    The Giants look very likely to trade Eldridge for pitching this offseason after acquiring Devers from the Red Sox.

    He has looked obviously unhappy with the Saints when I have watched him play. When he makes an out or a bad fielding play, everyone in the ballpark gets to watch him throw a fit.

    MLB trade rumors had an interesting article about how the Giants are interested in replenishing their rotation with Sonny Gray this offseason. I wonder if they would be even more interested in local phenom Joe Ryan. Ryan was drafted by the Giants out of high school but opted to attend Cal State Northridge instead. He could probably be convinced to sign a long term contract extension with his hometown team. What would you want in return from the Giants? I think Bryce Eldridge would have to headline the return. I would also ask for Whisenhunt.

    Willi Castro was famously boneheaded

    Jenkins will take a corner. Which corner is still unknown. Typically the next best fielding OF gets RF, but RF is a short porch at Target Field and the Twins put Bader in LF. However, Austin Martin is a much better fit for LF than RF. I would start the season with Jenkins in LF, Buxton in CF and Rodriguez in RF with Martin on the bench and Wallner as the DH. The Twins might prefer to platoon Roden and Martin in LF and put Jenkins in RF.

    Sabato has a .304 OBP in AAA with 14 walks to 73 Ks. If you don't like players with a bad OBP who occasionally hit dingers, then you're not going to like Sabato.

    Teams do get a windfall for making the playoffs but that isn't as predictable as cutting payroll below $100M.

    Keirsey is more likely to be picked up off waivers since he has 2 options left, but I expect both would not be claimed if outrighted this offseason.
  9. DJL44
    OAA has him at -1 -2 in CF, +1 in LF and 0 at 2B It's all based on very small sample sizes. As a utility player he doesn't have much utility. If the 2026 bench players are Austin Martin, Kody Clemens and Brooks Lee, that would cover the positions they need to cover but the defense would be bad at SS and CF. They could slide Jenkins over to CF when Buxton needs a break, but they don't have a good backup at SS.

    I don't think Jenkins will be added to the MLB roster until March 25 of next season.

    That’s a lot of confidence in 99PA. I’m glad he’s playing better but I think there is more work to do if he wants to be an everyday player.
  12. DJL44
    I hope Raya makes his debut if Topa goes on the IL. Even if it goes poorly it would be more useful than bringing back Davis.
  13. DJL44
    Guessing Topa ends up on the IL. Hoping someone other than Davis replaces him.
  14. DJL44
    Keep running him out there. Every time his ERA increases, his arbitration award decreases.

    What an absolute disaster year for Jose Miranda that he can't even get called up to play on this lousy team. Is his career over?
  17. DJL44
    They're going to need to have Nelly show up every week.
  18. DJL44
    I really hope the owners aren’t planning on sabotaging their product by accelerating the decline of MLB with a lockout.
  19. DJL44
    Wacha throws 93-96. He’s not a soft-tosser.
  20. DJL44
    I think his hitting will improve but he’s not a shortstop. He is less athletic than most MLB middle infielders. He’s 24, so not that young, and has had access to high level coaching his entire life. He’s as experienced as any 24 year old player can be. His path to contributing is at 3B, but the Twins have Royce Lewis there. The Twins have known this since they drafted him, or they should have if they read any scouting reports.

    There has to be revenue sharing. The Yankees and Dodgers need other teams to play to fill out a 162 game season and those teams are going to demand a cut of the revenue. How the revenue is shared matters. Right now the Twins only get 50% of the revenue for each additional ticket sold but they're 100% responsible for additional payroll. MLB needs to revamp it's revenue sharing to share more of the the media money (which comes from existing) and less of the attendance-generated money like parking, concessions, and ticket sales (which comes from winning).
  22. DJL44
    My uncle said to hope in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster.
  23. DJL44
    Who else is going to hire Falvey or Rocco to run a team? I agree that the MLB revenue sharing model creates really bad incentives.
  24. DJL44
    They will make about $35-$40M more profit by losing. It's included - "Other".
  25. DJL44
    I expect them to trade Larnach and I expect them to sell Joe Ryan at peak value. That brings the payroll down to $83M. I think they will shop Ober, but won't like the offers so they'll keep him and hope for a bounceback so they can sell him at the 2026 trade deadline. I am a little worried they will sell Jeffers and go with Pereda and Gasper behind the plate.
