    Lee and Lewis have been mediocre at best. Lewis has slumped again since his surge after coming back up which I think nobody is surprised by. The Twins are stalling for time. Culpepper and Houston are coming but I also think they are waiting until mid August for Culpepper. Houston is probably coming up sometime mid next season (if there is one, Skubal trade, strike incoming thanks Dodgers, cough, cough). Lewis and Lee are expendable at this point

    Yep this. The Dodgers even stated publicly “they intend to be greedy at the deadline.” Like seriously the commissioner needs to stop this nonsense. And yes MLB needs a cap. Sorry it’s true

    Wouldn’t the Twins love to have that draft pick back so the could have taken Hunter Greene instead.
  4. laloesch
    Yes exactly. If it’s true, he’s basically telling them HE GONE! at the end of the season. You HAVE to trade him if a decent offer comes along. This team is going nowhere in the playoffs if they sneak in. GET THE prospects, preferably starting pitching, end of story. This clinging to him till the last second is utter foolishness. A compensation pick is a lottery ticket at best. At least. If they trade for one or two prospects already working there way up in an organization there’s a record of progress.

    I can't imagine the Twins would be willing to give up the prospects to pry Alcantara away from the Marlins given he is a free agent in 2028 (though I would still love to have him). Jose Soriano and Reid Detmers are definitely more doable trades with Detmers being my preference of the two.

    If they both get a real shot in the Majors by middle of next season (Culpepper should have been called up by now arguably), I'd be as happy as a clam at high tide.
  7. laloesch
    He's got a ways to go still.
  8. laloesch
    I suspect that Houston will quickly force the issue once he gets the call to St. Paul.

    Since when is a 3 year multi-million dollar contract predatory? Honest question. That's gonna be more money than 99% of Americans earn in 15 life times easily.
  10. laloesch
    Meh. Pass
  11. laloesch
    Apparently there are many.
  12. laloesch
    Lol. Yep

    It’s pretty bad when the writers of this supposed professional website flame bait the fan members. No joke, that’s what this article really is. Flame bait. I guess it’s rules for thee and not for me? Eh TD? It’s kinda a cardinal sin to trash your own fans for a completely legitimate opinion on Jeffers.
  14. laloesch
    100% THIS. I am a Twins fan but I know the realities of baseball. No hack writer on TD is gonna tell me what to think or say as a fan. That kind of arrogance and holier than thou attitude is what's driving all the young Gen Z fans away from baseball to MLS. Sorry, but the truth hurts and IT IS TRUE. The Twins have a slew of catchers now. I would love to keep Ryan Jeffers and Joe Ryan for that matter. I would love it if the Twins signed both long term, but I think it's safe to say that is not gonna happen. Who knows, both players may want out anyways and the roster is still full of holes like Swiss cheese and this team definitely needs more pieces to become truly competitive. Jeffers can and should be traded for the right deal that brings back multiple good pieces and arguably, Joe Ryan as well.
  15. laloesch
    Yep. Until the Yankees, Mets, Phillies, Dodgers, etc., are forced into payroll parity via a cap it’s never gonna be truly competitive
  16. laloesch
    If you could get him for a reasonable prospect cost and the objective is to beef up the lineup for the post season, I'd say do it.
  17. laloesch
    Let him stay in the rotation the rest of the season barring a complete collapse. He's still doing wayyyy better than Sim was before they released him. If Mick Abel was still healthy and pitching well it might make sense to consider shifting him to the bullpen, but until Lopez and Abel are back, and depending on what happens with Joe Ryan and Ober I think the Twins should keep their options open with Matthews. For all we know 2027 might be a very strike shortened season and Ryan might get traded too. We also don't know what Lopez will be like once he returns along with Abel. Matthews is a viable rotation option right now so keep him there.
  18. laloesch
    I 100% agree. THIS is a pitcher you lock up immediately. Sign him to a 5 or 6 year deal.
  19. laloesch
    This. Sim was TERRIBLE. Even the Jays dumped him.
  20. laloesch
    It's the Twins. I doubt he's called up before the 2031 / 2032 season.
  21. laloesch
    Yeah there's no way he debuts in 2027.
  22. laloesch
    "Round 2: Pick 43, Carson Tinney, C, Texas It seems like the Twins got scooped here, on Logan Reddemann and Chase Brunson. Tinney is an extremely fun prospect, though. He hit 22 bombs in the SEC while walking about 20% of the time and putting up a 154 wRC+. The catching improved, too. If he can be viable behind the plate, great, but he’s there to endanger the lives of fans in the second deck." I tend to agree. My guess is they had their eyes on Logan Reddeman but the Rockies got him first.
  23. laloesch
    The player's union says they are totally against it, but if you get away from the big player contracts to the lesser guys, I'm sure in secret they are gung ho for a salary floor. They are the ones that will benefit most from a salary floor not the star players already getting paid massive contracts
  24. laloesch
    Still a hole at 1st. Lewis is doing slightly better, but still not much better than before his demotion.
  25. laloesch
    I'm gonna buck the trend in the comments and say pick Jackson Flora. A top of the rotation college pitcher will progress rapidly through the system. The Twins need as many top arms coming up as possible. Ryan is not gonna be a Twin within a year or so, and Lopez is gonna be gone soon too if he ever returns to his former self after TJ surgery. Ober is also seeing his last days as a Twin. The Twins have some solid pieces in Taj and Abel. Matthews and Prielipp look promising, but Festa is still a question mark as is Rojas. While I'd like to have Lackey or Emerson, I still think the underlying urgent need is pitching. Culpepper will be ready soon at SS and there are several promising catchers in the system now. However, all that said I don't think the Twins can go wrong taking one of Emerson, Cholowsky, Lackey, or Flora.
