    I think this depends on where we are at or after the trade deadline. If we are sellers and fringe contenders I think they can and will move on from Vasquez, maybe someone they bring in or just a major league tryout.
  2. High heat
    I wouldn’t count out being big sellers at the deadline.
  3. High heat
    You moved on from the 1.5 million you owed Alcala and get Joey Wentz? I guess another lefty. Can’t be much worse the Alcala maybe can provide some length in the bullpen or more likely will be DFAed again in a week when Adam’s can be recalled or a better arm fall to us on waivers.
  4. High heat
    I agree with you, but after this season I believe he will be a minor league free agent, at 26 and no prospect or anyone of value playing 1B at AAA you have to see if the production with the bat can translate. I have huge doubts but I think you have to see.
  5. High heat
    No one really thought a 30 yr old journeyman was all the sudden going to hit .270 with 30 hr power. Twins got a ton of value out of him at a time that was desperately needed. He actually may have saved the season. But him turning back into the player he has always been should be expected.
  6. High heat
    You’d think they would move Sabato up to AAA here shortly. Maybe he figured something out but it’s a high bar with the bat to have any kind of mlb value in he is a bad defensive 1B only.
  7. High heat
    It would be nice to get Wallner and Buxton back. I think it would be best to use Castro as a regular utility player going forward. Work as a replacement for a guy on days off, punch run or pinch hit late inning defense replacement. Be nice to get Bader a few days off as well. Groin injuries can be tough and linger.
  8. High heat
    I hope Olivar is working on catching a ton on off days. I’m not sure he is a major leaguer if he can’t catch. Im actually not sure any of these three are major leaguers. Scary considering both Jeffers and Vasquez will be gone by 2027 and could both be gone by next yr. (Jeffers has one more season of arb and will likely be very expensive, with current owner ship still in place could see Jeffers traded) I think Camargo is a major league back up catcher right now. Not sure if his bat will get good enough to be anything more. If Olivar could be solid defensively and continue to develop hitting you might have something by mid season 2026.
  9. High heat
    What are Richard’s Olivar weaknesses and issues behind the plate? Why doesn’t he get more games catching? If it’s issues that can’t be fixed or improved to big league standard why not move him and let him work permanently in the OF?
  10. High heat
    Well the twins do have room now and long term on the bench for McCusker. You have Lewis and Castro back, if you get Correa back shortly Bride doesn’t offer much to the big club. A RH bat who can spell Wallner and Larnach long term and cover DH is a needed and usable spot.
  11. High heat
    Got another win with a St Paul Saints line up. Lets hope we don’t loss Castro now as well.
  12. High heat
    Bader out, Buxton and Correa miss time, you almost have to call up E Rod just for the defense and someone capable to play CF, unless your going shopping in the DFA bin again.
  13. High heat
    Wow what a big win and a chance to sweep the home series. Big throw from Vazquez with another great pitching performance. Maybe we can get back into this thing and have something to watch and play for into September.
  14. High heat
    Nope I’m not sure he would be any good or usable at 1B. But if he was he would be much more usable and a clear path to the majors in the future. Twins have a lot of corner outfield but nothing at 1B that was my suggestion for moving to 1B
  15. High heat
    Position versatility. Doesnt play a good COF, the Twins have no 1B of the future ( immediate of long term) if Ty France goes down right now your looking at a lot of Mickey Gasper. Just believe if McCusker figured something out and the bat is real 1B is his best option to be a solid contributor short and long term.
  16. High heat
    No there is not, the closes thing is probably Jair Camargo. Carson McCusker is there best hitter but is 28 and an Indy ball signing. He should be playing first base though.
  17. High heat
    Jeffers lack of back speed was evident yesterday. He hit that hanging breaking ball well (double) and on every other year would have been 5 rows deep instead it should have been an out. Vazquez is passed being cooked. Camargo should get a run in the big leagues and replace him. Atleast Camargo will run into one once in a while for a HR. He will absolutely hit better then .100 with zero power.
  18. High heat
    I haven’t looked to closely but has McCusker played any 1B this yr for the Saints?
  19. High heat
    Probably should start calling on some trade partners. Larnach, Ryan, Ober, Lewis, Castro, Bader, France. Jax, Duran, Alcala all should be assasing trade value. That 1.7 Billion they are asking for the team value might be dropping real quick!!!
  20. High heat
    They could have used Michael Helman right now! And moved Canterino to the 60 day DL instead of selling Helman at the time.
  21. High heat
    Boy this new approach for Larnach looks terrible! No power and just slapping balls the other way. Does he think he is Joe Mauer now? Wallner takes big cuts atleast before he gets to 2 strikes and the he appears to adopt that philosophy. Im not sure Keachell or ERod will be ready before June and usually rookies struggle early. At this pace we might be out of it by June tho. I would really like to see Camargo get a shot behind the plate. The Vazquez at bats have gone on to long.
  22. High heat
    Let’s face it there isn’t a huge difference between a 85 win team and a 90 loss team but a few injuries and bounces here or there. This team looks lifeless and defeated at the first single of adversity. The bullpen isn’t as good as it was advertised and neither is the rotation and the hitters look as advertised ( not that good) Sell the assets and the team and here comes a 5+ yr rebuild.
  23. High heat
    Well Festa started opening day for the saints and didn’t give up any runs. Not a bad start to the season.
  24. High heat
    Probably a prisoner of the ST game Gasper had today (the few that have been available on TV). but does Gasper have a chance to be the last guy in the bench? Spell France at 1B and allow you to pinch hit Gasper for Vazquez late in game and Gasper can finish behind the plate. He would be at an interesting chest piece.
  25. High heat
    In the Monday 2 inning game Wallner hit a long foul ball and then a ball deep to the wall in RF for an out. And Lewis hit a laser to LF for a HR. Better to hit in ST than not.
