    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).

    Don't get distracted by 2026. All decisions should be based on 2027 and after. Trade Jeffers, Larnach, and Bell. Keep Ryan and try to extend him.

    Jenkins needs to stay at AA until next year. He needs to develop and can't afford to lose a big portion of next season as well.
  25. SarasotaBill
    What ever trade that the Twins do this year should be about 2027 and later. No trades for anything helping for 2026. You need to be selective about non-40 roster call ups in 2026 because of the pending strike/lock-out. Enjoy 2026 for development of your core players. Trade Jeffers, Larnach, and Bell. Try to extend Ryan. Only trade him if he brings back a top 10 prospect in MLB plus more. It has to be a lopsided deal.

    The upcoming MLB -MLPA battle will influence everything. Do the owners cave after listing their demands? Do the players cave because there's more money just not more for the stars? If the owners finally stick to their guns, 2027 will probably be washed away. If the owners eventually win then the minimum team payroll will be over $170 million. 1. Try to extend Ryan. If not, trade him. 2. Try to resign Jeffers. If not, trade him. 3. Trade Larnach 4. Trade Bell 5. I would not bring up anyone not the 40 man already. There's going to be a strike to start next year and let the minor league players keep developing during the strike.
  27. SarasotaBill
    The possible 2027 MLB strike/lock-out is a strong possibility. Any player on the 40 man roster will be locked out. The Twins realistic aim should be 2028 and beyond. 2026 - transition from previous core and trading assets 2027 - development when and if MLB season starts (AAA during strike) 2028 - start of being a playoff contender. Culpepper, Jenkins, and anyone else not on the 40 man needs to demonstrate multiple months of dominating AAA before bringing them up in 2026. Especially Jenkins who has missed so many games and needs many ABs this year and next year.

    It made absolutely no sense to pitch to Witt with a runner on 2nd and two outs in the ninth. The batter on deck is hitting 0.210. What is Shelton and his bench coach thinking about?
  29. SarasotaBill
    Rabe pitching tonight vs Auburn.

    Lackey struggled hitting curveballs last weekend. I would pick Flora over him but I know that's not the consensus.
  31. SarasotaBill
    Wait two months and let's see the results. Ryan in the rotation eases the bullpen which affects the games he doesn't pitch. We will know a lot more in two months about the number of young players on the roster as well. Most likely he will be traded at the deadline when teams have a better idea if they have a chance to win the World Series.
  32. SarasotaBill
    Now there's no choice but to unload everything at the trade deadline. Use 1st half to increase value of anyone on their last year or next to last year. 2nd half is for development for players with more than two years before free agency.
  33. SarasotaBill
    Last year was his true season in five years. Of course the Twins took it easy with him. Let him build up some more this year and see where he's at.
  34. SarasotaBill
    Especially at Home start at SS and bat ninth. If it’s a scoring opportunity have Lee pinch hit him on his first at bat. If not, have him bat once and pinch hit after five innings. Maximize defensive value while minimizing his poor offense.
  35. SarasotaBill
    He's got two years left in his contract so there's no rush. Mid-season provides another 6 months of development that will give more insight into the future. Just too many questions about the young MLB Twins and the high end of prospects. Even a mid-season trade provides teams two playoff years.
