  1. The Giants ARE NOT trading away Eldridge for Ryan or ANYBODY ELSE.
  2. Because they are GUTLESS. The Twinkies' ownership and management know that the ACTUAL FANS of the game of baseball would understand a complete reboot, the Corporate types that purchase season tickets and suites would not accept being seen at games featuring: AAAA players, never was players and yet to establish themselves players.
  3. You left out Jeffers. He's a Free Agent AFTER this season. Boras is his agent. Boras will not allow Jeffers to sign an extension and a free agent contract will be beyond the Twins' budget. Unless there is a qualifying offer extended, after 2026, Jeffers' leaves and the Twinkies get ZIP. Unless he is traded.
  4. Why Gasper instead of Julian? Doesn't Gasper have options? And defensive positions.
  5. Vegas is accounted for, that's where Oakland is moving. Just waiting for the stadium to be built.
  6. But he is blocking players, the way in which the roster is currently constructed. Bell is either 1B or DH. Clemens WAS to be the primary 1B. When Bell plays 1B, who is the DH? Clemens?? Or is Clemens to become the back up 1B, 2B, 3B??Last year because of his negative fielding, Larnach was shielded from playing in the field by making him the day in day out DH. Now that they have got BELL = They are putting Larnach back in the OF?? When Bell is the DH, what becomes of Larnach = LF. If Larnach is in LF and Buxton and Wallner finish out the OF: what becomes of Martin? Does Martin then lose his LF job and revert to being back up at LF, RF, CF, 2B ?? What Becomes of Roden? Where is there room for Rodriguez, Gonzales, Outman (why is the latter still on the 40 man roster anyway ?). Considering the stated intention to run the bases like what took place down the stretch in 2025, adding a SLOW running, bad defensive player, at a position staffed by a 2025 holdover makes no sense. Whatever "the plan" is not about building a team for long term success; it's about trying to make the corporate owned season ticket holders happy so they can brag about a Josh Bell longball the next day at work and recount the number of beers they drank and the number of hot dogs they ate. Because in reality most shelling out for season tickets just want to brag about going to the game. Most don't even know the players on the opposing team, let alone the players on the home team.
  7. The listing of "talent" just emphasizes the need for a long term developmental player for 1B for this organization.
  8. Just ONE from the "LOADED" 40 man roster released?? In a pinch, easily a half dozen more openings on the 40 man roster could be made by DFA those certain players. Doubtful, any would be claimed and if they were = NO BIG LOSS. By the end of the 2026 season, just how many of these place keepers will remain on the 40?
  9. Because they needed to offset the 10 Million the team is eating this year to dump Correa by subtracting the players who would get raises through arbitration.
  10. To all of you advocating a Jeffers extension, his agent is Scott Boras. Use your heads!! Boras does not advocate extensions for players heading to free agency. When he reaches free agency, Jeffers won't come cheap. And CHEAP is the direction this organization is heading - even more so than in the past The only way to receive ANY value from Jeffers is to trade him BEFORE he becomes a free agent and NOTHING is received.
  11. NO. But then again, as a result of COVID, most AYCE Buffets have CLOSED.
  12. I'd have to disagree and that LF will be most likely be an Unpleasant Surprise in 2026.
  13. For $5,000,000 or even $500,000, I'd shave off 50 years of age and say I was 21.
  14. With Boras as his agent, and extension ain't happening. Especially with the team skimping on spending and unlikely to have success in the near term.
  15. At 1.8 Million, is Jackson viewed as a backup or will he become the starting C once Jeffers is traded? That would be coupled with the elevation to backup status for whoever is remaining at AAA and proves worthy. Keep an eye on Philly as a Jeffers destination if Philly fails to resign their starting catcher. Flavey has already dealt with them recently.
  16. What about the players cluttering up the Twins 40 Man Roster who should be DFA'd??
  17. NO. The Pohlads did not get to be where they are financially by paying attention to the opinions of or pressure applied by others. You're in the business army now; you're only friend's a BUCK and the more BUCKS you've got, the more friends you've got = Pohlad family mantra, originally from Fred Flintstone.
  18. You all are forgetting Cody's Clemens DNA. He can be the mop-up man on the mound in those blowout losses. He fills the void left by Jonah Bride's departure. Just imagine, instead of moaning and groaning to folks about another lopsided loss; you can instead say that you saw CLEMENS pitch !!
