Interesting that after drafting a C and C/1B in the first two rounds, we went with 8 consecutive college RHP to round out our first 10 selections.

That was the most boneheaded base running you’ll see at any level. Down 4 runs in the 9th. Twins need a big rally. First 3 guys get hits! Okay here go. Oops check that. Two guys get thrown out on the base paths in one play and suddenly it’s two outs and one on…in a situation where station to station running would have been just fine and there was zero reason to take chances.

Brooks Lee caused it by going for a double. "Ran with his head down." He forgot the guys on base had to stay back in case it was caught (which it almost was). Atteberry called it "Bad News Bears." Yup,

Yup, Yep. He passed the runner in front of him. A clear sign Lee wasn't paying attention. Instead of bases loaded with nobody out, he caused a chain reaction that left one on and two out.

Well, I think we are now trending to be sellers instead of buyers. Glad football season is starting soon.

Karl Ravech, one of ESPN’s most prominent on-air voices for more than three decades, and NFL insider Tom Pelissero were laid off as part of the network’s latest round of cuts Tuesday, according to sources briefed on the moves. Ravech, 61, has been the lead play-by-play voice on ESPN’s Major League Baseball coverage, hosted “Baseball Tonight,” called college basketball and was a longtime “SportsCenter” anchor. Ravech, who joined the network in 1993, called Monday’s Phillies-Dodgers game in Philadelphia. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7460561/2026/07/21/karl-ravech-espn-layoffs-nfl-network/?campaign=19059478&source=athletic_breaking_targeted_email&userId=114953

Time to trade Jeffers and Bell. Probably Ryan too. The Twins came out of the AS break doing what I feared what they would do.

twinsfan -> RE: General Twins Talk (7/23/2026 3:34:45 PM)
Huge win! Jack Anderson with the save.

NY is looking for another catcher....Id trade Jeffers for Dominguez and others. Id keep Ryan and try to get Trevor Rogers or Griffin from the Nationals if they are selling.

Karl saw a big win last night. Hopefully he didn't walk out early.

You never answered your post....are we buyers or sellers? Buyers. Twins GM Jeremy Zoll says team is prepared to buy as trade deadline approaches MINNEAPOLIS — There’s nothing wishy-washy about it. The Minnesota Twins are buyers. Though myriad teams around the league are still undecided about their plans ahead of Monday’s trade deadline, the Twins intend to enhance their roster. Knowing full well that finding a willing trade partner could be tricky because of limited teams identified as sellers, the Twins say they plan to pursue roster upgrades to support a surprising club still in the postseason hunt. Shortly before the Twins opened a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals, general manager Jeremy Zoll confirmed the team’s plans. He listed improving the bullpen as the top priority and said the Twins will be open to “creative paths.” “This has been what we were focusing on and what our pro personnel group over the last couple of months has been focused on — the ‘buy’ version of things,” Zoll said. “It wasn’t some situation where they were prepping to sell and we’re switching. Now we’re looking forward to try and execute on that work.” The Twins began dropping hints this would be their path when Zoll shut down Byron Buxton trade rumors June 24. Control owner Tom Pohlad suggested July 10 that if they were in position, the Twins would be buyers. The team is helping its own cause, too, going 9-2-1 in its last 12 series and climbing within a game of the .500 mark at 53-54. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7476531/2026/07/28/twins-gm-jeremy-zoll-prepared-to-buy-2026-mlb-trade-deadline/

They will make a qualifying offer, so when Jeffers leaves, we will receive a supplemental 1st round draft pick.
