quote: ORIGINAL: twinsfan quote: ORIGINAL: Trekgeekscott quote: ORIGINAL: twinsfan I'm rooting for a White Sox vs Brewers WS. If the Twins are out of it, I usually have the following standards 1. Yankees must die. 2. Redsox must die (Dodgers are close to climbing into this position. 3 Dodgers must die. 4. I root for the team that has suffered the longest drought or never has won, or appeared in a WS, That means. Rays (never won), and Guardians (last won in 1948 or so) in the AL. and Padres and Brewers, both who've never won, in the NL. Which means it will be Dodgers and Yankees again. I'd accuse you of copying and pasting this from last season, but you have condensed your explanation over the years. Getting lazy?[&:] Not Lazy, More efficient.

Pohlads don't get it even with a new one in charge. Fans realize 2 things: 1) Payroll should be based on when you were closest to league average not when you cut it drastically.....so raising payroll from the dregs you have it now doesn't matter. 2) Carrying a third catcher all year on the roster that didn't play 3) Keeping players like Larnach and Ober a middle salaries does not help the team or justify any payroll questions.

twinsfan -> RE: General Twins Talk (9/30/2026 9:23:30 AM)
Imagine blaming Larnach.

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Twins Talk (9/30/2026 10:32:26 AM)

Phil Riewer -> RE: General Twins Talk (9/30/2026 11:18:50 AM)
Ted @tlschwerz 1h The Twins are on the hook for $10M in each of the next two seasons for Correa. Jeffers getting a qualifying offer seems like a no-brainer. They should have plenty of room to roster him for $24M or so, and then leave the door open for Vahn Lackey in a couple years. What I don't want to see for any of these low-spending teams, is just handing out inflated contracts for the sake of spending money. See: Athletics and Luis Severino Minnesota Sports Fan @realmnsportsfan Tom Pohlad told reporters that the Minnesota Twins are gonna spend some serious cash this offseason. Why should we believe him? Because he probably won't have a choice.

The Twins should definitely make the qualifying offer. Very doubtful he accepts it. Boras will probably negotiate him something in the neighborhood of 4 years and $60 million.

He projects to $15-$16 million per year on a multi year deal. He won't get the equivalent of his QO on a multi year contract.

Teams like the Yankees were salivating at getting him at the trade deadline. I have a feeling he's going to get a little more than people expect.

So he will probably get paid more than the Twins will be willing to give him. I want him to bridge the gap until the Tait's and Lackey's are ready.

twinsfan -> RE: General Twins Talk (10/2/2026 9:04:48 AM)
I want Caratini to be our #1 catcher in 2027. Lackey will be ready by 2028.

The Twins Almanac @TwinsAlmanac Did you know Jack Morris and his agent sat down with Carl Pohlad and Andy MacPhail prior to the 1987 season, but were unable to reach a deal? #MNTwins It was later determined that owners conspired against free agents during this time period. (Collusion led to Carew's retirement)

Pssst: A sale of the Twins to the New York-based global investment firm Varde Partners, which has an office in Minneapolis and in 2025 became a Twins limited partner to help the franchise out of $500 million in debt, is said to be heating up. Varde Partners reportedly manages $15 billion in assets. Charley Walters – Pioneer Press

It's Charley Walter's. Nothing to see here.

The Twins announced Tuesday that they’ve named Brian Reith their new pitching coach, replacing Pete Maki, whose contract wasn’t renewed at season’s end. Reith has spent the past five seasons as the pitching coach with the Rays’ Triple-A affiliate in Durham, and he pitched in parts of three major league seasons with the Reds from 2001-04. Minnesota also elevated Ben Myers, who’s been on the training staff with their top affiliate in St. Paul, to the major league staff as an assistant athletic trainer. Love this hire! He's the secret to the Rays' success.
