    Bader is pressing so badly right now

    It’s probably one of those movies that should never have a remake but I heard the cameos are pretty good in the movie.

    Hoping that the Twins open the flood gates here so I can switch over to that

    Happy Gilmore 2 was released today on Netflix

    Very nice start Mr Matthews

    He was pitching like Charlie Sheen pre-glasses

    EVERYONE WAKE UP WE SCORED A RUN!

    Jeeze, Gore is channeling his inner wild thing in this PA against Lee

    Dalton Rushing, Drake Baldwin, Harry Ford

    We may have to push Culpepper and Jenkins for 2026 at some point. Otherwise we’re truly going to waste this strong pitching staff. Lopez, Ober, Ryan all set for FA in 2027. As well as Duran, Jax, and Topa.

    There needs to be a study done on this team crawling into a hole against any left handed and breathing pitcher

    They’re the best by far out of the refreshed jerseys. Followed by the gray pinstripes away. The red Twins lettering home jerseys are boring, then getting hit by a bus. And dead last the horrible City Connect jerseys

    Nice. Heard Rocco say on Sirius/XM radio earlier this week they wanted to do a mechanical adjustment with Ober for another start (tonight) since he’s on a rehab assignment anyway. Sounds like he might be back on the menu very soon for the big league club.

    Current tally today is 9 calls. Only 1 left a voicemail trying to sell auto insurance

    The players coming back would have to be ready to go for us opening day 2026. Trading for guys who are 2 or more years away will be a disservice to the dozen players we have with an expiring contract in 2027

    My phone number and info must have been sold by data brokers recently. I’ve received 7 spam calls today alone. I had a good 2 weeks without any spam calls. Anyone else get them in waves?

    The only way I’m trading Duran or Jax in the next week is if they return a young C or 1B who’s already in the majors. Or a C/1B who could be in the majors but they’re blocked - like Joe Ryan in Tampa. Beyond that, I have little to no interest trading either one of them for prospects who have an ETA of 2027 and beyond.

    The trade package on our side would include more than just Larnach for him, agreed. My rough draft would be Jax and Larnach for Baldwin.

    Twins record against LH pitching this year is 6-12. We are 1-9 in the last 10 games against LH starters. I think I know how to vote on this poll.
  20. Vanimal46
    I could see both Miranda and Julien flipped in the offseason for international bonus money. We’re not gonna receive anything more than a very flawed prospect back in return.
  21. Vanimal46
    Seattle as well has Harry Ford who will be blocked for the foreseeable future by Big Dumper. Seattle always needs bats. There are opportunities out there… My priorities align with yours. I’m targeting C who have already debuted in MLB or could immediately be added to the 26 man roster if they’re blocked by someone else. I have little to no interest trading players with control beyond this year for A+ ball or lower talent.
  22. Vanimal46
    Another example team I thought of is Atlanta. They’re having a more disappointing season than us, but they’re too heavily invested in their core to give up on 2026. They’re struggling big time to find an answer in LF (Verdugo, Kelenic, Eli White all struggling, Profar suspended). They have a young C in Drake Baldwin that’s doing well in his first 71 MLB games, and blocked by Sean Murphy who’s signed through 2028. Maybe we can put a package together where it benefits both teams who want to continue trying to win in 2026?

    Posted this in another thread. I am curious if Larnach can be used as bait to reel in another current MLB player? My example was Pittsburgh who can’t develop a position player to save their lives. So maybe they will be interested in an established player like Larnach in exchange for Henry Davis since he is floundering as a former 1st overall pick.
  24. Vanimal46
    Had this on my mind this morning… We’ve been talking about acquiring prospects in return for our established players… Trading MLB talent for MLB talent is rare, but it would be interesting to find a team with a surplus of MLB bats in exchange for our surplus of MLB arms. So I’m looking through FanGraphs and see C Drake Baldwin for Atlanta. Who will be blocked by Sean Murphy for the foreseeable future. Is there a package we can put together to acquire him? That way Atlanta can reload for another run in 2026 and same with our Twins. Pittsburgh is one of the worst development teams in the league. Can we find a fix for former 1st overall pick Henry Davis? Perhaps in exchange for Larnach or Wallner? Just wanted to throw some ideas out for thought. Maybe I’m crazy.
  25. Vanimal46
    Nor should they settle for present value. Imagine in 2019 the Twins could have acquired two high octane late inning arms to replace guys like Rhyne Harper and Blake Parker for Brusdal Graterol and one of Kirilloff, Wander Javier (#4 org prospect at the time), or Trevor Larnach. Even without hindsight that would have been a slam dunk yes.
