    I think it depends on the budget. If we are cutting salary by 15 to 20 million Farmer is a guy who can be moved to save $ and is replaceable. I would not move Farmer just to move him and I’m guessing there won’t be any teams willing to give up a bunch for him.
  2. High heat
    I think you found out this yr you can’t just DH him and keep him healthy or productive on the field. He has to play CF if that’s for 5 game or for 50 game or 150 games. You also have to have a backup for when he misses significant time. I hope next year that plan is Castro and Austin Martin.
  3. High heat
    Rosario is the big prospect name seems that not much else going maybe cassetti has a Jeffers development behind the plate and becomes a much better prospect. Thoughts on Veen, lefty relievers are always a need.
  4. High heat
    They aren’t adding Lee because he hasn’t dominated or really adjusted at AAA yet and he would need to be added to the 40 man and kept on all off-season which he doesn’t need to be added yet causing and additional off-season 40 man crunch. Austin Martin doesn’t really help in that with the arm injury and the poor play at SS he isn’t a major league option at 3B or SS so he doesn’t help positionally. if any 2 of Buxton Lewis or Correa can’t go for the playoffs Luplow maybe on the playoff roster as a RH bat.
  5. High heat
    Yes to Stevenson assuming Buxton is completely out. No to Ober because he won’t be need in relief and as many have said a 4th starter is needed to start divisional series if wild card series goes 3 games and I would want Ober as that starter.
  6. High heat
    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.
  7. High heat
    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.
  8. 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.
  9. High heat
    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)
  10. High heat
    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!
  11. 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,
  12. 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.
  13. 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
  14. High heat
    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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. High heat
    He is who we thought he would be!!!!! (Denny Green telling voice).
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
