  1. His value will go down, since the acquiring team won't get the 2025 half-season. However His value will go up, since there will be more suitors than just 2025 contenders.
  2. That's an exaggeration. Lopez, Ryan, Ober, SWR, Keaschall, Buxton, Jeffers, Lewis, Wallner and Larnach would all have a job somewhere in MLB next season.
  3. No, he’s just an average AAA player, not elite. He’s not good enough for MLB.
  4. They can’t contend with Brooks Lee as the starting SS. He will add half a run to the ERA of the pitching staff.
  5. I would rather see Prielipp throw 80 innings in the Twins bullpen than 120 in the Saints rotation. Festa and Prielipp could help the bullpen a lot.
  6. If they fire Rocco next year they will probably have Jayce Tingler finish the season
  7. If they option him once next season they gain back that control. I think they’re still trying to prove that the Outman trade was a good idea.
  8. If they have decided that Rodriguez is worse than Keirsey then they need to trade him this offseason while he is still rated as a top prospect. Keirsey is not an MLB level player.
  9. With Wallner out for the season this would be a great opportunity to have Rodriguez make his debut. Instead they bring up Keirsey again.
  10. Pereda has been much better. Vazquez shouldn’t get more than a minor league contract. He is likely to hit even worse next season. I am guessing he will retire.
  11. If Bader couldn’t move Buxton to LF, I don’t see how Jenkins will.
  12. When you have three .300 hitters in a row, there is a 2.7% chance of stringing three consecutive hits together. When you have three .240 hitters in a row, there is a 1.3% chance - less than half as likely. When you have three .200 hitters in a row that drops to 0.8% or 1/3 as likely.
  13. Fedko has only played 32 games at 1B - 19 of them this season. He's still playing more LF than 1B at St. Paul.
  14. Not sure where else to leave this. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-national-league-has-just-one-300-hitter-and-now-hes-injured/ The last 6 seasons have been in the lowest 16 all-time for player batting average. The other 10 seasons came before the DH rule except for 2018, which was a season that prompted adding the DH to the NL full-time.
  15. Keaschall is sure to improve as he rehabs his arm. Right now he can't throw at all which gives him no chance to make an off-balance play.
  16. The Twins have been devaluing defense at 2B for at least a quarter century. Luis Rivas, Todd Walker, Brendan Harris, Alexi Casilla, Michael Cuddyer, Brian Dozier was a decent fielder and he might be the only one developed by the Twins. Free agents Schoop, Orlando Hudson and Luis Castillo could play defense but it wasn't valued highly enough to keep them on the team long-term.
  17. He's pitched 22 innings. This is the problem with people constantly asking for the next minor leaguer to be promoted to "see if they can help". The Twins know a tiny bit more about whether Ohl can help than they did before they promoted him. They knew his pitch mix and how effective his pitches were likely to be and he's performing within the most likely range of expectations given how he pitched in the minors. Is there a benefit to the Twins in calling up the next guy who was worse than Ohl to see how that guy will do?
  18. It might make a difference to the 2027 team to acquire Hendry Mendez for Bader. Danny Coulombe returned a pitcher who could be useful. Bad teams should try to pick up MLB veterans for below-market cost in case they're tradeable in June. It's a lot better idea than giving innings to AAA veterans like Keirsey and Gasper.
