    After reading Lewis quote... let me say this in language he would understand... Dude is delusional
  2. D.C Twins
    "Minnesota needs Larnach to remain a productive part of its outfield" Huh? Disagree
  3. D.C Twins
    This is just a prelude to the future TD article which states "Sources say that the Twins made a very competitive offer, but thank Jeffers for his services and wish him well with the Yankees''
  4. D.C Twins
    I predict 4/60 or 3/50

    So naturally your son would have played only for the love of the game if he made the MLB and accepted no more than 150k per year... right?
  6. D.C Twins
    Not trading him and then not extending the QO to get a comp draft pick would be organizational malpractice.... which means of course, that is where we are likely headed. He will absolutely turn down the QO to get the 3-4 year 45-60mil contract he will be offered. The FO does not need to overthink this and lose a good draft pick

    I think Ross will be our dependable low cost UTL in 2028 and beyond
  8. D.C Twins
    Unfortunately, Lewis is not going to be worth much in trade value. They will keep him and if he faulters in the first half of next season, he will be DFAed
  9. D.C Twins
    It is season ticket sales season!
  10. D.C Twins
    I could see Sabato coming back on a minor league contract for the Twins. Wallner should go tear it up in Japan. Keeping Ross is a no brainer. I could easily see him as our cheap utility man of the future. Larnach and Lewis need to go.... It would be nice to get something for them, but I'm not sure they are worth much to others unfortunately.

    Wait... you're telling me that the Pohlads may not mean what they say and that they have been slashing payroll/cost in preparation for a sale?!?! Shocking I tell you... absolutely shocking! (Narrator's Voice): This has been obvious for 2 years
  12. D.C Twins
    2 and 3 'Downs' could be combined. MLB pitchers can command their pitches better. They can hit their spots within the strike zone. EROD has swing and miss in the zone..... Put it together and he could be struggling with making contact with pitches that are more often strikes in the MLB than balls in the MiLB This issue will make or break him over the long haul.... Rooting for him HARD because he is a spark plug that makes those around him better and the game more enjoyable for fans!

    Totally get this, but what if Ryan is traded? What if Kremer regresses to the mean? What if Matthews and/or Preilipp have sophomore struggles? What if Abel doesn't progress as we anticipate? I feel like SP depth is important and 6.9mil shouldn't disrupt the Twins overall budget. If some of the young ones have to 'prove it' for a month or two in AAA, not a big deal. If they most prove it AND there are no injuries, they come up and Ober goes to the bullpen. Is the bullpen an ideal use of 6.9mil... NO... but again, you are paying for experience and depth and flexibility... for one year
  14. D.C Twins
    Like the thinking here. And if TP actions match is bluster, pay Jeffers (Caratini is the problem here obviously) (Narrator's voice) TP's actions will not match his bluster...
  15. D.C Twins
    At 6.9 million for only a 1 year commitment for rotational depth that is ALWAYS needed, I say tender. I completely understand why others may want to let him walk, but I have a suspicion that he will be helpful overall next year.
  16. D.C Twins
    I'm bullish on Raya as a quality cheap 7th-9th inning MLB bullpen piece. This was year 1 of the transition. He will be more comfortable next year I think Quick eventually becomes a high leverage bullpen arm
  17. D.C Twins
    He is going to be a STAR.... sit back relax and enjoy the show
  18. D.C Twins
    Most all people on TD would like to have Ryan beyond this year, but after this year he is a FA. He has expressed no interest in staying here (likely wants to go West) AND we have next to zero chance of signing him as a FA. The question is not if he is leaving, it is what, if anything, do the Twins want to get before he goes Again, the smart move was to trade sometime from the 2025 to the 2026 trade deadline. The difference between trading in the off season, trading at the 2027 deadline, and keeping him for the season and getting a comp pick is far more marginal and really not even worth arguing about anymore
  19. D.C Twins
    replied to wrong post
  20. D.C Twins
    They already missed the optimal trading window. (ie when smart smaller market teams trade assets they know they will lose in FA) A big shoulder shrug from me as to whether they trade him during the off season or deadline

    Magic 8 Ball says "The Twins will report that they were sooooooooooo close with a suuuuuper competitive offer but unfortunately it did not work out...(They tried reaaaaalllly hard though!)"

    Don't forget about Cody's_Law_of_Clickbait
  23. D.C Twins
    If Tommy P is serious about being aggressive, he will outbid the Yankees for Jeffers and keep him right here. Not only because we need a good catcher but also because he is at the top of a pretty poor FA class (spoiler alert Matt, the Twins will not outbid the Yankees, but they will make sure to 'leak' to the press, to include TD, that they were sooooooooooooooooo close with their bid!) It is season ticket sales time which mandates typical Pohlad Platitudes (trademark pending)

    I so wish that it was 'mindless vitriol' but alas, it is 'absolutely well earned vitriol' Part of the well-earned vitriol is that the team most certainly did not act correctly at the deadline which was plain to see real time for those of us in the 'mindless vitriol' camp
