  1. For a team that SUPPOSEDLY WANTS to make the playoffs their lineups sure aren't evidence of that. Why is Roden still on the team, why? Call up ERod now and see what he can do. It's not like Roden is providing any offense.
  2. This. Ryan should have been traded already. Big lost opportunity similar to what happened with Johan Santana. Sighs. Oh well. Jeffers. Another lost opportunity. He's gone at the end of the season via free agency. He's going to turn down a qualifying offer. Mayb the BoSox, Rays, and Yankees had sorry offers not worthy of him, but he is a rental at this point.
  3. I’m just glad this deal wasn’t made. It would have been a massive mistake
  4. One would think. But my guess is they figure next season is a lost strike season so they are holding back calling them up.
  5. I was all for the Twins acquiring him. Prior to the deadline the biggest glaring weakness on this Twins team was bats, still is. The lineup played wayyyyyy OVER its head in the first half of the season. They should be calling up reinforcements now from AAA otherwise all of the bullpen acquisitions were a complete waste.
  6. It's hard to get excited about Dean Kremer. Is he better than Matthews? Possibly. But he hasn't pitched a whole lot this year. I'm not sure it's gonna matter anyways with Ryan looking gassed coming out of the all-star break. This move reminds me of when the Twins tried to start Matt Shoemaker or J.A. Happ to just put bodies in the rotation.
  7. That's why they haven't been promoted yet. I can understand the Twins perspective on that, but still it's frustrating. And to be completely fair both Culpepper and Jenkins have missed significant time this season. I think the Twins don't start the clock on either one of them this season which stinks because us fans want to see them.
  8. There is truth to this statement. The small and medium market clubs got PUNISHED by the regional tv and streaming deal collapses. That's part of the reason I think there is a push for a cap and floor. This level of spending (right now) is probably the ceiling the Twins are willing to spend unless something changes. Which again is why I'm not certain why they hung onto Ryan Jeffers and Joe Ryan. Neither is going to be resigned. They should have gone for the prospects now and let the chips fall where they may after the 2027 labor strike and whatever deal comes out of that so this team can rebuild. To me this trading for these relievers while noble is just a band aid fix and I honestly don't think it's going to be enough to get this team into the playoffs. The offense is flat, and the Joe Ryan looks totally gassed.
  9. And that in and of itself tells you this team has no intention of signing Joe Ryan or Ryan Jeffers to extensions. They SHOULD have traded both of them this deadline and gotten the prospects now instead of letting them walk (Jeffers first this offseason and Ryan the next). I'm not impressed. They only did these moves to boost ticket sales to give fans a hope for a 1 and done playoff run this fall. I really wish the Pohlads would have sold. Tired of this nonsense.
  10. I agree. Getting nothing for Jeffers was a huge waste. The Twins aren't going to pay him and I doubt he signs an extension for what he's expecting. This team may not even make the playoffs either. Considering the Rays and Red Sox made trades for catchers so close to the deadline and the Yankees didn't really get anything decent either for that position makes me believe the Twins had an astronomical unrealistic price.
