    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.

    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.

    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.

    Why would you want to bring in veterans that will potentially block prospects, many of which are at AA or AAA?

    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.

    The Twins as of right now have the 6th best odds to win the lottery since a few teams are ineligible to pick in the top 10 again this season. It would be really nice to move into the top 2-3 spots.
  9. SF Twins Fan
    I understand he's going to get his chance since they traded for him, but I just don't see Outman working out. His high strikeout rate will never play at the MLB level and pitchers have figured out how to pitch to him. The Twins probably also want to see if Larnach can have a good end of the season, so his value increases.
  10. SF Twins Fan
    DH and left field are probably the two that make the most sense especially with Roden injured for the rest of the season.
  11. SF Twins Fan
    At what point does Eeles get a shot in the Majors? He was great last season and has been playing very. well the past 45 games or so.
  12. SF Twins Fan
    In an article from The Athletic by Dan Hayes and Brittany Ghiroli: The Twins were working with a group to purchase the team 100% and then ripped the rug out from under them by announcing minority owners would be purchasing a portion of the team. Sounds like the minority owners were willing to purchase their portion at a higher eval rate than the group who was looking to purchase full ownership, which is why they went with the minority ownership group. I just hope it's not a couple of equity firms that are the minority owners. Sounds like we will find out in the coming weeks who they are.

    100%. His poor showing this season is 100% driven by his injury and it doesn't make any sense to trade him this offseason because of it. And if the Twins do end up trading Joe Ryan or Pablo Lopez this offseason, it would be even more likely Ober stays in the rotation.
  16. SF Twins Fan
    Yea, SWR is definitely a bullpen candidate since he doesn't have great strikeout numbers. I can see Preilipp moving the to bullpen next season but only in the second half and only if the Twins are in playoff contention (HaHa). Otherwise there is no reason to move him to the bullpen as he's performing well overall in his first full season. I don't know that ERod has much more to prove in AAA other than staying healthy. If he comes back this season, I'd love for him to get a few games with the Twins just to get the experience. I don't see any reason to bring Larnach back next season either, especially after trading for Roden.
  17. SF Twins Fan
    Bradley or Able are much more likely to shift to the bullpen than Ober.
  18. SF Twins Fan
    Also, has Kyler Fedko turned himself into a legit prospect? He struggled last year at AA, but in repeating AA this season has put up very good numbers. He was promoted to AAA a few weeks ago and hasn't skipped a beat.
  19. SF Twins Fan
    I think both should be pushed up to AAA. The Saints have 36 games left in their season, and it would be great to get them roughly 30 this season. They get a taste of AAA and will know what it's like going into next season.
  20. SF Twins Fan
    If Ryan is traded I'd much rather try and complete a trade with the Mets. They have four very good prospects (Two position players and two pitchers) at either AA or AAA. EDIT: Apparently I didn't read far enough as you've already posted this. Ha.
  21. SF Twins Fan
    I wouldn't be surprised if Culpepper and Jenkins end up promoted in the near future either.
  22. SF Twins Fan
    You have to wonder if the season would be different if Keaschall hadn't broken his forearm. The kid just brings energy to the team that they've been lacking.

    According to Dan Hayes, Jax requested the trade after seeing all of the other trades that were made. Twins’ Griffin Jax requested a trade, and what I learned about the club’s fire sale, Part 1 - The Athletic

    https://frontofficesports.com/minnesota-twins-trade-deadline-team-sale/ I’m not sure how credible this news source is but it sounds like a sale in progressing and we could find out more in August. If true it would be a boost to the fans. It would also make sense that they sold so much off at the deadline if the sale is progressing.

    MLB has him at 8. His numbers are solid this year.
