    We have two many starters that can’t start!

    Dodgers sign HANSEL ROBLES to a minor league contract. Amazed the Twins missed this one. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/dodgers-sign-hansel-robles.html

    Who can they add to the rotation. Or the bullpen? Remember, for every arm added, one must go. And NOT just to the minors, as an added arm would also mean freeing up a 40-man roster spot.

    I think the "double-play" strategy would work!

    NICK VINCENT, whi signed a minor league deal with the Barves and was released, has resurfaced in a minor league deal with the Tigers. He pitched for the Twins bullpen last season. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/tigers-sign-nick-vincent-reliever.html

    TYLER CLIPPARD is getting the call by the Nationals. He pitched for the Nats in parts of 7 of his 15 Big League seasons. Pitched for the Twins in 2020, one of ten teams that have rostered him. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/nationals-place-tanner-rainey-on-60-day-il-with-ucl-sprain-select-tyler-clippard.html

    The Dodgers have claimed former Twins prospect JAKE REED who was put on waivers by the Mets. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/dodgers-claim-jake-reed-off-waivers-from-mets.html

    BEN HELLER!? https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=heller000ben Sometimes wish the Twins would actually spend more time trading pieces and working towards fixing any holes in the system (and major league roster) for real than signing cast-offs. Yes, there is sometimes gold to be found, but still............ Hope BEN can comeback, stronger than ever. The Ft. Myers fountain of wonder waters may only be a myth, though.

    Unfortunately, they DO have to find a 40-man roster spot for him as he can walk from the Twins as a minor league free agent. Is he an option in the shortstop situation? DO the Twins keep Palacios and Beckham if Corea is gone for sure?
  10. Rosterman
    So, in the end, a team expecting to trade crap for value might just get more toilet paper in exchange? Hopefully two-ply rather than single sheet?

    Somehow I don't see Bundy or Archer getting bumped from the rotation unless the Twins relase them or trade them. At best, Archer is shut down at some point, as the Twins have an option for him for next season. I would like to see both Ober and Winder get regular starts at St. Paul. As well as see Canterino and Varland move to the Saints. Have the Saints totally switch Balazovic, Sands and Henriquez to the bullpen to see if there is salavation for keeping those arms on the 40-man roster come next season. But it also means a lot of roster movement at St. Paul. Winder and Ober will continue to prove that they are able to pitch at the major league level and will see action come September when the Twins will be looking for fresher arms, be it in the rotation or the bullpen. Remember, Maeda might be back (after an extensive rehab in the minors). And Dobnak may be the guy who pitches the Twins to a World Series title, right?

    Repoorted on MLBtraderumors...MITCH GARVER is out for the rest of the season. Last night, the Rangers transferred catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver from the 10-day to the 60-day injured list. That’s not a surprise, as he’ll miss the rest of the season after undergoing season-ending surgery to repair the injured flexor tendon in his forearm. The move freed a spot on Texas’ 40-man roster, which Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News suggests (on Twitter) is likely to go to reliever Jonathan Hernández. The right-hander hasn’t pitched in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2021, but he’s been on a rehab stint at Triple-A Round Rock for the past month and a half. Grant notes that his allotted rehab window wraps up tomorrow, meaning he’ll have to be reinstated from the 60-day IL or shut down from his rehab entirely. The former seems likelier, as manager Chris Woodward suggested Hernández should be back with the big league club soon.

