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.

2026 Twins Daily Minor League All Stars
High heat replied to Steve Lein's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
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- 20 replies

Should the Twins Bring Back Josh Bell for 2027?
High heat replied to Ray Stuedemann's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
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) -
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)

Breaking: Twins Calling Up Former First-Round Pick Aaron Sabato

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.

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.

I think moving guys like Larnach and/or Roden. And getting back a failed starter or someone you feel can transition into the bullpen like a Morris or Ryan Galligher. Freeing up space for guys who don’t fit in long term plans and can add a piece that may help us this yr, but is more of a future looking bullpen build. This takes some foresight and advanced scouting but it is the one move at the deadline that can help in the short term and has more long term asset.
-
The lineup has been remarkably healthy, if the trade deadline comes and some injuries occur you could see him get an opportunity. If Lee or Lewis miss time and Bell and Larnach get moved I could see him get time. Still would have Kodt Clemens to cover 1B He is still behind Gabby Gonzalez and possibly even Fedko as 1B options so there is a lot ahead of him to get an opportunity.

It’s Time to See More Ryan Kreidler
High heat replied to Greggory Masterson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Yes Kriedler as the everyday SS. His bat speed has increased significantly and the defense alone makes up for any bat deficiencies.- 40 replies
