  1. Those first two innings were nuts! This is a fun team to watch right now and should get more exciting as Prielipp, Festa, Matthews, Culpepper, Emma and possibly GG/Jenkins join the big squad.
  2. +1 on the Royals and +4.5 on the Blood Sox. Just gotta make it to the playoffs and see what happens. I always like to believe that its a 50/50 shot to win those whether you're the top playoff team or the bottom. This team can be streaky but it needs some playoff experience (and $$) for the future.
  3. Tough loss. Ice cold offense. Burnt bullpen. But man are we spoiled with a healthy starting staff next year. Lopez, Ober, Ryan, SWR, Festa, Matthews and possibly Morris. Let Varland and Paddack do damage in the bullpen with Jax, Duran, Sands, and Alcala(?). Hope for a healthy return of Topa/Stewart and see what Winder has in him the rest of the year. Just need that coveted lefty. Also saying this, praying that ownership doesn't slash payroll to Pirate's standards.
  4. No one but the front office knows what feelings they have towards AK right now. I can see a scenario where they are writting him off this year, keeping that option year open, and giving him one last shot next season. Thats only if they are not truly bugged out by his hidden injury and he wants to be here. AK has played 4 big league seasons under 90 games while a decent junk of those have been playing through injuries. He's talented and a gamer. There's still a chance he can provide value to a playoff caliber team. Age 26 - .248 BA / .309 OBP / .721 OPS
  5. It has been proven in spades? Thats just based on your opinion which is leaving meat on the bone. Assuming you're just referring to the Twins not being better in 2024. Subtracting Polanco for a youth movement of Julien, Lee, Martin, and giving more chances to Castro has helped quite a bit. The money saved from his contract and an extra roster spot offensively is what brought in Santana which has been a really good investment given his defense, offense and experience.
  6. Almost every prospect struggles. Im not saying they are locked in MLB caliber players. Just that they have potential to be, more so Gonzalez though.
  7. We saved cap space to sign Santana, 2 more years of Topa, and 2 young prospects with potential (more so for Gonzalez, but Bowen may be a solid RP)
  8. They have 2 two more years of control after this season.
  9. Ryan's injury sucks eggs but now is the time to have faith in the pitching pipeline. Time to see what we really have in SWR, Festa, Varland, and Zebby come late September/October. Clinching the division or winning a playoff series would be a huge boost for next season.
  10. Imagine breaking into Wallner's house and he's just standing there with a bat.
  11. I've been wondering (hoping) if Josh Winder would go down the Griffin Jax route, can't say i ever considered it would be Cole Sands. Happy to see him succeeding in a bullpen role!
  12. The point was that the Tigers/White Sox wanted one of our top 3 prospects for a 2 month rental. Also, I said I doubt the Tigers would allow the Twins to match the Dodgers offer. If the Twins and Dodgers offered the same exact value of a trade, why would they accept ours? Thats where the in-division tax comes into play.
  13. Why would you want your division rival to go deep into the playoffs, make $$ Millions, and then have bragging rights. Thats really not hard to comprehend. You ever heard about in-division tax? Thats been coined for a reason.
  14. If you have the Athletic, then Dan Hayes was the first to mention that. It's also an in division trade and I doubt the Tigers would allow the Twins to match their offer. If the Yankees would have won that trade then there's a possibility we could have traded for Nestor Cortes. Maybe Flaherty's medical scared some people off.
