    Projecting the 2045 Minnesota Twins lineup coming soon...
  2. SF Twins Fan
    The Twins basically went scorched earth at the trade deadline. With Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez only being under team control for 2 years, Jeffers for 1, they might as well finish the job. And if those three players get moved then they need to trade Buxton as well. He’s probably at peak value right now based on how he performed this past season. Add in the fact that the 2027 season might be washed out by a strike the front office should go young and aim for quality over quantity.

    I would like for the Twins to make all of these moves but especially a move to trade with the Mets top prospects. They have either already made it to the MLB or are in AA or AAA. Getting Max Clark would also be very interesting! I don't think I'd put him directly into the MLB lineup but he'd likely be in AAA and could be ready by midseason.
  4. SF Twins Fan
    I don’t understand signing two veteran position players but then trading away your two best pitchers and signing no bullpen help. Are you hoping to win games 10 - 9?
  5. SF Twins Fan
    I think you can get by with Lee for one more year. I think the hope is that Culpepper is pushing for playing time on the MLB roster by the 2nd half of next season.
  6. SF Twins Fan
    It all depends on the full picture of the offseason. If this is the main move the front office makes then they might as well do nothing and just tank. But if this signing is part of multiple similar moves then that would be fine. They need two bullpen pitchers, a 1st basemen, and a backup catcher.
  7. SF Twins Fan
    What if Lee shifts over and becomes the 1B when Culpepper comes up? If he does continue to improve as a hitter, he's only had 700 PA's in the MLB, he could be a solid 1B. He's got good hands and overall good instincts.
  8. SF Twins Fan
    I think it's far more likely a player like Fedko makes the team and platoons with Clemens than promoting Mendez straight from AA. Also, I can't see the Twins not adding him to the 40 man this offseason. They're going to risk losing a player they just traded for, for basically nothing.
  9. SF Twins Fan
    What's BS about it? The team fell well short of expectations the past two seasons and only made the playoffs once in the past five years?
  10. SF Twins Fan
    This was the correct move. Hopefully the next manager doesn't currently work for the Twins or their minor league affiliates.
  11. SF Twins Fan
    What I don't understand is, why is it taking so long to announce the two minority buyers? I believe it was early August, when the Poohlands announced they weren't going to sell and the minority owners would be announced in a few weeks. Well it's now been a month and a half and no information. Have they not been approved by the MLB? Have the backed out?
  12. SF Twins Fan
    If the Twins are going to trade a pitcher like Joe Ryan, they need to get a high-quality pitching prospect back for him that has had at least some experience and success at AA but preferably AAA. Someone like a Jaxon Wiggins from the Cubs. I don't have a lot of faith in Matthews, Festa, Abel, and or Bradley. The next set of pitchers in Rojas, Prielipp, Hill, and Soto are years away from having success at the major league level. I'd also want to target another high-quality athletic position player that has had success at either AA or AAA. Then I'd also want a lower-level flyer. Likely another pitcher that's in A ball.
  13. SF Twins Fan
    The Twins prospect pool is considered good because it's a deep pool and not because they have top end talent. So, yea they HAVE prospects, but other than Jenkins they don't have a ton of top end talent. The Twins should really be targeting quality over quantity as return in a Joe Ryan trade.
  14. SF Twins Fan
    I can't stand the Pohlad's and them not selling the team was a complete slap in the face but I feel like the article is severely lacking in context... How does this compare across the MLB?
  15. SF Twins Fan
    Signing Sonny Gray to a long-term contract wouldn't have helped the Twins last year or this year. Their main issue is not being able to hit the ball consistently and just taking poor at bats to begin with. As stated above, not signing Gray wasn't the issue. It was not signing him and then not using the freed-up money to spend elsewhere on the team. Before the trade deadline, this team desperately needed it's lineup overhauled.
  16. SF Twins Fan
    I can see Martin starting the season on the MLB roster, hopefully not as a starter, but as a 12 or 13th man on the roster. However, by mid-season I expect some of the other prospects to pass him by. I think Jenkins will start the season with the Twins and assuming health, Buxton will be in center field. Roden has hit at every level he's played at except MLB and I think he'll eventually figure it out. Add in Fedko, Gonzalez, and Rodriguez, all of whom I think will be better than Martin, and I think Martin will find limited playing time by the all-star break. Other than 1st base I think the infield is pretty well set going into next season. At least with players the front office will want to play to determine keeping them or not. Keaschall, Lee, and Lewis will be given every opportunity to hold down their positions. Culpepper could be added into the mix by midseason as well. The Twins desperately need a legit 1st baseman.
  17. SF Twins Fan
    Either him or Eeles.
  18. SF Twins Fan
    He just consistently makes poor decisions.
  19. SF Twins Fan
    A bit off topic, but does anyone know if the minor leagues are under the same CBA as the MLB? If the MLB locks out in 2027, will the minors also be locked out? I'm wondering because could that effect how some of these prospects are brought up? Would prospects start to get bunched up at AA and AAA if some of the younger players with options get pushed back down to AAA to keep them ready for when 2027 eventually starts?

    There have been a few articles that Manfred and prospective buyers were completely caught off guard by the Pohlad's decision to not sell full ownership. It sounds like the prospective buyers were lining up financing when the Pohlad's decided to only sell a portion of the team. They very well could be gearing up to sell once the new CBA is in place, but from the beginning it was rumored the Joe Pohlad wanted to be part of the new ownership group or at least run things. I'd be surprised if they're actually going to sell the team at this point. They were able to sell a small portion of the team for a strong price, payoff all or most of their debt, and still retain control of the team. By clearing their profits and reducing payroll, they should be able to make even more profit than they have been.
  22. SF Twins Fan
    I don't think I expect year over year payroll to rise but if the Wilfs are involved I would expect both the business side and personnel side to be run better. And I'd think changes would be made, maybe not overnight because they'll want to get in and see how things are going before making suggestions. But they run a very good organization in the Vikings.
  23. SF Twins Fan
    It will be very interesting to find out who the two minority groups are and what percentage of the team they will own. Personally, I'm hoping the Wilfs are one of the groups and maybe the Davis family. I'm hoping each owns at least 20%, so they have a bit more say in how both the business side and team operate.
  24. SF Twins Fan
    Why would you want to bring in veterans that will potentially block prospects, many of which are at AA or AAA?
  25. SF Twins Fan
    Competing next season will be heavily reliant current prosects and having 2 or 3 free agent signings hit. Assuming Lopez and Ryan aren't traded the rotation of Lopez, Ryan, Ober, Matthews and Able should be pretty strong. A bullpen of Sands, Topa, Ohl, SWR, Raya, Hatch, Adams and a free agent signing could be the makings of an average bullpen. C: Jeffers 1st: Naylor 2nd: Keaschall 3rd: Lewis SS: Lee LF: Roden CF: Buxton RF: Wallner DH: Rotating cast Bench: Martin, Clemens, FA C signing, Outman, and Eeles. By June Twins add Jenkins, Cullpepper, and Rodriguez to the MLB lineup. Jenkins pushes Wallner to DH, Cullpepper pushes Lee to the bench as an infield utility, and Rodriguez pushes either Martin or Outman off the team and becomes the outfield utility player, that can keep the other outfielders fresh. Gonzalez and Fedko are potentially right behind those first three callups.
