Let’s see what Archer can do

It’s literally Christmas in Twins Territory right now, yet it is currently 90°F+ outside & no snow in sight. Key Acquisitions • RHP Jorge Lopez • RHP Tyler Mahle • RHP Michael Fulmer • C Sandy Leon Questions for Discussion - please stick to the realm of these questions 1. What grade do you give Falvey & Levine for these moves? 2. What do you think of what was done? Does it make the team better? Why or why not? 3. Are the Twins better suited to make the postseason this year? If they make the postseason, are they better suited to win a game and (possibly) a series if/when they get there? 4. How do these moves change the outlook for 2023 and beyond?

Twins need a new pair of Sox No need to go out and buy a new pair, they can borrow from me. I have plenty

Great work, Falvine!

If they 'planned to fail,' then that's infuriating. That is calling blatant tanking. More likely they 'didn't plan well'. They expected the farm system to fill in holes on the big-league roster, which is a bit ambitious.

Jose Miranda is a joy to watch

That is ****ing amazing

Why can’t we hit a lick against these guys?

So, Joe Ryan. Joe Ryan was acquired in a trade between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Minnesota Twins in July of the 2021 MLB Season. The Twins sent DH Nelson Cruz to Tampa Bay in exchange for RHP Joe Ryan and RHP Drew Strotman. Right now, that's looking like a damn good trade for the Twins. Cruz was highly mediocre in his two months with Tampa. Joe Ryan, on the other hand, looked promising in 2021. Maybe a future TOR arm for the Twins. The Twins really believed in Joe Ryan, evidenced by the fact that he started on opening day. His 2022 season thus far has been...uhh... ...mixed to say the least. Ryan has nonetheless been a solid starter for the Twins in 2021, but his 'slump' has called into question whether or not he actually has the tools to make him a TOR arm one day. However, sophomore slumps are a thing and Ryan only pitched 26.2 innings in 2021, so 2022 is his first full season as a starter. Questions for Discussion 1. What is the ceiling for Joe Ryan? (vote above) 2. What do you expect from Joe Ryan in 2023? Why?

Darn. Was looking forward to pounding him in the 9th.

Not like that.

Okay, we actually need to put something together here

Thanks, we know that already

That’s a weak response…if I’ve ever seen one.

Well ****

Respect the Byron, Grisham

That would certainly be helpful

You know, I’ve been wondering that same thing

Miranda is a beast

Now that Melvin got himself ejected, the Twins have zero excuse to not win this game.

Well. Same ****, different story.

Dick said that New York has access to more angles than they do.

Wow
