    Add me to those who believe a Kreidler/Ross competition in spring training is the answer. One opens the season with the Twins, the other is at St. Paul as insurance for an injury or as a replacement should the winner's bat get ugly. Both play lots of positions, play them well and will be cheap for several years. Both are exactly what you want for your 13th position player.

    He got moved off shortstop. His bat is declining as he ages and we have a wonderful young shortstop on the way who will require some juggling of the roster at the positions this guy can play. And someone is suggesting the Twins pay him $20MM for two years. I say no, no and NO!

    The Twins currently have 21 pitchers on their 40-man roster. (Banta is included, but I saw reports he was released. Was he?) Are any of the pitchers considered in this report better than any of those on the 40-man? Doesn't seem like it to me. If not, there isn't room or a need to add them and that's before needing space for one or two relievers the Twins should add before opening day. It's also possible space for the added relievers could come from a pitcher or two being traded.

    Has always seemed like Jeffers both likes this team and was happy here. Doesn't mean he will take a discount but could mean he is amenable to signing on for a very nice three-year contract before November 17. What that means for average dollars is beyond all of us, rather is up to Zoll, Pohlad, Boras and mainly Ryan. Good news is we will know where this is headed in about 11 days. I hope like h.... they get it done.

    I keep checking here to see news of what the Twins have done, half a dozen times a day. So far that is limited to the QO to Jeffers. He/catcher may be the biggest single position that needs addressing this off-season. Hopefully, we will see that happen within the next two weeks. Also want to see Larnach and Wallner trades before Thanksgiving. Maybe even get a solid young reliever in return for Larnach. Or a really good one for Larnach plus. Is that asking for too much?

    Is the AFL mostly Hi-A ball players now? Wasn't that long ago I think each team was limited to what was it, one player who wasn't at least at AA? Or something like that. I know teams used to be filled with players knocking on the door.

    After reading the article someone linked to yesterday, I am so excited about what DeBarge could be for the Twins. I recall he got a gold glove for his defense at second. Was that last year? He steals a ton of bases which adds that aggressive piece to his game and his team. I keep reading comments about him being a top-notch leader is another plus. Yes, he had a so-so year at AA this past summer. It was AA, wasn't it? But he seems to be the type of player the Brewers are loaded with, and the Twins have too few. Also seems to be a player in the same mold as Keaschall. Sure would love to see DeBarge, Houston and Lee manning the Twins infield a year or so down the road. Don't know what that means for finding playing time for Culpepper, who has to play. But with injuries and an occasional game at DH, there are plenty at bats for the four guys at three positions. Similar situation to the outfield with Buxton, Keaschall, Jenkins and EmRod. Great D and speed sure makes baseball fun to watch. At least for me.

    Could not agree more that I hope he accepts. Will join those who believe it is less than 50/50 that he does. Seems to me that he is comfortable with the team he has been playing with. Seems to an outsider that he likes it here. Is that enough for him to take several more millions next year than he would get annually from a longer-term deal? Expect it is unlikely Lackey is ready come spring, 2028. Maybe later in the year? Will agree that long-term the answers at the catching position for two catchers are already in the organization. With five or six very good to great prospects, got to believe one will be very good to great and at least one other will be good.

    Loved the idea of what you are trying to do, that is until I saw the return you are proposing for Ryan. Expect if Zoll actually did that deal, he would or at least should be unemployed the next day. Sure, is going to be interesting seeing what the Twins do with Lewis. Not certain there is a good answer. What I expect is that if they release him or trade him for something minimal he will be an all-star for the next several years.

    Great read with tons of good information. Thanks, Cody. Add me to those who believe the Twins must, I repeat MUST get many of their roster moves, including trades done by November 30. The next 29 days are gonna be interesting, very interesting.

    Is Jackson still on the Saints roster and under Twins control in 2027? If so, should they sign Jeffers to an extension or he stays via the QO, there is a real chance they trade Caratini. Don't know what they could get or how much of his salary they would have to keep to get anything back. But should they keep Jeffers and Caratini departs, their overall spending at catcher may not be all that much more than this past year.

    When you look at who the hitters are, it becomes clear why the pitching side isn't as strong as the hitters. All those hitters were taken in the first round with several amongst the top handful of picks. It seems logical that pitchers selected later in the draft wouldn't have the same level of hype, wouldn't it?
  33. rdehring
    Both will likely be available, at least should be. Whether they are here or gone will depend on what they can get in return. Although not necessary to do in November, need to extend Lopez by early next season. Makes sense to wait until he is on the field in spring/summer training to see how his recovery is going. Agree with above comments that starting pitching will determine whether or not the Twins are playoff contenders in 2027. That's assuming there is a 2027?
  34. rdehring
    Might want to wait until he has more than a handful of games at Hi-A under his belt. Great idea for winter of '28-'29.
  35. rdehring
    Hopefully, this won't be a concern for the Twins in '27 as he will be pitching for some other team. My only concern is that the Twins get a good return when he is traded.
