  1. I avoid both terms command and control because they are so widely abused to make them useless.
  2. I agree, but they’re stuck with Bell this season. They backloaded his contract which makes him almost untradeable.
  3. I am hopeful that Outman is playing himself onto the Phillies roster. The Phillies 4th outfielder was suspended half the season and they could use someone short term. Send him to Philly for any A ball player with a grade 40+ rating.
  4. The problem is that they don’t have a RH reliever who gets people out any better than these lefties.
  5. Can anyone name a contending team that punted the SS position? The Yankees punted defense at SS, but Jeter was a beast on offense.
  6. I would actually prefer he doesn't throw 100. 97 is plenty fast to get people out.
  7. Varland had a 4.53 ERA for the Blue Jays (including postseason). He's arbitration eligible in 2027. He's okay, but he's just a relief pitcher.
  8. I agree with your rotation. Even as the 6th starter, I'd bet Zebby Matthews gets 20 starts in the majors - assuming he stays healthy. With both Ryan and Ober looking like trade bait, the only pitcher I would convert to the bullpen is Festa.
  9. Not sure if this is embarrassing or an honor.
  10. It is hard to think of good comps for this guy Naylor might be a best-case scenario for Gonzalez except he bats lefthanded. Austin Hays?
  11. The delay is annoying. I think some batters might be using it as an additional timeout. They could speed it up a little.
  12. Wagaman will make the team and start at 3B if Lewis is injured.
  13. If he continues to hit .150 in Cedar Rapids they’ll need to do something.
  14. Everyone should be thrilled if a batter has an OBP above .350. That's better than Byron Buxton did last season. Marek Houston could be another Taylor Walls. That's still a valuable player.
  15. If he had an elite glove, then maybe we could talk about MVP. He doesn't have an elite glove. Only 7 second basemen have won an MVP in the last 70 years. Jose Altuve 2017 Dustin Pedroia 2008 Jeff Kent 2000 Ryne Sandberg 1984 Joe Morgan 1975, 1976 Nellie Fox 1959 Keaschall looks more like a decent regular who could make an All-Star team at least once.
  16. As with any extension, the question is what dollar amount. The Twins already have his next competitive season - 2027 - under contract. They also have the right to extend a qualifying offer in 2028 (assuming no changes to the CBA). Would Lopez turn down $25M for 2028? A move to extend Lopez for 2028-29 would have to be cheap enough to guard against the downside that he is not effective at age 32 after two elbow surgeries. I'd say a 2 year $16M extension ($8M per season) is the right amount for me. I really doubt Lopez would have any interest in that. If he comes back healthy, he's looking at a $25M qualifying offer or a 3-year contract somewhere else.
  17. It's as fun to watch as the All-Star game when they get past pool play.
  18. Christian Vazquez is sitting at home if there is an emergency.
  19. The WBC should be a great showcase for Ryan and Buxton. I hope they are able to participate in some meaningful games for Team USA. The Twins won't have many meaningful games this season but Ryan and Buxton could each be playing for the postseason on new clubs.
  20. If the Twins really want Jackson in 2027 they should be able to sign him after he's non-tendered.
