Urbina, Severino and really other minor leaguers need break out seasons. The Twins traded some of their top prospects in 2022, more need to progress or find others.

I admit, I am surprised. But what else? Are we all in? If we are there has to be more. Are there opt outs?

One?

Barring contract renewals, Baldelli is signed through 2023, Falvey and Levine through 2024.

Good. Twins need any and all catchers

I have seen conflicting articles where the Twins signed minor league free agent infielder Johan Camargo on 11/27/2022. Elsewhere minor league catcher Jair Camargo is listed as re-signing. Who did the Twins sign? Johan Camargo (INF) or Jair Camargo (C) or both?

Eovaldi's worth a try even if for 1 year. What do the Twins want to accomplish, that is a realistic question

Andrew McCutcheon if he has anything left could/should be an option. Better all around player and right handed and cheaper based on 2022 salary

Another lefty hitter? Who comes off the 40 man roster? More must be coming.

Who is the architech and what is the plan? The rumors or speculation are either fantasy and wishful thinking or idiotic.

Short term affect if signed would have been fine. Long term disaster. It would also force the braintrust to keep spending or act like they wanted to play with big boys. Evaluate and develop your players and make Minnesota be a free agent destination. Something lacking already.

Interesting that all who were in consideration for relief pitcher of the year who are eligible for the Rule V Draft were not added to the 40 man roster.

Agree on the obvious. Twins should non tender a few to protect a few more to not lose a Laweryson, Helman or even Kiersey. Some non tenders can be easily replaced with medium or high range free agents. But, they need to sign right away and not wait for the scraps.

Jeffers may be able to frame, but he is a below average catchers and hitter. Catcher has to be a priority and will have to over pay and maybe give up a lot for 2 decent catchers, instead of juggling each year. Unless some of the low level catchers come out of nowhere, the catching depth is bad at major league level and that us on management

I would love to see an anonymous evaluation from other MLB managers and GM's opinion of the Twins. I wouldn't be pretty.
