    I can see an argument to keep him one more season and go for it in a shortened 2027 with Pablo Lopez returning. This team isn’t good enough, but it’s not that far off. Trade Jeffers, Larnach and Ober but keep Ryan and spend a little money to see if you can take this incredibly weak division in 2027.
  2. DJL44
    I don’t want his expensive decline years.
  3. DJL44
    I’m not sure if Mendez will have a better career than Roden. There is a big gap in their value on defense.
  4. DJL44
    Bradley, Abel, Rojas, Tait are all more valuable than Mendez.
  5. DJL44
    He is currently one of the top 5 catchers in baseball. I expect a bidding war for him at the deadline. Every contender could use him.
  6. DJL44
    I would trade Jeffers to the Pirates but I want more than a good reliever / 5th starter in return for an All-Star caliber catcher.
  7. DJL44
    Ober for Mlodzinski - is that enough? Jeffers would be a great addition to the Pirates if they want to swing a big deal.
  8. DJL44
    Gallagher could get Bailey Ober’s spot in the rotation. There aren’t many other options.
  9. DJL44
    Royce Lewis .324/.405/.818 in AAA in May. He makes Sabato (.257/.366/.371) look like a chump over the same stretch of games with the same opponents. Plus, Lewis is on the roster and is a MUCH better fielder. Head-to-head there is no comparison. If you want to promote anyone based on AAA results in May, it is clearly Royce Lewis.
  10. DJL44
    I would be surprised if we see any extensions with this many unknowns in the CBA.
  11. DJL44
    What I like about this is they decided to use the good arms they had in AAA to fill the gaps in the bullpen rather than just letting them waste their innings in St. Paul. They made the best roster with what they had. Is it a new bullpen strategy that leads to wins? Not as much as having 8 strong 1-inning relievers.
  12. DJL44
    I am actually rooting for a fade from .500 sooner so they take initiative to remake this roster. Standing pat because they're just below .500 and in wild-card contention would be the absolute worst outcome.
  13. DJL44
    Even if they keep Jeffers for the rest of this season, it doesn't matter for next year. He's a free agent. Spending in 2025 won't carry over to 2026.
  14. DJL44
    Any pitcher good enough to pitch well for 3 innings every 4 days is probably good enough to pitch 5 innings every 5 days in the rotation instead.
  15. DJL44
    I doubt it. They would have tried to squeeze another inning out of him and he still would have given up all those runs. He was getting crushed.
  16. DJL44
    Ober was terrible.
  17. DJL44
    How much longer can they afford to carry Marco Raya on the 40-man roster?
  18. DJL44
    If Detroit sells on Kenley Jansen…
  19. DJL44
    They didn’t even really try him as a one inning reliever.
  20. DJL44
    I am also shocked. SWR got two appearances as a reliever (and pitched 3 scoreless innings).
  21. DJL44
    If you measure using the 3 weeks after the Twins acquired Yoendrys Gomez, they have a top 5 bullpen.
  22. DJL44
    Twins are batting .234 in a league batting .240. Buxton, Lee, Larnach, Martin and Jeffers all have above average batting averages. Power is not the Twins problem, their SLG and HR totals are near league average.
  23. DJL44
    First base is also in the infield
  24. DJL44
    I am willing to bet Royce Lewis will be better than Josh Bell for the remainder of the season.
  25. DJL44
    The article I read stated it as CBT threshold, which includes benefits. Maybe the article was wrong.
