    Giving the rights and the networks back to the teams. WBD Sports closer to exit from nearly all of its RSN business (sportsbusinessjournal.com) "League sources contrasted WBD’s collaborative approach with their relationship with Diamond Sports Group as they have dealt with bankruptcy."

    Gladden said Nick Gordon is doing baseball activities but not 100% running yet. He is doubtful to return. It gets more difficult as we get closer to the end of the season because the minor league teams end their seasons early and there is nowhere to go to get rehab at-bats. The Saints are done on the 24th. Nick Gordon should get at least 10 days worth of plate appearances to get ready but if he's not running full speed I doubt he is ready for rehab by the 14th. Sounds like Castro and Buxton should be back soon, then Kirilloff.

    The Twins have the possibility of being the first team to have their playoff spot decided. The teams in the East and West could be battling for the division title until the last day of the season. That could give the Twins the advantage of setting everything up for the postseason.
  4. DJL44
    Bring back Castro for the Cleveland series, please.

    Listening to extra innings was like listening to two Lutherans argue about who should eat the last brownie in the pan. "Are you sure you don't want it?" "No, I'm not really hungry" "I need to run the dishwasher. Should I wrap it up for you?" "I don't want you to waste the Reynolds Wrap. Maybe you should have it." "No, I'm trying to cut back. The doctor says I could lose a little weight." About 30 minutes later somebody finally eats the brownie and goes home.

    Cossetti needs to move up to Double-A.
  7. DJL44
    You didn't get to see the alternate reality where Jax blew up in the 8th inning instead and Rocco never gets to use Duran in a close game.

    Vazquez gets criticized for his bat but his glove was terrific yesterday, as noted by AJ Pierzynski. He does a good job working with the starting pitchers and he erased a few baserunners too.
  9. DJL44
    And the magic number goes down one! Thanks, Cleveland!
  10. DJL44
    I think ultimately Luplow is keeping a spot warm for Buxton.
  11. DJL44
    The most frustrating part was Falvey acknowledging that they actually could use some help in the bullpen, then not following through and acquiring any. The only consolation with Floro is Lopez has been horrible for the Marlins. The Twins won that trade.
  12. DJL44
    About 30 more games.
  13. DJL44
    What a boring way to lose an entertaining game up until that point.
  14. DJL44
    I'm good with Martin coming up and sitting on the bench on September 25th when the Saints season is over.
  15. DJL44
    He will be replaced by Castro, Buxton or Kirilloff shortly. Two of those three are good, young players.
  16. DJL44
    Luplow is a bench player. Austin Martin is playing every day in AAA. Do you want Martin to spend the rest of the season on the bench?
  17. DJL44
    A six game lead with 33 games left helps. I'd rather see the Twins clinch early and then give everyone a rest. Win both series vs Cleveland and they can do whatever they want the rest of the season. I wouldn't mind if the rotation the last week of the season was Ryan, Maeda, Keuchel, Varland, and a bullpen game.
  18. DJL44
    To be fair, what the Twins have had in 2023 has been as good as I have ever seen for a Twins pitching rotation. Varland has the talent to pitch in the major leagues and if he isn't good enough for the rotation next year there is plenty of room in the bullpen.
  19. DJL44
    But his OPS is still pretty low. He's at the right level for his development.
  20. DJL44
    Gordon's also not ON the 40 man roster.
  21. DJL44
    Not at retail prices but Duran hasn't ever had a big payday. His signing bonus was $65,000. He goes through arbitration 2025, 2026, 2027. Hader is the best comp, though Hader was a Super 2. Still, he made $31M over the last 3 arb years. 5 years $45M with a $15M team option (and a possible QO after that) would be a fair deal for the Twins and they might be able to do better than that. Clase only got 5 years $20M. If they go year-to-year with arbitration Duran could make $35M over the next 4 years.
  22. DJL44
    Lewis and Duran are the only players on the roster worth having this discussion about. Right now I'd be fine with both through age 32 but not longer than that. Duran might be the higher priority this offseason.
  23. DJL44
    Keep pushing until the division is won and then give everyone the week off before the playoffs. Hopefully you can skip 2 Ober starts in late Sept.
  24. DJL44
    Heat index over 100.
  25. DJL44
    They don't have to add Charlee Soto to the roster until before the 2028 season. That's the earliest you should expect to see him in the rotation.