    BRANDON WADDELL leaves the Cardinals organization to sign with Korean baseball for the remainder of the 2022 season. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/cardinals-brandon-waddell-signs-kbo-korea-bears.html Brandon pitched for the Twins, Orioles and Cardinals last season. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=waddel000bra

    Sano Situation

    Rosterman commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    If you trade for Sano, do you take on his remaining contract for this season? You also have to be willing to pick up the option (or pay the option out) for next season. Why not just wait and let him become a free agent. Or see if the Twins release him come August. Sadly, if he becomes playable, the Twins will have to roster him and play him as they have $10 million reasons to try and get soemthing out of him this season, unless he is just so terribly horrible........
  15. Rosterman
    He has to pitch if he wants a job in 2023...anywhere. Be interesting to see how his off-season pans out. But if the Twins felt Rogers was overpaid, what does that say about Duffey? But, who knows. He might become the temporary closer the Twins need!
  16. Rosterman
    I was hoping we would see Chi Chi start!
  17. Rosterman
    I do wish AAA St. Paul would start looking harder at pitchers that could be once and future Twins, rather than one-offs and gone minor league free agents. Can they look quick and hard and Henriquez and Balazovic and even Sands as bullpen possibilities? That would make rotation room for Canterino and Varland to come to St. Paul and start. Cano and Hamilton should be groomed enough to egt the call over any of the remaining free agents signed (Sanchezes, Wood, Bashlor, Viza etc.). I am shaking my head that Thornburg, Minaya and Cotton and Derek Rodriguez have all NOT been claimed by other teams, or signed by other teams (yet CHi Chi Rodriguez was). But is it necessary to retain them for future work by the Twins?

    MLBtrade rumors has mentioned that COlorado is hoping to move some pieces. The Twins need a closer. Why not? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/rockies-reportedly-open-to-trading-chad-kuhl-alex-colome.html We could send them Pagan, our wanna be closer, for Colombe, who may be a better second-half pitcher again. Good chance to take? Throw in a Bundy exchange for Kuhl. Maybe sweeten the pot for Colorado with Strotman as a throw-in with a low-level prospect in return.
  19. Rosterman
    40-34. They gave up a lot of runs, but also scored a lot. You gotta love this game of baseball!
  20. Rosterman
    I was just thinking "What if the Twins were in 4th or 5ht place? Who would be available from the bullpen and what would they get in return?" Caleb Thielbar. If situational lefties still existed, maybe. The fact that he IS left-hnaded would help. Emilo Pagan. That he has anotehr season of control is a plus. The cost of that season, questionable. Tyler Duffey. Potential free-agent. So hot and cold you don't want to turn on the water. Cotton, Minaya, Thornburg. All could've been had with a simple claim and eating salary owed. None were able to find a free-agent contract buyer. Makes Chi Chi Gonzalez look like a diamond, I guess. Joe Smith. No trade value if he can't come off the IL list in time. Maybe the Twins just cut him in August and another eam grabs him and eats remaining salary. Don't see anyone knocking down the doors for a Twins pitcher. The best the Twins could hopeful is a potential minor league free agent, or a player that will have to be protected on the 40-man come season's end, but not by the trading team. You wonder how the Twins have gotten and remained where they are today, with so many impossible trade pieces in their own bullpen.
  21. Rosterman
    If going by average, down for most position players. We think he is hurt, but then he hits triples, scores runs and makes fantastic plays. Right now, the face of the franchise! But if homers were everything, then we should be excited about the potential return of Sano!
  22. Rosterman
    Once Again, former Twins prospects trade places in another organization! Sam Clay replaces Jake Reed in Mets-land! https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/mets-claim-sam-clay-off-waivers-designate-jake-reed.html
  23. Rosterman
    Who will Sano replace on the 26-man roster is the question?
  24. Rosterman
    Smeltzer will get another shot before the All-Star break, but he has to be on the demotion bubble now, unless he could be the long relief lefty. Winder needs to shine to stay. There is hope for Ober to join the staff, maybe?
  25. Rosterman
    You gotta admit that Twins baseball is exciting...as it is frustrating. Who thought the Twins would lead the division for the majority of the season and be in first place at the halfway point? I sure didn't. And we are watching some exciting growth from a whole slew of prospects, be it Ryan or Duran, Kirilloff or Miranda. We saw futrue hope in Lewis. Now just have to put together a team!
