    I think Houston is with the Wind Surge now

    The Twins are on a knife edge tipping point right now and what they do might come down to what they are offered. If New York decides they absolutely need to make the World Series and offer Lombard, Rodriguez, Lagrange and Hess for Joe Ryan and Ryan Jeffers then the Twins will sell. The Dodgers and Brewers have enough talent to make stupid offers as well.

    As someone else mentioned, those expiring contracts will only have 33% remaining at the deadline. Adding three $10M relievers only costs $10M in added payroll.
  4. DJL44
    Senzatela $12M with $14M club option for 2027 Estevez $11.1M per year until 2027 (yuck) Jansen $11M expiring Weaver $11M until 2027 (okay) Minter $11M expiring Pagan $10M until 2027 (yuck) Finnegan $9.5M until 2027 Strahm $7.5M expiring Johnson $6.5M ($8M mutual option) Yates $5M expiring Ferguson $4.5M expiring Vest $4M expiring Schreiber $3.7M expiring

    Fedko has also struggled with every level promotion. I think the Twins are doing him a favor by letting him fail in limited exposure so he knows what he needs to work on to improve.

    It is clear they need to add to the bullpen to get through August and September and compete in the postseason. Spending cash on expensive relievers is better than spending prospects. So we have to find sellers with relievers who are barely worth their contract. Sellers: Angels, Royals, Tigers, Rockies, Mets, Giants, Reds Expensive veteran relievers on those rosters: Kenley Jansen, Antonio Senzatela, Carlos Estevez, Luke Weaver, AJ Minter, Emilio Pagan, Kyle Finnegan, Matt Strahm, Pierce Johnson, Caleb Ferguson, Will Vest, John Schreiber, Brock Burke, Jason Foley, Brooks Raley, JT Brubaker

    “The 21-year-old appeared in five games for St. Paul this week, going 6-for-19 (.316) with a double, a triple, a home run, and two RBIs. His overall Triple-A numbers continue to impress; he's posted an .835 OPS and a 119 wRC+ through 33 games.” Those numbers are not impressive at all in AAA. I would expect an OPS around 1000 for a corner outfield prospect in AAA. There is a 200+ point drop in OPS between AAA and the majors.

    So who should get benched in favor of the player who is obviously pressing and overwhelmed?
  9. DJL44
    I have watched his at bats. He looks like Lewis did before they demoted him to AAA. He’s chasing garbage and unable to do damage on pitches in the zone.
  10. DJL44
    I agree with this. I don’t think the American League has a really good team this season. Yankees have been carried by their starting pitching and Judge.
  11. DJL44
    Current ETA for Houston is a couple months before Royce becomes a free agent.
  12. DJL44
    They were 100% correct that McCusker isn’t good enough to play in MLB. Fedko has played worse than all the other players on the roster. That isn’t going to earn him more playing time.
  13. DJL44
    If you’re injured it is a terrible idea to play in an exhibition game.
  14. DJL44
    I’ve already watched Lewis make five plays at first base that Bell can’t make and it’s only been a couple weeks.
  15. DJL44
    Defense matters
  16. DJL44
    Keaschall is an outfielder now, which means one fewer spot. They put Fedko on the 40-man roster as well.
  17. DJL44
    Did you know if a catcher throws to second base on a steal and nobody covers the base, that is scored as a throwing error on the catcher?
  18. DJL44
    They are. Arraez, Turang, Wetherholt, Edwards, Marte, Lowe, Albies
  19. DJL44
    His infielder Morissette whiffed on the throw.
  20. DJL44
    He would rank roughly 8th among 2B. They just named the All Star Game roster. I only counted four second basemen.
  21. DJL44
    Watching the Saints game. Jeffers has hit a home run and threw a runner out at 2B. He looks ready to join the team on Tuesday. I hope he comes up for Fedko. Alex Jackson can be the 13th guy. He’s fast enough to pinch run and he’s already ahead of Fedko on the pinch hitting depth chart. He’s even played 160 games in the outfield in the minors.
  22. DJL44
    He’s ranked 98th in Fangraphs WAR.
  23. DJL44
    Another dud outing from Rojas. He has not looked the same since returning from the IL.
  24. DJL44
    Eventually Culpepper will turn 30…
  25. DJL44
    It doesn’t matter. Both are losing strategies.
