    Where is Emmanuel Rodriguez? He’s far more likely to debut than Fedko. I disagree that he’s crowded out by guys like Roden and Outman.
  2. DJL44
    A team that was really interested in obtaining a catcher could have signed JT Realmuto. He only received 3 years, $45M from the Phillies. Who is looking for a catcher? Boston, Pittsburgh, Texas and San Diego were rumored to have interest in Realmuto. Boston has Narvaez so they should be okay. Pittsburgh spent their $$ on Lowe and O'Hearn. Texas signed Danny Jansen. That leaves San Diego as the only likely suitor. What kind of return do you think the Twins would get with only San Diego looking for a catcher? There are stopgaps still available in free agency - Jonah Heim, Gary Sanchez, Reese McGuire. After Bellinger signs with the Yankees or Mets next week, there won't be any good LHB OF remaining. I am guessing a team would rather acquire Larnach than Tauchman, Winker or Conforto. Larnach is making $4.5M vs Caratini at $7M. If they shed Larnach's salary, payroll goes down to just over $100M.

    Clemens can play defense. The Twins have several DH candidates. Larnach is the best one to move, teams are looking for outfielders.
  4. DJL44
    I'd be happy if the move is trading Trevor Larnach to get rid of a DH.
  5. DJL44
    Victor Caratini could be an interesting platoon partner for Kody Clemens at first base.
  6. DJL44
    Billy Amick should be on the list. He's like the only 1B prospect in the entire system.
  7. DJL44
    MLB is incredibly profitable. The Rockies are one of the more profitable teams.
  8. DJL44
    The Twins do have a couple spots open and I fully expect them to grab a couple free agents who will be happy to have a spot on an MLB roster instead of getting an NRI. That's not really a plan to compete.
  9. DJL44
    True. How does he compare to past Twins lefties like Glen Perkins, Taylor Rogers and Eddie Guardado?
  10. DJL44
    The Wild were sold out on Saturday night.
  11. DJL44
    I will contradict my previous comments just to state that there is one benefit to signing a good relief pitcher - they're really tradeable at the deadline. If they give the money to Seranthony Dominguez they will have no trouble selling his contract in July.
  12. DJL44
    I don't blame them at all for not paying retail prices for relief pitchers. It is the worst value for the money of anything you can buy on the free agent market. There are bigger holes on the roster that would be a better value to fill by free agency.
  13. DJL44
    I think the Ranger Suarez contract (5 years, $130M) sets the floor for a Joe Ryan extension. The Twins will also need to buy out Ryan's arbitration in 2027. That would mean 6 years, $145M. Are people prepared to guarantee him that much money for his 30s? That would be the 2nd biggest contract in franchise history.
  14. DJL44
    They promised no half measures. This isn't a half-measure.
  15. DJL44
    I'm not saying this will turn into another Willi Castro move, but this is about exactly as well as Willi Castro performed before he came to the Twins. Castro was a couple years younger then than Brujan is now, but Brujan is young enough to have a career year performance. Good job getting younger, more athletic and better on defense. If someone better becomes available, they can send him on waivers again.
  16. DJL44
    If they give Joe his money, then they're out of money and the rest of the roster has to be rookies and waiver wire crap.
  17. DJL44
    There are a lot of people projecting their feelings onto Joe Ryan.
  18. DJL44
    Jordan Lawlar is extra blocked now.
  19. DJL44
    MLB absolutely should expand. The talent level of the worst players might be the highest in MLB history. Each expansion team brings in another $300M worth of topline revenue each season.
  20. DJL44
    This is not a particularly young team at the moment. It has the potential to go young, but Josh Bell will be gone if they turn the roster over.
  21. DJL44
    Wagaman was DFA'd when the Twins acquired him. The only thing useful about Wagaman is his 3 options. If he's the 18th position player on the roster, he's useful. Unfortunately, the Twins have 8 guys like that.
  22. DJL44
    Buxton has a chance to actually win something and show off his talent on a national stage in the WBC. With the Twins he'll be playing for 4th place with a couple thousand fans in the stands.
  23. DJL44
    That would include every move they've made this offseason.
  24. DJL44
    It means New York can have two divisional pennant winners instead of just one. If the two teams are rivals in the same division it forces the fan base to choose. There will be a winner and a loser. If the teams aren't in the same league, then people can be at least a casual fan of both.
  25. DJL44
    Which developing players - Outman, Julien or Gasper?
