During this slog of a season, Kody Clemens has been the difference for several games we won. No reason not to keep him heading into 2026 as AAAA depth at the very least.
That might give the Twins an extra 2-3 wins, but probably not worth the potential disruption he causes by continuing to be on this losing team. He's been pretty clear since the ASG about welcoming a trade out of here.
Concur. I think Lopez is better prepared mentally to lead a team after it bottoms out. Joe doesn't give the impression of wanting to be a leader. He wants to contribute on good teams.
I know this has been hashed to death so far... My prediction is Joe Ryan traded and Pablo Lopez stays to lead us out of the depths of hell we're currently in.
