    Such an odd article that is pure speculation.... Obviously, they know more about their players health than the general public but that doesn't mean there are any serious health issues. They traded Arraez to Miami because he doesn't have a defensive position, he has bad knees / legs, he was at peak value, and they have several options of prospects coming up through the minors who appear to be better overall players. Kiriloff if he can stay health is a much more prototypical 1st baseman. Taller, more athletic, heft handed and hits for more power. Add in Edouard Julien, Brooks Lee and Royce Lewis and the infield is becoming crowded.

    Zero reason to give up on him as a starter. Give him at least half the season to show what he can do and if he's still not producing moving him to the bullpen in July and see if he could be a September call up.
  3. SF Twins Fan
    Right off the scrap heap.

    At this point I'd rather the Twins just play the rookies this season and get them experience. The Twins have a solid starting pitching staff with Mahle, Gray, Ryan, Ober, Winder, Maeda and Paddock at some point and a much deeper bullpen than they did at the start of last season. If it goes downhill trade off the aging vets: Gray, Maeda, Pagan, Polanco and Kepler. By the end of the season the position players should be as follows: 1st: Arraez or Kiriloff 2nd: Edouard Julien 3rd: Miranda / Lee SS: Lewis Left: Larnach / Gordon Center: Buxton / Gordon Right: Kiriloff / Wallner DH: Arraez / Miranda There will be injuries and ineffectiveness, but playing the rookies should give the front office an idea of where the roster is moving forward.

    ha ha. The front office is just grasping at straws now.

    I'm bummed there won't be any baby blues going forward but I like all of the tops. I don't love the stripe down the side of the grey pinstripes and like a lot of people the M hats are terrible. They look exactly like the Miami M hats.

    No. The Twins don't need more over the hill redemption tour players. Spend the money on legit free agents or make trades for good players. They have plenty of 3-5 starting pitchers and need an ace. They have plenty of outfielders they need to try and give at bats to. Buxton, Kepler, Larnach, Kiriloff (Maybe), Gordon, Walner and Celestino. Plus they might have guys like Austin Martin and Royce Lewis part way through the year. If the Twins sign a legit SS this offseason both Martin and Lewis become outfielders or tradable assets. Unless they're going to spend the money on legit upgrades for the outfield don't waste money on never has beens.

    Just more bargain hunting by the Twins. I wouldn't call a career OPS of .839 mashing when it's such a small sample size. He'll be 31 by the time the season starts and only has 186 plate appearances versus lefties.

    Go get Sean Murphy! Jeffers has only ever shown flashes of being good in the MLB but nothing sustained.
  10. SF Twins Fan
    I love baseball and love going to games but I can honestly say I haven't been to a Twins game since 2019 and I'm glad I haven't wasted my money on the garbage Falvine has put out onto the field.

    I know this comment doesn’t belong in this forum but my god have ads absolutely ruined this website. There are so many pop ups and and videos that play every time you scroll down. I have to exit some new ad 10 times just trying to read an article.

    Not winning a playoff game in how many years? Being awful last season. Twins aren't on TV for me (youtube.tv) so I just forget about them. I can see the Twins easily falling out of the playoff race once they start facing teams that are actually good.
  13. SF Twins Fan
    Barf....that is all.

    He played his last game on September 21. The Angels were 6.5 games out of the playoffs with 5ish games left to play. From what I read he cleared out his locker and texted the coaching staff and then just left and gave the pandemic as the reason. I get these are strange times but if you're nervous about the pandemic why not opt out at the beginning of the season? What has changed his mind now a few months later when the US is actually in a worse spot than it was in September? To me, he realized the Angels weren't going to make the playoffs and decided to pack up and leave.
  15. SF Twins Fan
    Hopefully he doesn't quit on the Twins like he did the Angels last year once their chance of reaching the playoffs was basically zero.

    How did the top relief pitchers from 2016, 2017 and 2019 do? Just because there was 1 season where the top relief pitchers signed didn't do well doesn't mean you shouldn't try to bolster the bullpen. I'm not saying the Twins should sign any of these relief pitchers to long term deals and I doubt any of them will get deals longer than 3 years. But going into next year hoping Rogers rebounds and then just bringing up a bunch of young guys it's likely to be a recipe for success.

    The Falvine offseason bullpen signings could be described in two words...dumpster diving.... It'd be nice to see the Twins sign one of the top 5-6 relievers listed above.
  18. SF Twins Fan
    Let's not spare $7.5M and sign some players who are actually good. There is no reason to go into the season that far below a budget. The Twins are in the contending years, so lets not waste it on signing players like Robbie Ray and Jonathan Schoop. Additionally, the Twins bullpen needs at least one major upgrade as you can't rely on a Rogers turnaround.
  19. SF Twins Fan
    Supposedly Cleveland isn't picking up Brad Hand's $10M option. I'd love to see the Twins go after him.

    I really didn't want the Dodgers to win, but I was so happy the "analytical" move blew up in the Rays face. There was absolutely zero reason to take Snell out of the game at that point. He was cruising at 73 pitches with 9 strikeouts and only 2 hits. The next three batters due up were 0-6 with 6 strikeouts. Mookie Betts numbers against right handers pitchers was SIGNIFICANTLY better than it was against lefties. Additionally, Nick Anderson had a brutal postseason having given up at least 1 run in 6 straight games entering play last night. Overall it was a terrible decision by Kevin Cash and one that deserves a better explanation than, "I didn't want Snell to pitch against those guys a third time."

    Letting Rosario and Romo go is the right move as the Twins have players who can fill in those roles. I'd be fine with the Twins bringing back Cruz on a one year deal or a two year deal if the second one is based on plate appearances. If he wants two full years then I think the Twins have to move on. If it's true Bauer wants to bet on himself by signing 1 year deals going forward then why not go after him? A starting rotation of Bauer, Maeda, Berrios, Pineda and whoever is as good of a starting rotation as the Twins have ever had. The Twins need to find a more consistent bench than what they had this season and it would be nice if whoever they go after has more speed. The Twins are currently one of the slowest teams in the MLB. It be nice to bring someone off the bench late in a game that could steal a base. Does Blankenhorn and Gordon fill those roles?

    I don't understand why Avila is on the roster. There is zero reason to carry 4 catchers for a 3 game series even if Tortuga is mainly going to be used at other positions. Both Garver and Jeffers are solid behind the plate and infinitely better than Avila batting. Alcala deserves to be on the playoff roster.
  23. SF Twins Fan
    There is reason to leave him off. Then Rocco can't make a stupid decision to use him once again in a key situation like he did last night.
  24. SF Twins Fan
    Can we leave Rogers off the playoff list? He doesn't deserve to be there. Put Hill and Thielbar as the left handers out of the bullpen.
  25. SF Twins Fan
    Why does Rocco keep pitching Rogers in high leverage situations? A few of the Detroit players are switch hitters and per Dick during the telecast are better from the right side. I'm starting to get very frustrated with Rocco and his poor bullpen decisions.
