    The trade output from last year's deadline has been impressive. I know this is unpopular with at least 50% of TD, but we need to finish the job at this year's deadline to finish the youth movement. Ryan and Jeffers are not going to sign an extension, nor will the Twins outbid others during free agency. We need to get as much for them as possible. Also sell high on Larnach. I'm excited to see how the new wave performs for better or worse. Let's get to it.

    Addition by subtraction. Removing Wallner and Lewis poor defense and prolific strikeouts makes a big difference!

    Apologies for using this 3 times in one day... but there has been a rash of hyperbolic articles on TD today and as the old saying goes... a GIF is worth a million words.

    'They left him exposed to the Rule 5 Draft, though he wasn't selected.' This would seem to suggest that other teams don't think he is MLB quality either. But, if this season goes South, he is exactly the type that should get a look in the 2nd half

    Lewis should already be in AAA.... he is absolutely a detriment to the team right now. Maybe he has a lingering injury and maybe not... but that is irrelevant... Either way he needs to be off this team
  28. D.C Twins
    I totally get this sediment, but this is his first season learning to come out of the bullpen and his stuff is legit.... There is definitely a chance things still work out for him in the bullpen.

    I'll give them a little more grace on Carantini.... they do need two passable catches after Jeffers gets traded at the deadline (Jacksson being the other)

    ... and Pablo..... they half arsed the rebuild so we could end up having the worst of both worlds.... The Twins ownership and front office simply do not have the foggiest idea of how to run a professional baseball franchise.... It's sad with a sprinkle of embarrassment.... and if you have a refined pallet.... just a hint of apathy...
  31. D.C Twins
    I understand your point but IMO we need to look at this without knowledge of performance this season. We traded Duran, Jax, Varland, and Correa. All of these guys were controllable. We did so to bring in younger talent to prepare for the next window. We need to finish the job with Jeffers, Ryan, and Buck. Ryan and Jeffers are easy decisions because we will never pay them in free agency and make no mistake... they are going to free agency Buck depends on Buck... but if he wants to leave, we should oblige for the right price
  32. D.C Twins
    Putting all of the histrionics and hyperbole aside, the situation is pretty straight forward. 1. We all love Buck and wish that his peak aligned with a Twins competitive window, but alas, it did not. 2. Buck has peak trade value right now which will erode soon (probably starting next year) 3. Getting additional talent that aligns with the next core via a Buck trade makes sense Good roster construction happens by using intellect and not emotion. If I make you feel any better, the Twins don't have the foggiest idea about good roster construction. This will come down to Buck's desires. If he wants out at the trade deadline, the Twins will probably oblige. If he want to stay, obviously he will with his no-trade clause.
  33. D.C Twins
    . Real fans of this team should not wish for half arsed planning. Ownership has already committed to a rebuild through last years actions.... but they have not had the intestinal fortitude to see it through. Some 'fans' such as yourself perhaps do not have the intestinal fortitude either. That is fine, as long as you like protracted bad-mediocre baseball lasting upwards of a decade....
  34. D.C Twins
    I promise you that Joe Ryan has a calendar somewhere in his house where is counting down to the trading deadline day by day.....

    This bullpen needs more than a Banda-id......
