  1. He has had his flaws and mistakes, just like every GM in sports history. But I liked what he did prior to the 2025 season. I thought he assembled a pretty respectable pitching staff during his time. But I believe he deserves a little leeway with how the payroll was handled by ownership. Ownership slashing payroll after that playoff win put him in an incredibly difficult spot after paying Correa and Pablo.
  2. I was a big Favlvey supporter, but him getting rid of King Varland was a mistake. Maybe the return will be good in the long run but you need a guy like him in your bullpen to shut things down. At some point we just need to throw Festa, Matthews, Rojas, Klein, SWR/Prielipp (Maybe) into the bullpen and just ride it out. I like Sands and Orze, Morris could be solid in a 1-2 inning role, but we need real bodies in there and maybe we could get something cooking late in the year and have some real fun next season.
  3. In his defense he is currently one of the unluckiest hitters in the MLB right now with a BABIP of .234, while his average and most of the league is around. 290-310. Which also explains his gap of .211 BA and an expected BA of .255. Its not great but hes due positive regression. Hes a solid backup catcher/first basement
  4. 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.
  5. +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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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)
  11. They have 2 two more years of control after this season.
  12. 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.
  13. Imagine breaking into Wallner's house and he's just standing there with a bat.
