  1. Morris is the cat likely to be the closer of the future. Hopefully, Shelton starts to give him more big-time 9th inning appearances.
  2. Anthony Banda will be healthy in 2027, but is only on a one year deal for this year. He was looking good before his injury. Cole Sands would be back in 2027.
  3. For you Debbie Downers. Remember what you expected from this team at the start of this season. Today, they took on the best pitcher in baseball pitching for the team with the best record in baseball, in THEIR ballpark. The Brewers needed two ridiculous plays by their right fielder Lara in order to win this game. Put Clemon’s throw a few feet more to Kody’s right and that last play is an out. Meanwhile, the other Kody (Funderburk) is turning into a very good reliever I am having a lot of fun watching this team this year. And it’s not just because I started with low expectations. Go Twins.
  4. I need to dust off my old Vikings Jersey with Daunte’s last name on the back.
  5. Actually, it’s better to have two good players in the line-up for over a season than to have them in the line-up for just 7 weeks.
  6. Someone asked me whether this is true about service time. I have just seen this idea posted here and presumed it’s true. I have not looked at the rules myself (that would be a real snoozer!).
  7. Culpepper and Jenkins would then accumulate service time throughout all the lost part of the 2027 season (list time due to labor strife in negotiations of the new CBA). Bad idea.
  8. The Twins overdid the firesale last year and suffered a massive drop in attendance and fan interest. They were worried that would increase even if they only sold Jeffers this year. or it is possible that they did not receive an adequate offer for him. Don’t underestimate the possibility that the fan revolt motivated the failure to properly move Jeffers. That is the only big mistake of this deadline (unless there was no offer for Jeffers that approached that offered by Boston for Adley R - who knows?) I don’t buy into the Pohlad-Falvey philosophical feud posited here. That presumes too much
  9. With this .500 team in a year when the Dodgers have broken the bank to win its 3rd title in a row, I like the idea of making fewer buys at the deadline. Actually. I was hoping Jeffers could be dealt for something but I think the ownership is worried about further angering of the fan base (screaming “Cheap Pohlads”). That’s probably correct financially but wrong from a standpoint of fielding a better team till 2030.
  10. Rutschman has had repeated injury issues and was just about to start a rehab assignment for the O’s. Jeffers’ hamate bone injury is not the chronic type which can return. There are arguments to be made that Jeffers was the better catcher even with the expiring contract. I’m disappointed that Jeffers did not ignite a bidding war from which the Twins could take advantage. Cleveland got better by adding an All-Star starter to its rotation.
  11. I’m presuming the offers for Jeffers were not good enough. I’m worried that the front office was worried about criticism, however. I would have liked to have seen the Twins win a bidding war for Jeffers. But alas …
  12. In the Jeff Hoffman trade, the Twins got some cash to cover his salary and gave up some international pool money (they got some in a previous trade).
  13. Dasan Hill, John Klein and Dameury Pena. The biggest name is Dasan Hill, a lefty starter currently putting up BAD numbers at Cedar Rapids. But he is a rated prospect for the Twins. I’ll take this trade.
  14. Caratini is signed for 2027, Jeffers is not. Trade Jeffers for more.
