They can't call him up to replace a position player it has to be an injury to a pitcher. Plus it would put them at 14 pitchers when the limit is 13.

Jeffers off the IL. Jackson 100% gets claimed in he is DFA'd. If they're going to trade Jeffers by the deadline you have to keep Jackson. With the positional flexibility right now they can roll with 3 catchers. As far as Wallner goes I think it might be best to trade him for an A ball lottery ticket. He likely has almost no value, even with the bomba blast potential he shows. If he isn't traded then he sits in AAA. And I am a guy who likes him. Get Culpepper and Jenkins up before considering Wallner again.

I've noticed this year that these assignment/opt out clauses have not always led to being added to the 26 man, just the 40 man.

RHP Woo-Suk Go acquired from DET for cash considerations. Was not on their 40 man but he has an assignment clause and will be needed to be added to the Twins 40 man.

My guy Meat Loaf is smiling down from Heaven. 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Never a doubt!

It is not per twinsbaseball.com.

I don't think my nerves can handle this much longer.

Hot, Real Hot, Damn hot!

RING THE DAMN BELL!!!!!

Bowman and Alcala are there too.

I'd send Fedko out no question. I don't know that they will carry 3 catchers though.

He will get claimed no question.

Umps having sympathy for a Yankee. Color me shocked!

Are we sure this kid pitching has never been in MLB before? The Twins usually can't do anything against rookie pitchers, especially in NYC.

I will not feel safe with a lead until it is 25-0.

There have been some great moments where pitchers have hit a HR, but Rick Camp going yard is probably my second favorite of all time. with Bartolo Colon being at the top. I mean a light hitting pitcher that no one, even their own announcers, thought was possible happened in the 18th inning to tie the game. Baseball is the best.

If an injured player is not going to play in the ASG they no longer go to it.

You can't spell Twins without WIN!

We've had some discussions here about roster limitations, and the MLBPA has proposed a bunch of ideas and I think they all make sense. This is from their official release: MLBPA Makes Transaction Proposals to Benefit All Players and Build Upon Industry Momentum NEW YORK, July 1 -- The Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) today made a series of proposals under the umbrella of transactions, rosters and access to data as part of the ongoing collective bargaining negotiations with Major League Baseball. The current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires in December. Today’s proposals are designed to improve the game, protect players’ health and safety, strengthen the free market and provide meaningful support to our full fraternity. Among the key components proposed by the MLBPA: · Expanding MLB active rosters from 26 to 28 (14 pitcher maximum) for the first 15 days of the championship season-designed to protect players health and safety in the lead up to and just after Opening Day, and provide additional Major League job opportunities for players coming out of Spring Training · Allow for placement of players on the 60-day IL as early as the November Tender Deadline- designed to open additional 40-man roster spots for Clubs to utilize in their offseason particularly to replace players with known and lengthier injury recovery timelines · Reduce the number of permissible in-season optional assignment per player from five to three-designed to combat roster churn and promote full-time jobs at the MLB level throughout the year · Accelerate eligibility for the Rule 5 Draft and ensure a Rule 5 Draft will be held in 2026 and each year of the next CBA · Provide MLB service time and salary protections for all players in September, and for pitchers who are optioned to the Minors over the All-Star break and/or immediately after a game where they met certain performance thresholds-designed to reduce roster manipulation and protect players (often middle relievers and spot sstarters) who are optioned but expected to 'stay hot' · Enable all players to access Club-collected non-proprietary performance data and video-designed to increase transparency and allow players to track their work with the same information management is using ### Contact: Silvia Alvarez, MLBPA, 646-285-1819

That trade was a bunch of Hoey.

He's Outman 2.0. Absolute waste of a roster pot as we don't need a PR/DEF replacement. We need guys getting AB to see if they're part of the future.

Randy Dobnak called up by KC.

Yes they want to stretch him out. They made a mistake not doing it before activating him off the IL.
