    I liked Susac as an option before they traded for Alex Jackson. I still like bringing him to compete for the back up catcher as I’m not completely sold on Jackson. I assumed they would be taking a pitcher since they have so many bullpen spots to fill but maybe they really like Susac. I just hope this doesn’t mean the Jeffers rumors are true and they plan on going with Susac and Jackson as the catchers in 2026. Hikes!!!

    I don’t think trading Jeffers just to sign a lesser option for 1 yr makes much sense. I wouldn’t mind if you traded for a catcher with more team control. I’d like to know what Pittsburgh would ask for Henry Davis. You would have to get something decent for Jeffers tho

    Where there is smoke there is fire! You don’t say well don’t know a budget and don’t know what direction the team is going if you have any plan to build around this team. This new ownership group wants a quick return on investment and that means cutting this payroll to the bones and collecting on revenue $. If it was someone who wanted to invest in the team they would have come out and said it by now with the falling season ticket base and fan interest. Twins are tearing it down Buxton, Pablo, Ryan are all gone. Hopefully can bring in some talent and hope for 2030.

    There is no such thing as a bad minor league deal!!! if there is .01% chance he turned back the clock to 2019 he is a good bet for a minor league deal with invite to ST

    Andrew Pintar is most interesting but you already have Outman and Martin and Roden who are all out of options and likely better today. I was hoping for Creed Willems, a LH hitting catcher with big power and a big arm behind the plate. With the addition of Jackson I think they would only take Willems if they knew Jeffers was gone.
  6. High heat
    They should take a pitcher for sure to convert into a bullpen piece. I want them to take Creed Willems tho a LH hitting catcher from Baltimore who was left unprotected.

    Rule 5 Nasim Nunez from the Marlins. He was drafted in rule 5 last yr I believe but was sent back during ST. He has a good major league glove at SS and elite speed. If you’re going to be bad and not spend $ at least go after interesting prospects not interested in IKF. He is going to get a few million and that can be better used in the bullpen.
  8. High heat
    He bring experience and knowledge of transitioning from struggled starting pitcher with good stuff to successful bullpen arm to closer. I think the Twins have and will have lots of those in the 2026 and 2027 bullpen. How the Twins make that transition for pitchers will be a big part of them possibly have any kind of success going forward.

    To answer the question I can realistically see 80M Trading both Pablo and Ryan as well as Jeffers and non Tendering Larnach. You still have to spend to bring in a 1B and if trading Jeffers 2 catchers and at least 3 Bullpen pieces (as well as keeping Topa)
  10. High heat
    He will be 21 next season, like a guy drafted out of college. The AZ fall league will be a good test. Not a lot of high end pitching talent but some more advanced pitching. I think you keep leaving a guy like Winokur at SS until he proves he can’t play there. At 20 yrs old the power will likely still develop the bat to ball skills is important improvement to see in game. At the very least he is one of the most interesting prospects in the twins system.
  11. High heat
    I would guess he gets DFA by Twins in hopes of keeping as minor league depth
  12. High heat
    I don’t think Adam’s looked terrible, I think he’ll take some time to transition to the 1 inning bullpen role. Festa might take some time to transition to the bullpen as well. If we are wishing on a star listing Lawyerson then might as well list Matt Canterino, atleast he had great stuff in the past and was working on transition to the Bullpen in 2025 before shoulder surgery in spring training.
  13. High heat
    Twins don’t have many MLB bullpen arms. Topa and Sands are really it, they might be middle relievers throw into high leverage reliever spots. You just need major league arms at this point. Keep 2 (Sands, Topa) Free agent Sign 2 continue converting 2 (Ohl, Adams) Covert 2 young starters to relievers. maybe 1 from each catagory works out and you can have some assembly of a bullpen in 2027. 2 Million for a reliever in Topa you know can get MLB hitters out and throw strikes .
  14. High heat
    I think Larnach is an easy non tender candidate. They tried to trade him at the deadline. They traded for 2 LH corner outfielders with 2 more top prospects in AAA as LH corner OF. All are much better defensively. I hope Wallner gets a 1B glove this offseason.
  15. High heat
    Tonkin has no upside at this point, he has show over multiple season that he can be a reliable MLB reliever. Why not cut him save the 40 man spot and sign him or someone similar to minor league deal.
  16. High heat
    There needs to be a hard and fast rule for MLB teams regarding spending all of the revenue sharing $ on player salary or related player pay. Incentives teams to spend $ on paying players early pre arbitration. Making future fixed cost an asset not a burden. Maybe a bigger penalty on high revenue generating teams and limited penalties for medium to low revenue generating teams who spend over during (competitive windows)

