Here's hoping Mathews will continue to toe the rubber and put his best foot forward.

The biggest head scratcher at the time was the Varland trade. It did not need to happen. It should not have happened. It was not a money saver. It angered many local Twins fans since Varland was a local favorite. These were the sentiments a year ago, before Varland became an All Star. We humans are not supposed to understand everything in our lifetimes, like the unmeasurable size of the universe, when does it stop being partly cloudy and become partly sunny, if Cinderella's shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off and the Louis Varland trade.

Beautiful article Seth. It was heartfelt. Best wishes to Stephen. And to you, Seth.

Wow. What a great report about some awesome minor leaguers.

I feel like a proud parent, excited for my son's major league debut. My two other sons, Walker and Marek, are not far behind.

Wonderful news. A smart move by the Twins FO.

Quite the conundrum.

You got me. I plead guilty.

Oh, I understand now Thanks.

Please explain this post. Are you saying the Twins could have gotten Louis Varland as a rule 5 draft pick in 2026?

True, but I felt that trading Miller was a mistake at the time he was traded. I told you so here on TD posts. I value defense.

Who will play 2B with Culpepper at 3B? Lee?

Culpepper will be an excellent second baseman.

And Noah Miller's excellent defense at SS is his best asset. After seeing him field his position at spring training when he was in the Twins organization, I became a big Noah Miller fan. I was extremely disappointed when he was traded, and the players the Twins received in the trade were woefully inadequate. Remember Margot set the major league record for the most at bats as a pinch hitter in a season with NO HITS. ...30. Rocco kept running him out to pinch hit, I guess figuring the odds were in Margot's favor.

Exactly.
