I freely admit that I was one of those guys clinging to the hope that this year's Twins could not only make the playoffs; they could actually win the Central Division! Well, a 4-9 start to August and the unmasking of our deficiencies by getting swept at home by the Phillies has made the opposite po...
Would you trade Ryan Jeffers for Hunter Greene? There is potential here!! While the Twins shoudl prioritize bullpen over rotation, this could be a decent trade. WHile bullpen is a bigger need, our rotation isnt exactly world beaters. Joe Ryan is solid, but are his recent struggles and "ar...
I was just talking with a "friend in the know". And now my distrust of the Pohlads went to a whole new level. Of course yes I am a conspiracy theorist!! and no none of these thoughts have been proven factual, or even accurate, BUT when do we need provable facts to form opinions? I have always...
If the Minnesota Twins acquired Hunter Greene If the Minnesota Twins Went All-In: The Trade That Changes Everything The MLB trade deadline is always a game of calculated risks, but rarely do we see a move that bridges the gap between a desperate playoff push and a long-term championshi...
We are now a week away from the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline and the Twins plans remain as unclear as possible. On the one hand, after beating the Athletics 11-8 on Sunday, the Twins sit 53-54 and only a game out of a playoff spot. Those factors give the Twins a 32.7% playoff chance (per Fangraphs) as th...
We can all argue about how good this year's team is and whether we should buy or sell. I think the ceiling is about 85-86 wins, getting a wildcard or winning the division if Chicago and Cleveland tank, winning one playoff series, and then being quickly shown the door. I think the floor is 72 – 75 wi...
Wow! 23 Million! The Twins would be crazy to offer that contract. The Twins did not choose to extend Ryan Jeffers as he was entering arbitration. They could have at that point paying him a somewhat more than he would have received in his arb years and then probably getting a break on the early...
There is an old very true saying that before you can decide what to do now to impact the future, you have to know where you are now in space and time. I think that before the Twins can decide whether to buy or sell at the deadline, or to do both in some measure, you have to have a sober, clearheaded...
Random speculations indicate an option where the Padres may move Mason Miller in order to entice a team to take on Xander Bogaerts. Should the Twins consider this?? I say Heck Yes!!! Now I think there is no chance in heck they actually WILL, but this is a move that actually makes a ton of sens...
It's that time of year again - The weather is hot, the baseball is contentious, and the winds of trade are in the air! This year, with a record of 49-49 and currently holding the 3rd AL Wild Card spot, the Twins appear to be taking on the role of contender. Like many of their American League f...
