  1. So let say you are the GM of the Twins. Most people agree the Twins fell out of contention for this season. Thus, you are sellers. However, you will want to regroup and compete again in 2026 (fan excitement, ticket sales, ads, etc). Some team has offered you Jhoan Duran, and in return, they are asking for Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait. Would you do that trade to boost your team for next season and the season after?
  2. I think what you said about Duran is the consensus in this thread, with much disappointment (and worse) to go along with it. However, it is not universal. The arguing is about the return from Philly, and doing the deal a day early, and not improving the offense in the near term. Not too much being said about Jax one way or the other. Also some arguing about chess—let me promote our chess thread here 🙂 https://twinsdaily.com/forums/topic/54299-chess-world-championship/#comment-1256384
  3. Heh, they did all right together as a team. I admit I forgot Shelton was currently unemployed.
  4. The Twins can make Tingler the interim manager for the final two months, close on the Correa trade, and then first thing when the season’s done, bring in a solid manager from the outside who can keep these guys sharp and guide them though a full season. That can get you back to 86-88 wins on its own, even with the current roster and pitching staff (provided they keep the big names) and none of it requires Pohlad to be involved. Baldelli will come out somewhere else just fine.
  5. 100% guaranteed he springs back to life Only thing is he may need to agree to move to third base when Peña returns.
  6. A good place to be, or to be aware of anyway. A place this organization probably hasn’t been in since the early 2000s
  7. All the trade/sell stuff is exciting and fun to discuss. For this team to actually make a run, let alone compete or be good again, they 100% need a new manager from the outside, regardless of the players.
  8. Which already happened back in, oh I don’t know, 2022?
  9. It could also be another epic bullpen prank. Remember this?
  10. We will have to wait to find out, because the corporate sponsor talking for a half inning is clearly much more important than the team’s performance the rest of 2025
  11. Tonkin not getting the calls on the corners. huh. (in fairness, a strike is a strike is a strike—or should be)
  12. Well kudos to the kid making his MLB debut. Thats not nothing.
  13. He had a minor physical issue pulling in to first base after his hit in the 1st (it would be even better if he was suddenly traded)
  14. Was it me, or did they just show Jhoan Durán hugging the other bullpens guys for like three seconds (watching at a bar without access to audio)
  15. He looked so good, the first time through the order…
  16. Have to disagree - the triple was a fly ball that hit the cushion on the wall funny. No other way to play it.
  17. Spoiler! Boston is just as terrible as the Twins, except their record happens to be better. This is not the MLB of 15 years ago.
