    The Twins gave Ober 27 starts and 146 innings last year. His fastball is down and so is his effectiveness. He's not cutting it in the rotation. At some point you move ineffective pitchers out of the rotation and into the bullpen.
  2. DJL44
    Larnach for McCullers and Houston pays the $10M for Correa this season. I also like Jose Fleury.
  3. DJL44
    Riley O'Brien for the Cardinals.
  4. DJL44
    That's exactly Festa. 25 games with an ERA over 5. Turns 26 in 2026. Can't stay healthy enough to pitch a full season in the rotation. Matthews has 25 starts with an ERA of 5.92. Also turns 26 in 2026. He's on a short leash. Bailey Ober was bad last season in the rotation and is turning 30. If his fastball doesn't come back, they should expect the same performance as last season. Raya's not going to get a chance to fail as a starter in the big leagues because he can't hack it in the AAA rotation. He hasn't pitched well enough to earn a promotion since A-ball. How much longer do these guys need to fail before the Twins are allowed to move them to the bullpen? How many more seasons?

    They will contribute 0 WAR pitching in St. Paul. If they don't have the talent to become a decent reliever, then they'll never be able to hack it as more than a journeyman 5th starter. Those pitchers are a freely available on waivers. How many years do you want Marco Raya to suck as a starter before they try him as a reliever? Personally, I think three lousy seasons is enough.
  6. DJL44
    Clemens might be the best defender in the entire infield. If not Clemens, it's Royce. Buxton is their best hitter. Get him up to bat as much as possible. I wouldn't bat him lower than #2.
  7. DJL44
    They can't keep three catchers on a roster with no shortstop.
  8. DJL44
    Martin doesn't need to spend more time in AAA. He has a .288/.419/.397 line there in 519 PA. Same for Roden - his slash is .320/.411/.505 in 428 PA at AAA. I think either is a good fit for the #9 hitter ahead of Buxton.
  9. DJL44
    I am fine with Matthews and Abel filling the 6th and 7th starter roles. If you get to the 8th pitcher, then you can start looking at minor leaguers with opt-outs and the waiver wire.
  10. DJL44
    If Wallner can become a slightly below average RF that's huge.
  11. DJL44
    They have more value to the team in the bullpen than they have pitching in St. Paul. Top-end relievers get paid as much as #3 starters.
  12. DJL44
    Move one back in July, then. Pitchers can move back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen. Most of these guys have nothing left to learn in AAA.
  13. DJL44
    Adams and Klein get bullpen scholarships. Yuck.
  14. DJL44
    He would be a great addition to the Brewers.
  15. DJL44
    Tigers are partnering with MLB Detroit Tigers moving from FanDuel to MLB Media for 2026 season That makes 14 teams. I would not be surprised to see the Angels take the A's NBC Sports California deal when it ends.
  16. DJL44
    The Atlanta Braves are starting their own sports channel. Braves' TV broadcast rights drama just took a wild turn that could change everything
  17. DJL44
    The Blue Jays are owned by the TV network, so they're pretty solid. It's basically the MLB package for all of Canada.
  18. DJL44
    Potential trade options Riley O'Brien - Cardinals Jimmy Herget - Rockies Edwin Uceta - Rays
  19. DJL44
    MLB confirms that it will be handling broadcasts for the Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals and Reds. If you want to change your favorite team to the Brewers for 2026, that's a new option. Also, Twins-Brewers games won't be blacked out on Twins TV. MLB now controls broadcast rights for 13 teams: Brewers, Marlins, Rays, Royals, Cardinals, Reds, Mariners, Nationals, Padres, Diamondbacks, Rockies, Twins and Guardians. The Braves, Tigers and Angels have not formalized plans. Teams with their own local broadcast deals: Dodgers ($200M), Yankees ($145M), Blue Jays, Phillies ($125M), Red Sox ($100M), Cubs ($100M), Giants ($90M), Mets ($90M), Rangers ($75M), Astros ($73M), Athletics ($70M), White Sox ($60M), Orioles ($60M), and Pirates. The Athletics lose their TV deal when they move to Las Vegas.

    TC Bear is probably updating his resume as we speak
  21. DJL44
    I think there are actually plenty of options, but they have to convert some starting pitchers. Ober, Festa, Prielipp, Raya, Abel and Morris are all possibilities.
  22. DJL44
    One year, $15M with a mutual option. I wish the Twins had made that deal. Suarez is a 30+ HR slugger who would have looked great at 1B.
  23. DJL44
    JoJo Romero is the most likely reliever to get traded before the season begins. They're going to need guys with huge strikeout rates to be successful. They will have one of the worst defenses in baseball.
  24. DJL44
    "I think it's a topic" means they don't have anyone.
  25. DJL44
    I think the disagreement was more on the business side than it was on the baseball side. If Mr. Pohlad was upset about how the baseball side was run he would also fire Zoll. Instead, Zoll got a promotion.
