    Some really lackluster outfield defense from the Athletics. I think they gave the Twins at least 4 extra bases. Prielipp looked great. Sands looked terrible. Everyone else did okay.

    He was awful today

    The Yankees are desperate for an average MLB catcher.
  4. DJL44
    Until Marek Houston gets the last couple weeks of the season.

    Changing the subject slightly, is Sonny Gray pitching himself into the Hall of Fame? His stats don’t compare to past generations but they’re WAY better than most of his contemporaries. 36 WAR (8th among active pitchers), 2000 strikeouts, 137-104 record (5th in wins and 3rd among pitchers under age 40). CYA runner up and 3rd place finishes. He’s clearly better than any relief pitcher of his generation.

    I think every player is open to an extension if the number is high enough. The Twins should have had some discussions two years ago. If they didn’t, that is a huge mistake.

    If he wouldn’t turn down the QO then the Twins should ABSOLUTELY trade him. Get the prospects and offer him 1 year, $23M as a free agent to return for 2027. The qualifying offer only benefits the Twins if Jeffers turns it down.

    We are seeing parity like I can’t remember in baseball. The floor level of MLB talent is probably at an all-time peak. In an NFL analogy, we have the entire league between 4-6 and 6-4 with 6 games left to play. It is very hard to separate from the pack. The Twins are likely to win somewhere between 23 and 32 of their remaining 56 games. That makes them finish with 75 to 84 wins. Any trade deadline additions are only likely to sway that by 1-3 wins. That’s why it makes little sense to spend young talent to buy at the deadline. Selling Jeffers might cost them 1-2 wins in 2026 but could add them 5-10 wins over the next 5 seasons.

    Are you talking about the 2026 team? They look pretty evenly matched with the Athletics.
  10. DJL44
    Keep him in AA. The pitching might be better at that level than it is in AAA.
  11. DJL44
    All the pitching prospects are on the roster (Abel, Rojas, Prielipp, Matthews, Morris).
  12. DJL44
    I am on record here saying the Twins should give him a big contract extension in the 2024-25 offseason. They blew that opportunity. Now they have three catchers on the roster and one of them needs to go. I want the Twins to win more than they lose. I want them to do that as soon as next season. The best way to accomplish that is to trade players with expiring contracts for future help.
  13. DJL44
    Looks like Prielipp will replace Paredes on the roster.
  14. DJL44
    Louis Varland trade wins the game. Thanks for attending, Ryans. I feel bad that you didn’t get to see Joe Ryan or Ryan Jeffers.
  15. DJL44
    He can field better than Mendez.
  16. DJL44
    Arcia has a higher OPS in AAA than Hendry Mendez and Walker Jenkins.
  17. DJL44
    Add the White Sox to the list of teams looking for a catcher. Yankees, Rays, White Sox, Red Sox, Mariners, Phillies and Dodgers could all use Ryan Jeffers.
  18. DJL44
    I enjoyed seeing Buxton play the carom off the RF overhang perfectly while Keaschall jumped for a ball that wasn’t there. A lesson on the value of experience.
  19. DJL44
    Agree with this, plus there are likely new additions who need auditions. No need to add players to the roster at the moment.
  20. DJL44
    St Louis has a pile of catching in the high minors and some interesting pitching prospects.
  21. DJL44
    I think Sabato might need to get some work in on Duolingo. His best chance for money is overseas.
  22. DJL44
    Wallner might have as much trade value as James Outman did last season.
  23. DJL44
    Definitely after the deadline. Who knows what the 40 man roster will look like on August 5.
  24. DJL44
    I wish he was hitting as well as his career numbers. He has been useless.
  25. DJL44
    It would be quite difficult for him to hit worse than Kreidler.
