    Sands has failed to step up since the bullpen housecleaning. He really stunk it up against the Diamondbacks. He's a middling middle reliever. Can't be used in high leverage which means the back of the bullpen has to be completely rebuilt for next season.
  2. Jacksson
    Unless ownership takes action with regard to the PBO, GM (and Team Manager) positions, the SAME people who "Masterminded" the 2025 SELLOFF will be the ones making decisions in the 2025 offseason and at the 2026 trade deadline.
  3. Jacksson
    Not only did the "housecleaning" yield the wrong players in return but when it comes to the Twins trading away the proven, established, controllable, members of the bullpen, the return received was both not good enough and not enough.
  4. Jacksson
    Gray was never going to sign with the Twins. He wanted to play close to where he and his family lived. That's the reason HE PICKED St Louis. That is why he has chosen to remain there and has rebuffed any talk of being traded by them. It is not about: the team's potential, his teammates, the front office, the league, the division, the manager, the coaches; it's LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION !!
  5. Jacksson
    NO. The guy who would be trading them AWAY, who is the same guy that engineering the underwhelming return for gutting the bullpen and dumping the post 2025 free agents.
  6. Jacksson
    Too bad the guy in charge of negotiating the trade of Ryan & Lopez is the same guy who gutted the bullpen and cleared out the players bound for free agency after this season with very little to show for it. Big league-ready outfielder, Alan Roden stunk before getting hurt, right handed starter Mick Abel was also showing NOTHING before getting BOMBED the other day, James Outman has shown why the Dodgers considered him to be DISPOSIBLE, Taj Bradley has been a WARM BODY on the 26 man roster so far. The other bodies received in return are YEARS away from any meaningful MLB level contribution AND there is ZERO received to fill current roster gaps: Catcher, 1st Base, RH hitting 4th OF, LH Starter, LH Bullpen, Closer. PBO needs to go to back to school on negotiating with teams on trades !!

    Twins DID NOT get enough back for Duran, a premier, controllable closer. Tait may have potential, but he is at least 3 - 4 years away. Got a lottery ticket player and a redundant LH hitting OF for a premier defensive CF who is having a very strong year with the bat (Bader)= not enough back there either. Check what SF got from NYY for Doval and he does not compare to Duran. Should have gotten more for Jax. Getting Outman for Stewart is a just plain JOKE (on us). Why didn't we get the blocked 1B, Long back from the Cubbies in the Castro trade? Why all the LH hitting OF when the MLB Manager is Platoon Happy?
  8. Jacksson
    RELAX. The Twins have entered negotiations with the Chicago White Sox to acquire Gus Varland who was DFA by the club 8/07/25.
  9. Jacksson
    We traded the bullpen arms because they were going to get expensive in the near future, so the Pohlad's could dump Correa and use the savings from the bullpen and other player trades to raise the money to ship to Houston along with Correa without having to dig into the Pohlad warchest of money, if the team ends up not being sold, to save the Pohlad family payroll dollars in 2026, 2027, etc., and by dumping the Correa contract and the future financial obligations to the bullpen, to make the team more attractive and manageable to potential new owners.
  10. Jacksson
    And yet NO CATCHER was drafted this year. What does that tell you about the abilities of the front office??
  11. Jacksson
    New owner or not, the goal was to lower this year's and future year's payrolls by dumping the team's biggest financial drain = Carlos Correa. By saving $30MM as a result of the PURGE, that almost covered the $33MM it cost to dump Correa this year (but don't be surprised if another one or two will soon be on the out of town bus = Larnach, Vasquez, even Ryan). The trading of Jax, Varland, Duran, Stewart just lower payrolls over the next few years for either the current or future owners as their on field success and years of service leaves them well positioned for some nice raises over the next few years. Remember that when a business is sold two things can be counted on as happening: Cutting Costs & Raising Prices. Gonna take a lot of both to add up to $1.7 BILLION. Also don't expect success on the playing field because a successful team and performing players cost MONEY. Plan on attending baseball games in St Paul !!

    With regard to each and every trade (some more so than others) Not enough quality was received. Not enough quantity was received. Not enough needs at MLB & MiLB were met. There should be an outcry for the termination of the staff who made these trades.
  13. Jacksson
    Grade = F Too many of these trades should never have taken place based on the feeble return that was received.
  14. Jacksson
    So the same level of return for all the other players the have traded before the deadline.
  15. Jacksson
    Both Julian and Miranda should be shopped for the same types of players on other teams. Players who have: been given multiple chances to "make it", have exhausted their options, are clogging up a team's 40 man roster, are viewed as possibly just needing a change of scenery or a different coaching philosophy. Focus on position players who could fill organizational needs = Catcher, First Base, Outfielder with good speed & Defense.
  16. Jacksson
    Just because a player has "made it" to the big leagues, that shouldn't mean that their development and the "fixing" of their weaknesses should stop. That is what the coaches at the MLB level are PAID TO DO. Every member of a team should be able to lay down a bunt. Every member of a team should be able to steal a base and/or take an extra base. Every MLB pitcher should be able to field their position AND make an accurate throw to ANY BASE.
  17. Jacksson
    Refresh my memory. How did the last two catchers we got from the Dodgers work out??
  18. Jacksson
    Sweeper, Sinker, Cutter. Whatever happened to: Fastball, Curve, Change, Slider?? Just another JUNK Baller !
  19. Jacksson
    Interesting strategy. Draft a bunch of pitchers but not any catchers for them to throw to.
  20. Jacksson
    Soon to be signed by the Red Sox. Shades of David Ortiz....
  21. Jacksson
    Send him to the Mayo Clinic and have some experts check out that troublesome hip.
  22. Jacksson
    EXACTLY !!
  23. Jacksson
    Wasn't this the game in which the Twinkies, in one of the middle innings with the score tied 2-2 had runners on 1st & 2nd with NO OUTS and did not bunt the runners over? The inning ended with the runners stranded. They must call him ROCCO because that is what he has in his head when it comes to baseball strategy. As soon as that happened, I knew the Twinkies would end up losing.
  24. Jacksson
    Did he learn to DUCK after he throws a pitch?
  25. Jacksson
    Both will be lucky to be called up in September. Meanwhile, they can work on becoming worthy of being on a MLB roster.
