    Two months of a catcher. He will play about 30 regular season games for his new employer.
  2. DJL44
    That might be the only reason he is attainable
  3. DJL44
    I think one of these pitchers and a lesser piece is probably all you get. Warren and Doval would be a good trade for the Twins.
  4. DJL44
    Good article
  5. DJL44
    It doesn’t take much to beat Volpe and Doval. Neither one has much trade value at the moment. They are high floor throw-in players. The Twins have found players almost as good on waivers. The Twins would be doing the Yankees a favor taking on their salaries. The Twins should get a better prospect because they helped the Yankees dump salary in the trade. Volpe and Doval would be a fair trade for Josh Bell and Taylor Rogers, not for Ryan Jeffers.
  6. DJL44
    All the metrics say otherwise. He was bad last year but was playing with a torn labrum.
  7. DJL44
    The Twins current closer was a risky reliever who performed terribly for the Yankees. Doval throws gas. I would love to see if Maki can help him get his slider back.
  8. DJL44
    Ryan Kreidler is the 27th ranked SS in MLB and his offense is fading as he gets more playing time. SS is definitely a need.
  9. DJL44
    I would be fine with adding Volpe and Doval, but I also want a pitching prospect (Lagrange, Lalane, Beck, Hess) from the Yankees. The Twins can help the Yankees shed salary and grab two useful players, but that can’t be the headline part of the deal.

    Marek Houston named Texas League player of the week
  11. DJL44
    That’s about what Ed Julien returned from the Rockies. I looked up Jace Kaminska - he is out all of 2026 after missing all of 2025.
  12. DJL44
    Houston has Yordan Alvarez at DH. Why would they want Wallner?
  13. DJL44
    Elmer Rodriguez would be nice.
  14. DJL44
    I don’t think Wallner or Bell has any trade value at the deadline. Which contenders are looking for a 700 OPS DH? Bell would be a downgrade at DH for the Astros, Dodgers, Rays, Phillies, Mariners, Yankees, and Rangers. He would be almost as good as the current option for the Guardians, Brewers, Nationals, Orioles, Cardinals, Cubs and White Sox. That leaves the Braves, Pirates, Red Sox and Diamondbacks as teams who might find Josh Bell useful.
  15. DJL44
    I am as confident as I can be that the Twins won’t have 3 catchers on the 26-man roster on August 5th.
  16. DJL44
    Bell is anything but reliable. He regularly goes cold for a month at a time. Both players have huge variance in performance. This makes it nearly impossible to predict which would perform better over a two month sample from here until the end of the season.
  17. DJL44
    I would sell both if I got a stupid offer for each of them. I don’t think being slightly out of the playoff race should keep them from making a good baseball trade.
  18. DJL44
    I feel increasingly confident that the Twins will get an offer they can’t refuse for Jeffers. Demand is too high for catchers and supply is too low.
  19. DJL44
    Jenkins needs to stay in AAA and work on turning his raw power into home runs.
  20. DJL44
    I can’t predict if the Twins would be better off with Wallner or Bell as the DH for the rest of the season. Too much error bar.
  21. DJL44
    If they sell on Jeffers they need to redirect that cash to the pitching staff at a minimum. I think I would prefer a starter. They will get about 50 innings from a starter but only about 20 from a reliever. Gausman will pitch an inning or two deeper into a game than Rojas or Prielipp which will save 10 innings for the bullpen.
  22. DJL44
    That’s Kody Clemens with a better glove. Kreidler has a ton of plate appearances in AAA and his average at that level is .238.
  23. DJL44
    I think he’s probably a .200 hitter for true talent.
  24. DJL44
    This discussion got really dumb, really quick
  25. DJL44
    A true futility infielder
