    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.
  2. High heat
    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.
  6. 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
  7. 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)
  8. 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)
  9. High heat
    He honestly can’t be worse than Lewis the last 6 weeks.
  10. 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.
  11. High heat
    I had a bet with brother is ST we would be a 90 lost team. We still might get there!
  12. High heat
    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.
  13. 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.
  14. High heat
    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.
  15. High heat
    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.
  16. High heat
    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.
  17. High heat
    Yes Kriedler as the everyday SS. His bat speed has increased significantly and the defense alone makes up for any bat deficiencies.
  18. High heat
    If Diaw moves up a level to AA he need to be a catcher or an outfielder not both. You’re hurting his development at both positions if he isn’t a major league catcher at all.
  19. High heat
    When does Cory Lewis go to a majority Knuckleballs instead of the 10% arsenal.
  20. High heat
    Nice to see aLawyerson starting a rehab assignment. He looked good in ST and the first 2 weeks of the season before injury. Ben Ross continues to hit, he might be the Royce Lewis replacement for the short term. Any update on E Rod? Hope he comes back soon.
  21. High heat
    I feel we will look back in October and say this weekend was the end of the season. Loss Ryan and Sand. Bullpen bleeds runs with no help coming! Anyone else think this is a 100 loss season?
  22. High heat
    Not one mention of anything defensively. The Twins have a whole mess of DHs already, we need Mendez at 1B learning the position. we need Olivar and Tait getting every opportunity behind the plate to sharper there skills. It’s nice they hit some balls hard the last week but after watching the 26 Twins defense doesn’t slump or have hot and cold weeks. 1 tool players can be tough to watch.
  23. High heat
    What is DeBarge out look? Minor league gold glove at 2B, played some SS and CF last season. Is that the plan moving forward or are they better off having him work on an everyday position. 60SB last season and some developing power, could you have a Brian Dozier like accent? Ps I know Dozier never had that kind of speed.
  24. High heat
    Jeffers will not hold up and be productive at this pace. Even if he is healthy or productive he will get traded at deadline so caratini signing is for coverage and 2027. Our entire current roster doesn’t fit 2026.
  25. High heat
    Doncon looked good in his ST appearances. Would like to see Diaw or Tait start hot and push themselves into catching at AA. Hill might be a fast mover to AA. If his control is better he might make light work of high A.
