August 2, 20224 yr Posted just now "Mahle already on the Twins 26 man roster on mlb.com" He is the 27th man, haven't optioned or designated anyone yet. Lopez hasn't been added, so the Twins have to remove 2 pitchers.
August 2, 20224 yr This has been a fun day, but we really need one more starter. The back of the rotation still is fully capable of sinking this season. Doesn't even have to be an elite guy just someone capable of going five and not getting lit up. If the Pohlad's can be talked into bumping the payroll; Snell or Alex Cobb or Alex Wood, Eovaldi. Anyone to shore up the back end.

August 2, 20224 yr I know we're all pretty fixated on what our boys are doing, but has anyone been watching the Pads? They're going bat-sh*t crazy!

Cotton gone for Mahle. Who is Cave bumping?

Cano was moved, so Mahle was put on in his place ... and Lopez will replace Cotton. But yeah ... not sure wha the corresponding move will be if they activate Cave
August 2, 20224 yr So far: Mahle, Lopez, Cave added to 26 man and 40 man Cotton DFA'd, Kirilloff to 15 day IL, Cano off 40 man roster (was already optioned to AAA). Looks to me like we'll need one more 26 man spot and one more 40 man spot.

August 2, 20224 yr 8 minutes ago, Hrbowski said: I'm a little confused why they would cut Cotton but not Joe Smith. It's going to take a while to sort out the 40-man "cuts" from the 26-man "cuts", and the page at mlb.com that I always rely on is going to be a work-in-progress for the next several hours. I'm a little disappointed Strotman hasn't figured into either trade so far. Must speak to him having 0 trade value. He'd be a DFA candidate, once the team knows for sure how many 40-man spots they actually need. They might not know, themselves, for another 65+ minutes anyway.

August 2, 20224 yr As was fully expected, the Twins land a backup catcher as Caleb Hamilton was not going to cut it. Leon should be up sooner than later.

Not only are the White Sox and Guardians mostly sitting out this trade deadline, one of them is sending us (admittedly minor) reinforcements.

Funny, this is the one I think could bite the Twins the most. Hamilton seems like one of those journeyman nobodies that Cleveland could turn into a bullpen weapon.
August 2, 20224 yr I see on MLBTR the Twins got a catcher from the Guardians. Is this the other trade you mentioned Brock?
August 2, 20224 yr Sandy Leon for Ian Hamilton. With all the roster churn I never quite understood why Ian didn't get another look in Target Field. Leon has had five consecutive seasons now, with an OPS in the .500s. Caleb Hamilton to the Twins: Am I A Joke To You?

Perhaps, but the Twins have neglected him for so long that it's not much different from cutting him and Cleveland picking him up. The Twins weren't going to call him up, so it's no loss on our end.
