    He's a no doubt cut. Use his money, Ober money, and more money for a 1B upgrade. 1B upgrade could be a free agent or a salary dump when teams need to lower payroll for the proposed new salary cap.

    K% difference is one per game. Can't wait to see who wins tonight with the highest K%. 3.02 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 27.3% K, 12.6% BB, 3.92 FIP, 59 2/3 IP (19 G, 18 GS) 4.74 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 30.6% K, 13.4% BB, 4.94 FIP, 81 2/3 IP (23 GS, 23 G) Joke - unless ERA, WHIP, BB%, and FIP are not important.

    ludicrous stat: 3.02 ERA over two leagues vs. 4.74 Quick pitched 22 more innings. Bohorquez would have to give up 23 earned runs over 22 innings to have the same ERA and innings as Quick.

    What did Adrian Bohorquez do to you for him not to win this award? It's not even close.

    Larnach is long gone

    Delusional owner, GM, and fans for thinking 2026 was a year to buy assets instead of selling. Lopez and Abel were out. Ryan had arm issues. Buxton was limping. Prielipp and Rojas are innings limited. Below 500. Yea - this seems like a good year to make a run for the last wild card.
  27. SarasotaBill
    Delusional owner and in-experienced GM is not a good combination. Twins are a below 500 team and should have traded their expiring assets (Jeffers, Larnach, ...). The reality is that there will be a CBA lockout next year. So Twins are compounding their mistakes this year into next year.
  28. SarasotaBill
    The 2027 CBA lockout is a critical omission.
  29. SarasotaBill
    With Buxton limping, Ryan's arm dragging, Lopez/Abel out, Prielropp and Rojas on limited pitches, and some wanted to give up prospects (assets) to "try" to make the playoffs. Make no mistake about it - these moves were based on the owner trying to drive up the sale price after the CBA is signed. He doesn't care about 3 or 4 years from or even 2 years from now.

    Reyes ranked 12th among Minnesota prospects at Baseball America and 10th in the system according to Eric Longenhagen and James Fegan of FanGraphs. MLB Pipeline has slotted him 20th among O’s farmhands after the trade. He’s a left-handed hitting outfielder with a 6’3″ frame that leads to significant raw power projection. Reyes signed out of the Dominican Republic during the 2025 international period and has spent most of his time in the Florida Complex League, where he was hitting .275 with seven home runs. The Twins just promoted the 18-year-old to Low-A last week. He’s years away from the majors but has a chance to develop into a power-hitting right fielder. There’s a fair amount of risk with this profile given the likelihood he ends up in a corner and concern about how often he swings and misses. There’s substantial upside as well, though, with the FanGraphs report noting that Reyes has the kind of profile that would likely have seen him taken at the back of the first round if he were a domestic high school draftee. That’s a strong get for a fifth starter. What's worse: impatient fans, ego owner, or an inexperienced GM?

    Ask yourself why have the Twins have made two trades in the past few days and no one else has done so. Twins are overpaying. Minter's cost was Amick (low average & contact) and a lottery ticket. Overpay for Minter but minimal trade cost. Reyes had a .950 ops (comparison Emma had .870) in Rookie League. Twins typically don't move 18 year olds up to A. Jenkins is the only other one that I know before doing so this year with Reyes. This move is a "I want to watch the Twins shoot for the playoffs this year" vs trying to set up the team for a world series run starting next year.
  32. SarasotaBill
    This is the desperate move of a owner wanting to be liked by the fans and an inexperienced GM getting fleeced. The Orioles are in the same boat as the Twins, they know the most about their starting pitcher and they traded him. Reyes is a top ten Twins prospect. Most don't include the rookie league in their rankings. Think of him as a late first round high school player. Reminds me of the Jake Cave - Luis Gil trade. Kremer at 7 million next year is a two month rental player. At the end of the season the Twins front office will be like the guy at the office party who drinks too much and has to see everyone the next day. Total regret. Next possible stupid move would be bringing up Jenkins and Culpepper so they can sit out during the lockout next year and use up one year of team control. The focus shouldn't be about 2026. It's about 2027 to 2032.

    The new CBA will have term limits if the owners get their way. If the owners get their way then the team salary floor will be $170 million. No one can predict what will happen with the new CBA but that will be the best time to try to resign Ryan. The injury possibility is a concern so if you can get an elite arm then do it now but if not then wait for the new CBA.
  34. SarasotaBill
    You need at least two elite starting pitchers in the playoffs. Unless you trade Ryan for a Kade Anderson (elite pitching prospect) it doesn't make sense to trade him before the CBA contract is done. If the Twins can't extend him after the new CBA is finalized then trade him then.
  35. SarasotaBill
    If the Twins follow this strategy then they’re shooting themselves in the foot. There 8 teams chasing the last two wildcard slots. With the CBA expiring after this season and their top prospects coming up the next two years it would be stupid to be buyers this year. Sell your surplus (Larnach and Bell) and your pending free agent (Jeffers).
