I love how Gleeman has been so pessimistic. He used to be the positive one. He listed 15 FA in the Twins range and only 7 or so left after Jansen signing.

Twins have signed 1B Josh Bell. Pretty good player.

Incredibly easy. 7 million to him as they didn't want to spend 12 million on the All Star and best fielder; O'Hearn. It is better than doing nothing but O'Hearn can play OF and 1B. Bell could be a decent DH only but no way they get O'Hearn also.

The A’s first-round pick in 2022, Daniel Susac has risen quickly up their farm system. At age 24, he spent 2025 in AAA-Las Vegas, slashing .275/.349/.483 with 18 home runs across 97 games. He also threw out 26 percent of base stealers, but made eight errors and allowed six passed balls. In exchange for Susac, the Twins received 17-year-old catching prospect Miguel Caraballo. In the Dominican Summer League, the switch-hitting Caraballo slashed .264/.432/.442 across 41 games. No Twins prospects were selected by any other clubs in the Major League portion of the draft. In the minor league (AAA) portion, Minnesota lost relievers Aaron Sozak and John Stankiewicz while adding reliever Sam Ryan and outfielder Garrett Spain. A switch-hitting catcher is such a luxury. Ryan Doumit is the last one I remember playing for the Twins, although he played other positions too. Caraballo will be an interesting guy to keep an eye on. The prize of the Duran trade was a teenage catcher. Now we traded away a catcher who might be ready next season for another teenage catcher. I actually have no problem with that move. The Twins already signed Jackson to back up Jeffers. This created a longshot scenario for the rule 5 catcher. Trading him for Caraballo adds organizational depth at catcher without the rule 5 contingency. Yeah. It might be a steal down the line. Just thinking I would rather see Susac in Minny than some light hitting retread(Jackson).

If it was me I would be sneaky about it.....trade away Jeffers and Larnach and trade for Adley and sign O'Hearn. I wouldn't be all that against trading Joe Ryan either----but it would take Tong and McLean from the Mets or Early and Tolle from Boston. I think we need more bats than pitching.....and these combined moves would just cost about 3 million.
