opposing pitching last night was pretty lousy.

    Carew stole 52 with Orlando in 1965. Knoblauch was never above 40 in the minors. Cesar Tovar stole 88 in 1961 and 56 in 1962 but he was a Reds prospect at the time.

    CJ Culpepper is more interesting than Cory Lewis
  12. DJL44
    That's good. Most teams will use 9 starters to get through a season. Canterino is a name, but not someone I ever expect to see pitching in the major leagues. He hasn't thrown a competitive inning in three seasons. The track record of pitchers rehabbing after shoulder surgery is poor. If Canterino pitches in AAA it will be a minor miracle.

    I would rather have Bradley starting in MLB than Urena but I wouldn't want to move him to the bullpen right now.
  14. DJL44
    They're working on becoming a starting pitcher. Adding and refining pitches, working on consistency of mechanics to repeat location, pitch sequencing and tunneling. Training for the bullpen is like learning to be a sprinter. Training for the rotation is like training for the mile.
  15. DJL44
    That's what Pierson Ohl and Travis Adams are doing. The other starters are working on things in AAA and getting a lot more innings there than they would in MLB.
  16. DJL44
    He's been hitting leadoff a lot. The Twins 8/9 batters have been very bad. Not sure how that is Buxton's fault.
  17. DJL44
    I think the Twins would be perfectly happy having Culpeper and Jenkins play in the Double-A playoffs to end September. If they don't make the playoffs, I think both should spend the last 2 weeks of September in AAA.
  18. DJL44
    0 for 3 last night and didn’t make a single play on defense. Time for a reset in AAA? Not serious, poking fun at other posts I’ve seen on this page.
  19. DJL44
    They weren’t winning and pitchers get hurt when they’re pitching tired.
  20. DJL44
    You left out Austin Martin and Trevor Larnach who are both still around. I expect they will trade Larnach but doubt they do the same with Martin. I would also bet they give the LF job to Walker Jenkins before they give it to Fedko. They will need 6 guys for 4 spots between OF and DH. They have options but I doubt they start the 2026 season with Gonzalez, Jenkins, Rodriguez, Fedko or McCusker on the 26-man roster. AAA could have a very interesting outfield with Gonzalez, Jenkins and Rodriguez. I think the OF they have tonight is your likely outfield in April.
  21. DJL44
    The hot streak immediately after leaving makes it look like he wasn't giving 100% to the Twins. I really doubt that is the case, but that's how it looks.
  22. DJL44
    He didn't appear to know how to hold the bat when he was sac bunting last week. That isn't different.
  23. DJL44
    Keirsey learned how to bunt in a week?!
  24. DJL44
    Keaschall has zero money earned and zero track record which gives him zero leverage. There is risk in extensions for unestablished players, but that's also why the potential reward is so high. He would have to collapse to the point where they need to release him to make 8 years, $60M a bad deal for the Twins. Ryan Jeffers, 1B, for 2028 would likely be as good or better than any option they currently have in the minors. Over the next 2 seasons, he's likely to be one of the top 20 catchers in MLB.
  25. DJL44
    You know how people talk about clutch not being a thing? Part of that is players who can't handle the pressure at MLB are weeded out pretty quickly. Gasper might be one of those players who can't block out the crowds and the bright lights. His spray chart is very pull-happy. I agree with this assessment.
