    With how bad the middle bullpen is and has been I think you have to have a planned split starts during the playoffs. Joe Ryan has only gone 4 inning his last 4 starts. Start Pablo Lopez game one with Joe Ryan starting game 2 with Maeda taking over as soon as 3rd time thru the order (likely 4 or 5th) having Kenta go through there order twice and hopefully that gets you through Atleast the 8th.

    I believe Larnach is out of options after this season, Larnach likely has some trade value for a middle reliever or deep prospect. Larnach and Gordon are likely gone this off-season and a decision on Miranda also needs to be made.
  3. High heat
    Like many have said he has a 20 day rehab assignment, I also don’t see a fit on this team in 2024 being he will be arbitration eligible, and a worse defender then Castro and hits lefthanded like every other OF option in the organization. Twins will likely look to trade him this off-season for a bucket of ball or cut him. Too bad he was another guy who likely was seen as having some good value on the trade market a year ago likely will get very little to nothing for him in the off-season coming off poor performance and a major injury for a fringe defensive SS 2B CF before.

    I like Pete Alonso! I think it will take much more than what you have offered to get him. Which Twins don’t fit well with unless you are vastly overpaying in prospect capital. If the Mets would take any of our young extra pieces for him I’d make the deal. (Extra pieces being Miranda, Larnach, Winder, Woods Richardson Celestino, Prato)

    With 2 wins in Texas and get away day tomorrow should the twins do the piggy back again. Let Maeda start and follow with a scheduled Cole Sands? Gotta give the day off to DuranJax and Thielbar. The rest of the pen pitched tonight as well. Maybe we’ll put up a 10 spot early and it’s no big deal!
  6. High heat
    Nice to see Funderburk come in and give 2 solid innings., even better to see Winder give 3 solid. id guess Funderburk is sent back down tomorrow for another fresh arm,
  7. High heat
    Nice debut tonight! Nice to see him give us 2 solid inning and Winder come in and shut the door. Funderburk likely getting sent down tho for a few days to get another arm up.
  8. High heat
    Can we finally put some dirt on Cleveland and bury them! I like the piggy back today would have been a big bullpen saver except they had to throw 4 extra inning with some bad baseball. The bullpen mess has to be resolved or we have no chance! Maybe Jax and Duran get some rest and Stewart comes back healthy. Here’s to hoping I guess