    SWR secured a rotation slot in 2026. Hoping the splitter continues to evolve and gives SWR a different outlook then he has 3 months ago. Austin Martin might be a nice platoon/part time LF and RH option pinch runner and defensive replacement. I just have a feeling Martin and Outman will be the LFers next yr. Clemens had a nice month of June that really propped up his numbers but he is likely just another bench bat….. hard to have 5 or 6 bench bats, someone has to start.
  18. High heat
    James Rowson? Twins hitting coach when they were good at hitting. He is Yankees current hitting coach was Tigers hitting coach last season when many young prospects came up and broke out. I believe he is second in command now with the Yankees.
  19. High heat
    Julien and Clemens will be interesting to see if one or both get DFAed. It would be a terrible going into 2026 with both guys on the roster. You could sell me on Clemens or Julien as a bench bat but either starting significant games without a much better right handed option.
  20. High heat
    I think you’re right, the Twins will cut bait with him and go sign another play. That player will likely flounder and look lost at the plate. All I’m say is the MLB role of consistently inconsistent ABs is difficult and the guys who can stay read and contribute when called is a major league skill set. Fitzgerald seems to be able to atleast give you good at bats when called upon.
  21. High heat
    Not a sexy spot or take but I think Ryan Fitzgerald is a good bench piece for 2026. Not a lot of guys can play 1 day a week and have good at bats. He can play all three infield positions and he can plays some OF. He is a major league 26th man.
  22. High heat
    I think Ohl and Adam’s if they transition into a 1 inning role I think they can be major league middle relievers. Braggs if he can figure out the control might be able to be the lefty specialist.
  23. High heat
    Ober,Lewis, Jeffers, Sands, Ryan will be offered arb, Jeffers and Ryan might be traded before the Twins pay them a dime. Larnach will be non tendered. I can’t tell on the organizational view of Kody Clemens, if he is viewed as a utility player who can play some OF and 2B he could be a useful bench piece. If he is viewed as just a 1B and our best option at 1B in 26 you know what happens this offseason. Im guessing he is a guy they offer a MLB contract to prior to Arb. If they aren’t close on salary he gets non tendered. The relievers they might offer 1 yr contracts to prior to arb offers and if they don’t accept they will likely be non tendered.
  24. High heat
    I’m hoping Wallner picks up a 1B and works on the footwork and grounders all offseason. There is no way they keep both Ryan and Pablo and don’t make any big bullpen adds. I feel they will be trading one or both of them. As well as trading Jeffers. I think Parada is DFA and Gasper has a better chance of sticking as the back up catcher. I don’t think he has looked good defensively behind the plate but I think he has looked better than expected. His bat is much more long term then a few good hits Parada has had who I think has looked bad defensively airmailing throws and passed balls.
  25. High heat
    I like Wallner’s bat, I think learning 1B in the offseason and letting an OF of Outman, Buxton, Martin Roden to start the season. With Erod and Walker Jenkins not far off. You can bring in a good defensive SS to fill in and a RH 1B. That gives you a Wallner Clemens FA 1B rotation at DH/1B with Wallner and Clemens having a little positional flexibility. The bullpen is a disaster and will likely be more throw **** at wall and see what sticks. I just feel that Pablo and Ryan and Jeffers all get traded and at that point it doesn’t much matter what else you do your a 100 loss team.
