    Somehow I don't mind the Yankees losing players. Or the Dodgers either.

    Apparently many missed it, but it was mentioned early on that Ishbia was a minority owner in the White Sox. I agree the suspicious part is where he was able to purchase a larger part of the White Sox following the noise around him being interested in the Twins. As far as the team goes, I'd like to see how well they could do if they had a normal season without so many injuries.

    Must be smash on Julian day

    Thats it bring out the negative dog whistles

    I hope he can make it to the Twins this year. August would be nice. For his sake I hope he goes through the whole season healthy. I'm not sure he could pitch 50 innings total this year at whatever levels.

    I don't think he is pitching just for 2026. I think he is pitching for his whole career. But I also hope he pitches so well someone else trades for him. If the best he can be is the fifth man in the rotation because of his check, I would prefer someone else takes the 5th spot and gets the experience that a year in a major league rotation will offer.

    After 1 inning of spring work I can't see a reason to plan on him starting in the rotation. So far I agree with most that there being a trade for him is the only way he should still be with the Twins at the end of spring. Then send him to the minors. Maybe we would see him next year.

    Hopefully this year is a choice among several good starters for the last spot in the rotation and next year even more so.

    I agree, but who would he replace? If Paddack is not in the rotation.

    I like that the discussion seems to be mostly around how to keep the most talent available, instead of keeping guys without any talent period.

    There are hitting fundamentals, there are fielding fundamentals, there are base running fundamentals and pitching fundamentals. Hopefully they will be working on them heavily throughout the system.

    I agree on the "M". I won't buy one.

    This may make it likelier that trades of Paddock, Vazquez and Castro will be made to keep the payroll down.

    But that only lasted 2 seconds

    I've thought the same thing. It probably won't be with Minnesota. I would bet on Pittsburgh though.

    Add in Keaschall with Tommy john, Prielipp with Tommy John +, Canterino and any number of other pitchers with TJ. Every year I keep thinking that this is the year the injury bad luck stops. BUt it just seems to go on.

    After taking another look at the Saints starters, there may not even be room for Varland in the rotation there.
  18. gman
    He'll be a piece of a great triple A rotation this year. Should be fun to watch. Morris, Festa, Mathews, Lewis, Raya, Varland, and Adams. Won't be much room for any fast risers this year.
  19. gman
    It may not be until 27, but I could see Prielipp as a regular in the rotation. He needs to face professional hitters to learn how to succeed in the majors.
  20. gman
    The team currently has 6-8 pitchers starting from high a to 3A that won't all be in the rotation. Most will wind up in the bullpen or traded. Varland might make it as a reliever and at times has looked very good. I agree with several other posters that this could be his last year with the Twins. I think the decision comes down to bullpen or another team.

    Not a big fan so far. Upside of a double A utility player. Seems like they get too many wrong picks from this part of the draft. Should have been a gimme pick for a real good lottery player. High, upside, major league all-star, low floor basement doesn't get to advance A ball.
  22. gman
    As of today, anyway, Miranda is the best option for first base. But just like too many guys on the roster, he will be playing a position to which he has very little experience. However, its possible that by the end of the year he will have plenty of experience there.
  23. gman
    Wallner has split his outfield time for the Twins pretty evenly between LF and RF. He only played right field in 33 games last year. I think you should the guy sum slack, if he is playing defense the same way in 3 years find another spot for him. But, right field was always the spot for the worst defender best hitter on a team. Next to first base. He would be a big target at first.
  24. gman
    I would plan on a future infield of Lewis First Base, Keaschall/Eeles Second Base, Lee Third Base, and Correa Short Stop. By future infield, I mean the second half of the upcoming season. They can spend the first half fitting guys into these position and letting Keaschall, Eeles see if they are future major leaguers. I think they are. Miranda, Castro, Martin and Julian can be utility players or trade bait.

    We can always hope
