Minnesota Twins under contract for 2026

Rob Manfred should have had the stones Bowie Kuhn showed and put a stop to this. This isn't MLB. -
1. Byron Buxton 2. Pablo Lopez End of list. Rent, dont buy, Pablo
-
I bet there's a Pohlad or two who can.

I fully expect the day to be capped by Houston rejecting Correa's medicals and Correa to be the Twins starting SS Friday night in Cleveland.

Harrison Bader isn't young. Durable I guess, even if this will only be his second season of 100 gsmes played since 2021. He'll be controllable this winter. I hope to hell they dont spend money on him though. They're not contending next year and Bader has no place on a non contender.
-
Are we 100 percent sure the Pohlads will even fund a 26 man Roster?
-
Young, durable and controllable everyday players are not available to hire.

We're really going with the theory the Twins traded Duran because he was due ~$8M next year? I'm down on this franchise but even I don't think they're THAT cheap. They paid Harrison Bader almost that. Vazquez MORE than that. Its only about $3M over MLB average salary. Well within ANY reasonable 2026 budget. Geez.

90 percent of Twins fans are unaware of any of this.

Agree, with the caveat someone in A ball or lower really has no business being ranked as the #3 prospect in baseball. I mean, its all just opinion, and IMO prospects in general are wildly overvalued, but ranking an 18 or 19 year old in A ball is just too difficult to have much meaning. If they're really the 3rd best player in the minors they should be playing in the majors.

Agreed, with the caveat I dont have to agree this was the best deal available, nor that if it was, there was some imperative still in place to sell Duran. It'd be malpractice not to sell expiring contracts this deadline. On a massive scale. Sell, sell, sell. Sell at a discount, if necessary. But that's not Duran. Or Jax. Or Stewart. Ryan. Sell sell sell those guys only at a profit.

I also think Correa is a pretty strong bounce back candidate. He has lost range but he is still a very dependable SS. And I think he's a better hitter than he's shown this year. Get out from under the entire contract? Sure. But that's not happening and it makes zero sense to pay him to play for someone else.

The post I responded to was "September," not 2026. But for the record if Abel is the Twins 3rd best starter in 2026 we're going to be pretty bad. As for "upside" and "likelihood of becoming a solid starter" do some research and let me know where Matthews was rated as a prospect. I know youre big on those ratings.
-
Lopez and Ober will still be on IL, Ryan traded and Matthews will regress?
-
I always felt getting out from under Correa was a long shot.