    I don’t see a problem with having both Farmer and Castro on the roster either. I just think Farmer will be DFA for financial reasons because Castro and fill his role and Farmer will be an expensive Utility player in the last year of arb and already making 6 milllion.
  10. High heat
    A very nice Swiss Army knife for the short bench. Hoping he is back for the playoffs to pinch run and defensive sub. likely a guy you bring back next yr, He makes Gordon and Farmer DFA this off-season. Tho Castro likely gets replaced by Martin in 2024.
  11. High heat
    I don’t see how you don’t pick up his option. You paid Gallo 11 mil this season you paid farmer 6. Polanco gives you depth at both 2nd and 3rd and he has likely trade value since it’s a 1 yr deal or value at next yrs deadline. I am not sold on Julien at 2B long term or Lewis staying healthy and playing 3B.
  12. High heat
    Nice to have a good month and a half at AAA, hopefully the power isn’t a mirage. The Twins turn out second baseman like butter. Maybe another team sees him as a spencer steers and he is a good piece to move at the deadline.
  13. High heat
    What has went wrong with him!? He looks completely unrecognizable at the plate taking half hearted swing and rolling over balls down the middle. His time in St. Paul he didn’t even put up decent #s against AAA pitching. Now back in the bigs because of injury he is a below average defender at 3B and if he can’t hit why is he up. Stick with Farmer at 3B full time. Hoping Lewis isn’t out long term with that oblique injury. What do you do with Miranda now and going forward.? Was he just a flash in the pan? Did the twins hitting coaches try something different and mess him up completely? Do pitchers have a book on how to get him out and he can’t adjust?
  14. High heat
    I believe there contact is up with Ballys after the 2023 season. I sure hope they dont even bother negotiating with them on the next deal. if baseball doesnt want to die they better require any network broadcasting game to offer it on a streaming platform.
  15. High heat
    He is who we thought he would be!!!!! (Denny Green telling voice).
  16. High heat
    We’ll have to see where we are at in another month health wise standing wise and production wise. Right now as we look and stand I wouldn’t buy a thing and would likely offer a few pieces if teams are looking to take. Maybe in another month you can see what’s in the middle relief availability and spend a low values prospect but a floundering team around .500 doesn’t warrant any series spending.
  17. High heat
    If his legs are feeling good and he is ready to run give him the green light!!! This team I’m not hitting with runners on and is striking out way to much need to find a way to generate offense and stealing bases might be it.
  18. High heat
    I really like Juliens bat and plate discipline is very hard to teach, being more aggressive could help him. He is not Arraez with the eye and contact ability. He is a butcher at 2B, he can’t plays there in his current state long term. With 1B and DH covered I could really see Julien as the big trade piece at the deadline. Now I wouldn’t move him unless it was for a major piece but his bat might be something that moves the needle.
  19. High heat
    I think a left fielder or CFer bat are out only real options. If you feel comfortable moving Kiriloff off first and to LF that could work. they need a back end of the bullpen since Jorge Lopez is so Jekyll and hide. Other than that the guys on the roster just need to play better.
  20. High heat
    I really liked Arraez and he brought in great value in a trade. I really like Juliens bat but I don’t think it is in the same class as Arraez. Like it or not Buxton is or DH going forward and is signed for 5 more yrs. Even if legs get healthy he will be there 50/50 for health management. I see Julien tied to Miranda. Both limited defensively but have good bats. To me Miranda is passable at 3B Julien is not at 2B. Miranda’s value has plummeted where Juliens is at a high.
  21. High heat
    I really like his bat but he can’t play long term at 2B. If I’m the Twins I’m looking to use Julien as a trade piece come July. Hoping you can sell him as a full time 2B and he’s just blocked by Polanco.
  22. High heat
    A 23 yr old who by all accounts is solid to good defensively as a catcher. Now the bat appears to be showing so power. If he can add some more contact he may be a solid catcher. I would guess he is a 40 man add this off-season unless the bat falls off the rest of the way!!! He isn’t much of an option in 2023 unless both Jeffers and Vasquez go down.
  23. High heat
    This game is what bad teams do and is an example of where we are. Up 5 runs and lets teams hang around, don’t make plays defensively to give extra outs. Then keep throwing out the same veterans because you signed them and are unwilling to pivot and cut bait when it doesn’t work out. You just can’t keep giving Pagan inning that matter in any situation. You just knew today that it was going to end badly. Was like staring at a burning fuse heading to a stick of TNT!!!
  24. High heat
    I think health wise Buxton can’t play CF. Not that he can’t get up and go but watching him stop and after he gets up and goes he is in obvious pain. He either needs a IL stint and a reevaluation of his injury and treatment or worst case he is now our DH for the next 6 yrs. I truly believe he will be a DH only until late August early September. If the Twins are in contention they will give him a cordazone shot in the knee and work him back into CF the last 4 to 6 weeks and have him grind it out through the playoffs as the CFer. The fix in the mean time is the twins need to tell Kepler if he wants to stay on this team he needs to get his at bats in CF. Kepler and Taylor split time in CF opening RF.
  25. High heat
    Hoping Vasquez can turn it around a bit but the numbers are very troubling. The issue is the Twins haven’t drafted or developed Catchers and you have no other options passed signing one to a longer term deal this last offseason. I was a Big Ben Rortvedt fan but he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Thought he was a perfect paring with Jeffers as he was great defensively and a LH bat. Looks like they moved off Garver as well at the perfect time. Both those trades were wins for the Twins overall. I do hope the Jeffers and Vasquez playing time flips now and Jeffers gets the 60% of the starts and Vasquez takes the latter. Jeffers has looked like the guy with the bat and has looked really improved defensively behind the plate.
