    Maybe DeBarge has some Brian Dozier qualities and has some late blooming with a swing adjustment. (Dozier had less the 10 HR and OBP less the .400 until his age 24 season at AA). Or maybe he flops and never makes it passed AA. He is talented and has some good utility qualities but I am not penciling him into any role with the Twins. OR Maybe he kicks down the door in ‘27 and is the right handed swing while being able to play 2B, CF, LF and good speed and stolen base abilities. he is the guy we thought Austin Martin was going to be. Time will tell and if we don’t have Major League Baseball for sometime a deep dive and watch into these guys at AA and AAA will likely be our baseball fix.

    Jimenez needs the reps and ABs that Arizona Fall league offers (would be nice for him to go play Winter ball in Dominican as well). Khadim Diaw was in a similar spot last season. Had a healthy good season at AA and has put himself in the future catcher conversation.

    I don’t really see this as a tough decision. Single A hitters who haven’t put up great # don’t get taken. If the Twins add him best case scenario is he puts them in a Emma (or Gilberto Celestino) situation where he is out of minor league option still hasn’t played in the majors (or very minimal) I think the best option is to leave him off and he likely won’t get taken and if he does he is likely to get returned. Adding a player like him that young and far away from majors knowing your going to use up atleast 2 minor league option yrs before even sniffing the majors.

    I would have went with Houston. Still something to be said of the best ability is availability. This is especially true when you play good defense at a premium position. Houston doesn’t ever have to be a middle of the order hitter to be a good productive MLB player. If he can get on base and have enough power that pitchers don’t just groove strikes. Houston has shown he can be a 5 tool player.

    2026 was a year of decision making on who to move on from and who to build on. Larnach, Lewis, Ober, Sands, time to move on from. Saving from these non tenders would pay Jeffers qualifying offer if accepted. Clemens, Nance, Kremer are pieces for 2027 and of course Ryan and Bradley. what is Bandas healthy status? If he is ready to go for opening day he should be tendered or atleast approached for a 1 yr deal. A name not on this list though is Alex Jackson. He might be tendered as the back up catcher likely to make under 2 million. Or if they can do the same with his as last season.

    I think the group that’s been playing the last 2 weeks is a pretty decent defensive start for ‘27. Like looks much better in RF after getting consistent innings. Emma and Jenkins in LF CF. Lee at 3rd is an above average 3B with Clemens being ok at 2B. Catching has been a disaster defensively. Would love to have Jeffers back but I don’t think that is happening.
  17. High heat
    There is a million other places to have a data center save the world discussion. I think there is a decent # of younger players on this list. Caden Kendle is 24 but was a 4 yr college player. Winokur and Diaw are kind of interesting
  18. High heat
    No, I think the DH needs to be more of a rotation. I like Bell just rather get the 5 outfielders all ABs. (Emma, Jenkins Buxton Luke, Roden)
  19. High heat
    Time to cut bait. Lewis, Larnach, Wallner, Ober can just be non tendered. Opening you a spot at 1B and DH along with a Utility player and a starting pitcher. Also cutting 20 million off the books that can be reinvested in those open spots. (bullpen also needs multiple arms but that’s for a different discussion)
  20. High heat
    He honestly can’t be worse than Lewis the last 6 weeks.
  21. High heat
    Well if nothing else you found out you don’t have much, and time to move on, might mean full rebuild this offseason. Taj is a playoff caliber starter and Brooks Lee is an average starting 3B. Zebby likely needs to move to the bullpen. The rest can be cut or traded for a few bag of balls. Lewis has zero consistency (may have even just turned back into a pumpkin)and likely fell behind Clemens. Austin Martin hasn’t hit since May and has had about 4 good months his entire big league career.

    I had a bet with brother is ST we would be a 90 lost team. We still might get there!

    You won 2 game I wouldnt call it streaking! With saying that after the Philly series and Braves and Padres coming I thought we were toast! This at least keeps are playoffs alive. Gotta get a sweep tomorrow and go to SD and hope to take 2.
  25. High heat
    This is the move, trade Caritini offer Jeffers the qualifying offer in off season. Jeffers and Jackson the rest of the way. If Jeffers declines offer you can go get another FA catcher in offseason that’s a ‘27 problem.

    Cory Lewis seems to be getting it back together. Is there a promotion to AAA in the near future? He would be an interesting multi inning reliever.
