    Joe Ryan for sure does. Wasn’t Vazquez basically his personal catcher?
  2. Vanimal46
    Joe’s middle name is my guess
  3. Vanimal46
    If he wants to be a key reason why a team wins a championship he needs to get out of here ASAP. But money talks, as we see all the time in other sports. Myles Garrett wrote many paragraphs requesting a trade from the Cleveland Browns because he can’t see winning a Super Bowl with them. But he was offered $40 million a year and weird! Now he thinks he can be a key piece to a championship team in Cleveland. I don’t envision the Twins offering Joe a 6/$180 million deal to make amends with him
  4. Vanimal46
    Absolutely. I truly believe he was hoping to get traded at the deadline. And I believe he’s going to request a trade in the offseason.
  5. Vanimal46
    Agreed. We will find out if he ends up in the low or high 3s. Things aren’t trending well for him lately
  6. Vanimal46
    He is the complete opposite of Brian Dozier. Dozier was ice cold until June then he would go on a tear for 3 months.
  7. Vanimal46
    The inevitable 2nd half decline is happening for Joe
  8. Vanimal46
    I read Jacobi Myers wants out in Las Vegas. I’d prefer him over Thielen if the cost is close
  9. Vanimal46
    2 weeks until opening day. Time is running out to get another WR in the building and up to speed on the offense. Our WR room looks really weak with Addison suspended and Nailor evidently has his hand in a cast.

    Per Hayes: José Urena cleared waivers and elected free agency. #MNTwins
  11. Vanimal46
    I wouldn’t do it for Keaschall until we know where he’s going to end up in the field. His valuation is wildly different if he ends up at 1B vs 2B vs corner OF. Jenkins on the other hand has the pedigree and good odds of sticking at a premium position in CF. I will take the risk on that one.

    You can argue that Baltimore is following our path… 101 wins in 2023, 91 wins in 2024, to now what appears to be an 85+ loss season. All because their ownership pulled back on spending and their FO thought they were the smartest guys in the room.
  13. Vanimal46
    Life moves quickly in baseball. 2 years ago Adley was the top prospect in all of baseball. If anyone called for him Baltimore would have laughed and hung up the phone.
  14. Vanimal46
    For all intents and purposes they were open to trading Ryan at the deadline. They didn’t get the value they wanted from Boston. In the offseason it opens up the opportunity of more teams getting involved and creating a bidding war. I don’t think Falvey wants to trade Ryan, but Joe may force their hand by requesting a trade. Unless we throw a boat load of cash at him, the chances of getting an extension done is near 0%.
  15. Vanimal46
    Ya think? We can probably count on one hand of all sports organizations who want the same FO and Manager leading a full rebuild after missing the playoffs 4 out of 5 years. Would it surprise anyone if Dave St Peter is brought back to run the business side of the Twins now that the for sale sign is taken off the lawn? Derek Falvey cannot continue running the baseball side.

    Thank you for your consistency Nick. It has to be a challenge to keep writing these weekly recaps when nothing really matters anymore for the rest of 2025 and likely 2026. Also, I saw your Twitter thread about Joe Ryan and fully agree. I put the chances at 90% that Ryan requests a trade out of this mess. The signs have been there since before the trade deadline. The difference in quotes between Buxton and Ryan when questioned by reporters during the all star break about trade speculation is stark.
  17. Vanimal46
    Abel and Bradley’s performances weren’t inspiring, obviously. But at this point I just don’t care. These opportunities aren’t being wasted by 30 something year olds with zero future anymore.
  18. Vanimal46
    The short answer is no. They had so many holes in the lineup before the deadline, and now they created 5 additional holes on the pitching staff. The Pohlads will not spend the money to patch the holes. The longer, complex answer is I don’t want them to compete for anything in 2026. Unless it’s led by Herculean efforts from our internal prospects. Striving for 83 wins the last 5 years is so boring as a fan. I want the Twins to be contenders in the AL one day. Not squeaking by a terrible AL Central division and get spanked by Houston or the Yankees. 2026 should be all about development. Get all of the young pitchers up and figure out who’s a part of the next contending team. Culpepper and Jenkins appear to be getting fast tracked now for an early 2026 debut. Do it! No more 1 year band aid veteran signings.
  19. Vanimal46
    Mickey Gasper wasn’t just an injury replacement. They planned on having him in the big leagues. 0 for 26.
  20. Vanimal46
    Right there with you. I can’t take another offseason of Falvey and Baldelli. He’s going to make this rebuild a 5-10 year process
  21. Vanimal46
    Tough day for Keaschall in the field
  22. Vanimal46
    I don’t know why they would wait in a line that long!
  23. Vanimal46
    It’s possible! There were plenty of horses and buggies in the barn!
  24. Vanimal46
    North Dakota State legend Carson Wentz signed with the Vikings. QB room set with JJ - Wentz - Brosmer
