    The Twins have a .486 win percentage, the Athletics is .427. There is not a huge difference in the amount of talent on these teams. I don’t understand the perspective that the Twins are entitled to winning these games. Launch angle tells the story of this game. The As were able to elevate a couple balls when needed and the Twins kept hitting the ball hard into the ground.
  2. DJL44
    Examples: Robbie Ray, Jack Flaherty, Luis Severino, Luis Castillo, Jorge Soler, Kenley Jansen, Antonio Senzatela, Tyler Mahle, Kyle Finnegan.

    Zach Neto, Kevin Gausman, Luke Weaver

    If Tom Pohlad wants to spend cash on the 2026 team, that is his prerogative. There are salary dump players available. The organization cannot afford to spend talent on 2026. Teams with a budget like the Twins can’t afford to give away cheap talent.

    Royce provides the most value to a team when he plays 3B. If a different team wants him for 3B, they will likely offer something better than keeping him on the roster and playing him at 1B.
  6. DJL44
    They don’t have to trade Royce to clear his future salary. He doesn’t have a guaranteed contract. They can non-tender and he will be released.
  7. DJL44
    Every team seems to be patching together bullpen games full of lousy relievers.
  8. DJL44
    Standing pat is great if the goal is to finish with 78 wins this year and next year. The roster has too many DH types, not enough pitching and still no starting Shortstop. Kaelen Culpepper could fill SS, but he is currently injured and we should assume unavailable for 2026. I don’t see a way to buy a rental SS so I would sell at this deadline to build for 2027.

    We might also be at the beginning of a Josh Bell cold streak.

    Ryan Kreidler’s offense keeps plummeting. 420 OPS over his last 63 plate appearances. 2 hits, no walks and seven strikeouts over his last 21. A bounce back to his career OPS of 515 would be an encouraging improvement.
  11. DJL44
    Isn’t that Brooks Lee’s current job?
  12. DJL44
    Rosario has seen his OPS go up 90 points since his promotion to AAA. Hitting is too easy at that level.
  13. DJL44
    The Twins should not be trading for another outfielder. The low hanging fruit for improving the roster is run prevention, not run scoring.
  14. DJL44
    Fedko got the first shot and struck out in half his at-bats. He will get another opportunity. Wallner is a DH. Defense matters.
  15. DJL44
    Roden was the highest performing outfielder in AAA. If the others want an opportunity they could try hitting better than Roden did in St Paul.
  16. DJL44
    “proving controversial enough to cause the RockHounds umpire to be ejected” I have never heard of an umpire getting ejected. Pretty sure that’s wrong.
  17. DJL44
    Quentin Young is following the Keoni Cavaco development path.
  18. DJL44
    I think I would slot Wachsmann just below Soto on the list. I think he has the 2nd highest ceiling of the 2026 draft picks. Prospect rankings are all about ceiling, you can grab high floor players off the waiver wire.
  19. DJL44
    Rojas is getting people out in the majors. I would have him ahead of Quick on this list. There is only one year difference in age and a huge difference in results. If Rojas gets his walk rate down he could contribute in the rotation.
  20. DJL44
    Check his statcast page. His strikeout rate is down, walk rate is up, hard hit and barrel rates are up, exit velocity is up. He has made clear improvements at the plate.
  21. DJL44
    They would probably get a backup catcher back in one of the trades (ex. Connor Wong). It would free up about $10M in cash to make Jeffers a big offer as a free agent.
  22. DJL44
    His Baseball Savant page is bright red. He is controlling the strike zone and hitting the ball hard (exit velocity up 3 MPH from last season).
  23. DJL44
    Since there are more teams who need catchers than there are catchers available, would you deal Jeffers to the Yankees and Caratini to the Red Sox or Rays?
  24. DJL44
    If the Twins would offer $23M and Jeffers would take it, then they should definitely trade Jeffers now and sign him as a free agent for 1 year, $23M in the offseason.
  25. DJL44
    I think he’s toast but I know people here are fans
