How are Garcia and Bonda even on the roster much less pitching with a lead in the 8th inning. They should both be released and Wallner demoted immediately. I don't even care who you call up. Anyone with a future is better than this.
It's time to call up Rodriguez and Culpepper and demote Wallner and Outman. Move Keashall to 1st and Lee to 2nd. That improves the defense at SS and 2B and maybe even at 1st.
Also make Martin the everyday LF and leadoff hitter. Move Buxton to 5th or 6th.
Rodriguez plays RF every day. Larnach and Bell platoon DH with Bell still maybe playing 1B and Larnach LF once per week.
Every player on the roster who isn't likely to help us in 2027 should be moved out. Those with trade value can stay until July. Guys like Outman, Gray, Kriedler etc. should be sent down immediately.
Yes, but that is likely coming via how the local games are distributed. I expect it to be all via ESPN/Amazon/Netflix etc. in 3-4 years. I suppose the Yankees and Dodgers will fight it, so yes that's part of the CBA fight too.
New revenue/ownership that allows the Twins to return payrolls to the $150-$160 million range and a new CBA that makes teams in that range competitive and ends $450 million payrolls at the top.
