    First base is also in the infield
  2. DJL44
    I am willing to bet Royce Lewis will be better than Josh Bell for the remainder of the season.
  3. DJL44
    The article I read stated it as CBT threshold, which includes benefits. Maybe the article was wrong.
  4. DJL44
    The $300/$150 also needs to subtract the same $20M which makes it $280/$130
  5. DJL44
    It is a very good sign that the owners first proposal had full TV revenue sharing in it. That alone could save the 2027 season. Now the only thing to argue about is how hard/soft the ceiling and floor are and what numbers to put on them. MLB is at $245/$171 and MLBPA is at $300/$150. That is not very far apart at all.

    If the Dodgers include prospects to shed dead salary, the Twins can cut the salaried player and keep the prospects. This happens in other sports with a cap all the time.

    You have to make it so the teams that have the best attendance make the most money. I don’t care if they’re spending or even winning if the fans are attending.
  8. DJL44
    They need a SS and 1B at the MLB level. The Twins could move Royce to 1B or they could trade him to a team that needs a 3B. If Buxton was healthy they could use Royce at DH.
  9. DJL44
    This is key. I think you can fix competitive balance with revenue sharing without needing a cap and floor.
  10. DJL44
    $23M of that number is benefits costs, which would leave the Twins $40M short. $148M in payroll is not that far off from what they had in 2024/25.
  11. DJL44
    Ryan, Ober, Bradley, Prielipp, Matthews. That’s five - SWR can stay in the bullpen.
  12. DJL44
    I haven’t seen any details of the proposed revenue sharing changes. Cap and floor is pointless without changes to revenue sharing.
  13. DJL44
    Or they can just take on a bad contract from a team that needs to get under the cap
  14. DJL44
    Twins are tied for 8th in runs scored. Only the Yankees are better in the AL.
  15. DJL44
    Look around the American League. Nearly every team has players performing like that.
  16. DJL44
    A third of the season is complete. Buxton on pace for 48 HR
  17. DJL44
    Lee is the utility player, not Lewis. If Lewis returns to 3B, they can move Lee anywhere in the infield.
  18. DJL44
    Let’s see how he does when batters start looking for the change
  19. DJL44
    It could just as easily go Keaschall, Lee, Culpepper, Lewis
  20. DJL44
    I think his walk rate will also matter. When they sent him down he was chasing garbage. With better swing decisions and better mechanics, Royce can be an impact player again.
  21. DJL44
    This might be a buy-and-sell deadline. There won’t be a lot of sellers with the American League so weak. The Twins still have too many OF/DH bats and could use a first baseman. They could swap a LH reliever, like Banda, for a RH arm. There are moves they can make to improve in the near term without sacrificing the future.
  22. DJL44
    I can’t see them offering Jeffers a qualifying offer. That’s a $23M deal which would make him the highest paid catcher in baseball. He would absolutely accept.
  23. DJL44
    Royce has a SLG above 1.000 in AAA
  24. DJL44
    Taylor Rogers is tradeable just like Coulombe was last season.
  25. DJL44
    It's a better idea now than it was then. I can't imagine they want to keep Larnach through another year of arbitration.
