Wow, the knives are out. I know it’s frustrating that the lineup is underperforming, but having Rosario, Gonzalez and Adrianza here wasn’t going to solve this problem. You going to sit Polanco and Arraez for Gonzo and Adrianza? That wasn’t happening. I do believe that it’s time to ride Kiriloff in LF and see what he can do. The biggest player I think we are missing is Trevor May. He was a big cog in that bullpen who was not replaced. I didn’t like the Colome signing and so far he has done nothing for me to allay my fears about that. I have to believe that the lineup will turn around, however, the bullpen seems worrying to me. We finally are getting glimpses of the stars that Berrios and Buxton can become, hopefully we can get this back on track

Bloom has no credibility left after this, tough spot for a GM. Plus he was dealing with former colleague in Friedman, just looks bad

Good first move. I’d like to see another starter and two more relievers. I’d guess Perez could be a lefty in the pen the . Pretty interesting trade, I’m guessing that Balazovic may need to be moved, so this gets another high end arm to replace him at that level.

Not terribly surprised. Twins reliever trade updates: Givens has a 2 inning save against TB, throwing 96-97, but little wild.

What a late surge by the Kernels to make the playoffs!

Just like Kirby, his class and likability will help with HOF voters in my opinion

Seems like Rice was careful with his outings based on the stats above

Hoping Rutledge gets to them, but I doubt it. I’m guessing Langeliers. As Tom opined, I’m guessing Rortvedt May be dealt

Stroman and Smith would be my favorites to target. It’s always difficult the 1st year back from TJ as you can see with Pineda. Smith slots in nicely for Mejia

I’d like Stroman or MadBum for starters and Will Smith out of the pen. MadBum and Smith will be FA after the season.

Well the FO look like geniuses now and I was completely wrong. With Kluber’s unfortunate injury, we now have to be the favorites to win the division. I know I’m looking ahead, but if we can get ahead in the standings by some distance, Cleveland may throw up the white flag and continue to trade people. Now that we’ve finished with the Astros, our next kryptonite, the somewhat depleted Bronx Bombers

I’m not really worried about Lewis. Smeltzer and Graterol dealing for the Blue Wahoos

After a couple of horrible years, the Twins now have an opening to become a force in the Twin Cities sports market. While we all know this will always be a Vikings town, it has been an abysmal year for Minnesota pro sports, with the Vikings, Wild and Wolves failing to even make the playoffs, the Twins have the opportunity to become a force in the market. The Twins have gotten off to a good start, with young guys, Polanco, Berios, Kepler and Buxton leading the way. While we Twins fans joke, Astudillo could really be the type of player that captures the fascination of the fans. Once the draft is completed, the Twins will have the file to themselves, so a successful season could bring this club back to relevance in this market

Unbelievable arms coming up through the system.

For a franchise who are notorious slow starters, hope reigns eternal. Really really like Cruz in this lineup
