  1. Lowe, Goldschmidt and Hoskins are all still available. The Twins are going to regret paying a premium to lock Bell up early.
  2. The public is not paying attention to Tom Pohlad when they buy tickets. There are plenty of other, better sources of information.
  3. Back in the 1980s Roger Craig made a living teaching every pitcher the splitter. Then a few arms got shredded and it became an off-limits pitch. The Japanese pitchers get some credit for bringing the splitter back into the league.
  4. 6) Find a utility infielder who can play SS off waivers 7) Find a RHRP off waivers. That's all I expect. The Twins only make acquisitions off the waiver wire. They're currently paralyzed when it comes to trading.
  5. How does that work, actually. If I buy a ticket, I can give it away to someone if I'm not using it. Can I buy a Twins Pass and give away the entries to the games I can't attend?
  6. Every GM should always trade a "pretty good AAA guy" for an actual major leaguer.
  7. Twins games are no longer something I prioritize and schedule other things around, so these offers are of little value to me. I'm much more likely to check prices on StubHub if I happen to have an open weekend.
  8. I appreciate them spelling out all the stipulations so I don't have to click through on the website and find out it's a waste of my time.
  9. Simple - he's not "one of us" and he was the return for "one of us". People are going to hate him just because he was part of the Varland trade.
  10. Jeremy Zoll got the job because he already works for the Twins. They didn't look around and see if anyone better was available. They fired Falvey and promoted the guy Falvey elevated to the GM job. They should absolutely do a search for a new POBO and should probably look for someone with a proven track record rather than hiring an up-and-comer. It is unlikely Tom Pohlad knows how to identify baseball front office talent. Can they afford Brandon Gomes of the Dodgers or would he make less money as the Twins POBO? If not, they might be able to poach Kingston or Slater.
  11. From what I saw, Zebby was great at hitting the corners in 2024 but lacked velocity which meant everything got fouled off. He added velocity in 2025 but started missing the corners, leaving the ball over the plate while also increasing his walks. If he can combine the added velocity with the excellent location he showed earlier he can make it even without adding spin.
  12. 9 deep in the rotation, zero deep at SS and negative two deep in the bullpen.
  13. To really contend they will need the next wave of talent to arrive early.
  14. Bradley is younger than many of the "prospect" pitchers including Connor Prielipp, David Festa and Zebby Matthews. He is basically the same age as Mick Abel. Bradley has had more success (1.7 WAR season in 2024) than most of those pitchers. He's the pitcher who is too young to give up on.
  15. It is truly unfair that the Dodgers are giving players $1.2M contracts to stack their AAA team.
  16. Every team plays the waiver wire game
  17. ESPN put out their Twins top 10 list today Player Overall Previous (org) Trending 1. Walker Jenkins, CF 9 1 2. Eduardo Tait, C 38 2 3. Connor Prielipp, LHP 54 7 4. Kaelen Culpepper, SS 79 9 5. Charlee Soto, RHP 94 5 6. Emmanuel Rodriguez, CF 97 4 7. Gabriel Gonzalez, RF 130 10 8. Dasan Hill, LHP 161 NR 9. Kendry Rojas, LHP 163 8 10. Marek Houston, SS 166 NR
  18. As I said before, the radar gun will tell us what we need to know
  19. Getting old is tough in MLB. The radar gun will tell you all you need to know about whether Ober can bounce back in the rotation this year.
  20. Roden hit about 150 points of OPS higher than Keirsey in AAA (200 points of OPS higher in MLB) and is three years younger.
  21. Nolan McLean has been really good in the minors and Marco Raya has been lousy for three consecutive seasons. They have nothing in common. Prospect status doesn't come just from age. How many lousy seasons in a row does Marco Raya need to have before it's okay to move him to the bullpen? Four or five? Should they wait until 2028 when he's out of options and they're forced to put him on the 26-man roster to try him as a reliever?
