    Unless I missed it, Cody, you didn't mention one important fact of the trade. Jax will be a free agent, is it next year? I know Bradley has been up and down, so he has accumulated some major league time, but he must have at least two years before free agency. Or is it three?
  2. rdehring
    Thanks for another FANTASTIC report, Seth. Loved it! But I still don't know who Brad Rudis is? Also, a bit shocking seeing how young Jenkins is at AAA compared with everyone else. Now can we please get him on the field? Pretty Please?

    Agree with Major League Ready's comments about how Tampa and others build teams that are competitive year after year. It would be smart for the Twins to operate like they do. As far as trading Buxton, a definite NO unless he asks. Ryan is the other player who could be worth a huge return. I see the Twins keeping one of Lopez or Ryan beyond the next year. Expect it will be Lopez. As for Ryan, talk to his agent about an extension. If the answer is too expensive or a flat out no, then he goes this July. The key will be getting a package including a couple very good players who have either broken in with their club or are having success at AAA and ready to join the Twins. The return for Ryan should not be several prospects from A ball, no matter how highly rated. Jeffers is another question. He won't be returning from his injury until a few weeks prior to the deadline. Odds are good he won't be producing like he was the first two months of the season. His value this offseason could be limited should he not be the same player following his injury. Maybe a two-year extension, or three makes the most sense for both Ryan and the Twins. Hopefully, the Twins can get that done. The Twins need more players like Austin Martin. Why would you trade him? As mentioned by many above, makes sense to move Larnach, if the return is decent. Same for Bell. Unless there is a miraculous turn at AAA by either Wallner or Lewis, don't see the Twins getting much in return for either this July. Should either have a good summer with the Saints and play well in their return to the Twins the last two months, they could have value next winter. I don't see either getting moved this July but would like to see the Twins get that done in the off-season. If we want to operate like Tampa or Cleveland, the key will be evaluating who we get back in these trades. But yes, I see the Twins being active in both July and the winter.

    Thanks for the report, Seth. Was concerned about Culpepper when looking at the Saints box score. Thanks for the explanation. Should he keep hitting like he has for another week or so, we will no longer have to think of Mendez's results as being a SSS. Could this kid be this good? Everyone expects Gonzalez will be up for only a few games. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he got to play in three or four games and did so well, they can't send him back down? Didn't see the game, but game one sure seemed like a good start. Is Hill on a low pitch count?
  5. rdehring
    Thanks for the information on Mercedes. Had been wondering why he wasn't in the draft being from Puerto Rico.
  6. rdehring
    Seeing most teams have two catchers, the question remains where plays on days he's not behind the dish. He has played some first base in the past. Is he continuing to do that this year to keep his bat in the lineup?
  7. rdehring
    Have been wondering the past few days if Sabato would be a good replacement for Bell? After several disappointing seasons, he is having some success. Don't have a clue if he will have any success with the Twins. But we know Bell is a hole in their lineup. 2026 isn't going to be a competitive season for the Twins. Use it towards making the team competitive in 2027 or 2028. Wallner was a first step. They didn't bring up any of the good prospects, however, that won't happen until several get healthy.

    Didn't see this until this morning, Seth. Great seeing Jimenez back on the field. Had forgotten that the Twins got two very good catching prospects last July. Also had forgotten about Carpenter who is another young lefty. Seeing he is from Madison Tech, that's a no-no for me. A 6'11" starter for the FCL Twins? That's taller than that Dutch kid who was in the organization a while ago, isn't it? Recall reading, he was killed in an auto accident while playing winter ball in Australia a few years back. What a shame.

