I think Cody nailed it on the destination for Bader. He’s got experience in the NL East and he’ll have the ability to be a playoff hero again.
The Twins need multiple Bader types on the team. I’d love to re-sign him again in FA this winter.
I’d put it at 95% probability Danny Cool is traded by the deadline. Mets, or the other 15 teams that feel like they’re contenders have it in their budget to trade for him. He’s a guy we could get a surprising return for.
According to mlb dot com, most of their top prospects are in A+ or below. Jackson Ferris looks like a good target being a 22 YO AA left handed and breathing starter.
As Plouffe was saying during the broadcast, he was finally looking at himself in the mirror and questioning how good he actually is. MLB is unrelenting at the top level of competition.
I’ve got zero issue playing Clemens nearly every day over the next few weeks to solve that riddle. We need any offense available here so there are plenty of opportunities for him.
Keeping it positive…
Nice to see Royce Lewis wake up after his comments yesterday. First multi HR game of his career in the regular season.
Wallner hit a blast too but that’s too far in between futility at the plate.
Clemens continuing to make the most out of his opportunities.
June 1 specifically. That was literally his peak here. 11 starts with an ERA barely below 4 at 3.94. We are 5-15 in games he starts. Time to let him go.
