  1. Why is re-signing Jeffers a non starter? Yes, you have a couple of future guys in the system. One of whom has yet to take a professional swing. Both are at least a couple years away. Trade Jeffers and you're left with two, at best, average catchers. Sign Jeffers to a three year deal. Will cost somewhere between $11-$15 million per year. Not excessive. Tom talks about doing things differently, here' his chance. Move Larnach to make room for the young studs. Make it happen.
  2. I understand that MOST kids Jenkins' age are in the low minors. I was hoping Jenkins wasn't MOST kids. But some are. Kevin McGonigle was an all-star. Mike Trout, Eddie Matthews, Ted Williams, Bryce Harper were. Do we want MOST kids or do we want those guys?
  3. drafted players can't be traded until after the World Series. Chase Petty was one of the quickest traded draft picks going to Cincy for Sonny Gray eight months after being drafted
  4. Moving Culpepper also leaves Kreidler & Gray entrenched because Houston is likely at least a year and a half away. Unless you have a strong feeling that there will NOT be a 2027 season that doesn't feel good.
  5. Half of this article coud be summed up with the following half a sentence: "Why He’s Untouchable: Minnesota has used Brooks Lee, Ryan Kreidler, and Tristan Gray as stop-gap options." This covers both Culpepper AND Houston. Part of another sentence at the end of the Houston blurb outlines the reason to NOT trade Joe Ryan: "Moving him could leave the Twins searching for exactly this type of player.
  6. One of the catchers better pan out since the rube base seems convinced we need to move Jeffers cuz we'd get a return the size of Mount Everest.
  7. How great is it to know that if / when the time comes to dip into the farm we might be bringing up guys like Jenkins & Culpepper instead of Kyle Garlick & JT Riddle.
  8. We should chart our own path. Following that of three organizations that haven't won titles in 75 years seems fruitless. Don't tell me we should do ANYTHING just because somebody else did it. Our path should be something different than the one that has lead us to 35 years without a World Series. Retaining our best players seems like a good way to start.
  9. Trading Jeffers makes perfect sense. IF Tait or Lackey is ready to be the everyday catcher. If you hope to contend, this year or at any point in the next three years it doesn't. Sign the man.
  10. So the REAL question is: Do the Twins handle said roster spot significantly different than other teams? Outman had 70 plate appearances in 58 games before his release. That projects to 195 over 162 games. I'd be willing to bet you'd be hard pressed to find too many teams with a final guy pushing two hundred plate appearances. Pinch hitting, pinch running and defensive replacement are usually the roles for such fellas. Don't think the Twins are much different than other teams in their use of that guy. That's baseball.
  11. Not saying we HAVE to trade on just saying if we do i"d prefer it NOT be the best one.
  12. is the goal to win the same number of championships those three teams have the last 75 years?
