  1. Severino and Kiersey too. Yake back to AA, De Goti and Contreras released
  2. He's not injured, he's just ineffective. You can't go on the injured list for being bad at baseball.
  3. Which is the same as not doing it. That's a not-accomplishment.
  4. It is very unlikely Mauer gets elected on the first ballot. Catchers very rarely get elected on the first ballot. Piazza and Berra didn't get elected on the first ballot. I think the whole list of first ballot catchers is Johnny Bench and Pudge Rodriguez.
  5. I wouldn't call Kiersey a bust. It was always a long shot he would contribute as a major leaguer. It's still kind of a long shot. He's 26, this might be his career year and he's still only an .850 OPS in Double-A. That won't play as more than a 4th outfielder. He could be a fun addition when rosters expand as a pinch-runner, he can steal a base.
  6. This is an ultimatum to Rocco Baldelli. Win or you're fired.
  7. Looks like they're counting on Royce Lewis to carry them across the finish line.
  8. Those are the odds for every MLB team, including the Braves. What odds would you give me to bet on the Twins? 200-1? If the Twins just sneak into the playoffs they will not be the favorite but sometimes the underdog wins, especially in baseball. I'm fine with rooting for an underdog this October. Beats the hell out of watching football.
  9. You could say the same about needing a RH batting outfielder which is why it was so weird they signed Gallo.
  10. I think there's a chance Gray accepts the QO. He was talking about retirement but 1 year $20M may be tempting.
  11. That full list includes Severino, Camargo, Chris Williams, Bechtold, Prato, Martin, Laweryson, Funderburk, Kiersey, Salas, Hidalgo and Regi Grace. That's the group they're selling hard.
  12. I like the rentals with big salaries: Canha, Raley, Stratton, Hernandez, Grichuk, Suter, Cron, Hand, Shreve, Fulmer
  13. He will have ups and downs. We're seeing one of the "ups".
  14. They make a lot of movies about the underdog who gives up halfway through the season, don't they?
  15. Probably because many of the veterans (Sonny Gray, Kenta Maeda) are a lot better than the younger players (Varland, Woods-Richardson) who would take their place. I'm fine with clearing out dead wood (Gallo) but that's not "selling".
  16. If there's one thing sports fans really rally around it is a bunch of quitters. That's why Oakland is leading the league in attendance.
  17. Yeah, trying is probably a bad idea. Better to quit when you're ahead. Quitting is best way to build a fanbase.
  18. Give up very little and get two above average soon-to-be free agent relief pitchers. Hopefully ones with expensive salaries so they cost almost nothing in talent. Balance the OF by dumping a LH batter and adding one from the right side.
  19. Renfroe for Gallo plus a prospect would be a coup. Renfroe for Kepler would help both teams.
  20. If the Twins add a RH hitting OF bat he should take playing time away from Kepler anyway. If Wallner fails in a platoon RF role they can try Larnach or Kirilloff or Gordon or more Willi Castro.
  21. There are only 2 seasons between 2021 and now. I don't see where they burned an option in 2021, he has very few games in AAA that season.