    For years I watched teams like Cleveland bring some kid up to make his first, or second start against the Twins and dominating for 5 or 6 innings. Kept asking, why can't the Twins have pitchers like this? Seems Prielipp may be that pitcher. Do have a question, however. Are pitchers like Prielipp going to have problems going deep into games when they have lots of high pitch at bats, leading to lots of K's?
  10. rdehring
    Congrats to your daughter for her recent successes. To many of us, Seth, you are still a young man! I don't recognize most of the names on that FCL roster. But I recall that Serrano was one of their big signings, wasn't he? Great seeing him have a game like last night. Hopefully, he is turning a corner, and his bat will start producing. Also huge night for DeBarge. You know how I love defense and speed, so he has become one of my favorite prospects. We need to remember the MiLB season is still very young. Hopefully, last night is a sign DeBarge is beginning to settle in at AA.
  11. rdehring
    Because he, Roden and Jenkins are all on the IL.
  12. rdehring
    Long overdue. Watched the Wild last night, so I didn't know who did what in last night's Twins disaster. Saw the box score this morning and just shook my head when seeing Wallner was 0-4 with another 4 K's, again. Said to my bride, of 50 years, sending this kid down would be good for both the team and Wallner. Great seeing they finally made the move. The best outcome for the Twins would be Wallner getting comfortable over the next couple weeks, then blasting a half dozen or more long home runs in June. Doubt Wallner has any place in the Twins future plans. Hopefully a successful re-set at St. Paul could get them something come July. Anything.
  13. rdehring
    Don't know if giving up on him was how I felt last fall. But his AFL performance sure was concerning. Seeing 1B is in his toolbox, would be fantastic if what we are seeing now is who he is and will be.
  14. rdehring
    Loved the game. Enjoyed your report. I for one, hope that Buxton, Ober and Jeffers are part of the Twins future as the veteran part of their next competitive team.
  15. rdehring
    Sad reading the comments about Quick. Hopefully, this is something minor and he will be back without missing a start. Or one at the most. Was wondering if any of the Twins top pitching prospects have been healthy all year? And it's only mid-May. Great seeing Winokur continue hitting like we hoped he would. Also good seeing Ferrer with good game-after-game.
  16. rdehring
    What an enjoyable evening, loved it. Will second the above comments about enjoying Shelton manage this team. Couldn't be happier for Ober after all the talk seemingly forever about his lack of velo. Beginning to believe that Jeffers may be the most important Twin to get an extension before year's end. Young man is growing into both an excellent player and a team leader. We don't know when Tait will arrive but seems there would be a spot for both on a future Twins team.
  17. rdehring
    Great seeing Houston back on the field. Also excited that Winokur has begun hitting like the great prospect we believe he is. With an organization void of any good prospects for first base, could Ferrer be the one? After a handful of games to adjust to AAA, Ross has begun hitting like, well, hitting like Ben Ross. Great to see. Will be interesting what the Twins do with him as the season moves along? Could we see him in a Twins uniform come September?
  18. rdehring
    Couple questions, Seth. First, any word on why Houston has been M.I.A. much of this week? Second, I don't see any players in your top 20 from the FCL Twins or the DSL, which will start play soon. Expect there are a couple kids who are likely to be added later this year. Your best guess as to who? Thanks for the report, Seth. Loved the lead about the fishing opener and Jayson Bass!😄
  19. rdehring
    Will second the above comments about Zebby. Has anyone else noticed that Winokur has heated up of late? Saw he was at shortstop last night.
  20. rdehring
    Looking at the box scores of the FCL Twins and Mussels. The Mussels seem to have a nice foursome at the top of their lineup. Although they have played only a few games, there are a few players in the FCL lineup who are off to a great start. And the best news is several won't turn 18 for a bit. Yes, I know the FCL and Mussels are a heck of a lot farther from Target Field than the 1.420 miles Google maps tell us. But with the Twins having had so few players signed from the Latin countries actually make it, is nice to follow your reports and dream 'what if?' I recall, Seth, that the Twins picked up a second very good catcher last July, other than Tait. Don't recall which of the many trades included him but remember he was also young and I think playing at Cedar Rapids. Haven't seen his name in any box scores this year and went in search of where he is at. See Jiminez is on the Mussels roster, listed as on the 7-day IL. Do you have any information of his injury and how long he is expected to be out?
  21. rdehring
    Felt good going into last night's game with Ober on the hill. Don't feel very good about today with SWR starting. Just as last night's results weren't what we expected, can that also be the case today? Or not? Also appears Ober pitched very well, until he didn't. Pull him after 5 and the the results don't look as bad and the Twins would have still been in the game. Only problem, that means the bullpen had to pitch 4 innings.
  22. rdehring
    I want to see the Twins develop two or three good pitchers who pitch long relief. These pitchers could follow a 5-inning starter with a 3-4 inning relief appearance. That would give the rest of the bullpen, or all but one the day off. With today's bullpen that would be good. With recent talk of the Twins working with several pitchers in the minors on a 4-day schedule, it sounds like the Twins may be thinking this might be in their future. Morris just might fit this role.
  23. rdehring
    Was not a fan of the Sabato pick when he was drafted. Wasn't impressed with him as he struggled thru his first couple years. Had forgotten about him prior to this season. So last night was a shock. Is it a sign he is turning the corner to becoming an option at first base for the Twins? Time will tell, but what a night!
  24. rdehring
    Add me to the list of those who were more than bummed when Ellwanger went on the IL. Only time I saw him was in that prospects game versus the Phillies. Thought, WOW! Also was scratching my head when I saw the 0.09 WHIP. Assumed it was a typo. Agree that kid needs to be packing his bags for a car trip down I-35 to Kansas. Guessing by Seth's comment that Quick is on the move, maybe they could rideshare.
  25. rdehring
    Considering how badly the Twins need someone at first base, I hope so!
