All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

Anyone see how good Alcala has been in Boston. The fact the twins have him away for Joey Wentz is a fireable offense. You need to FIX Alcala. That’s what you’re being paid to do is fix him.

The Twins tried for 6 years to fix him. It wasn't happening here. Need to see a little more than 12 innings from him in Boston before declaring him fixed.

Fireable offense?!?

First off the trade wasn't for Wentz but a Boston farmhand.

Twins trade Alcala to Red Sox for Minor League infielder Andy Lugo

MINNEAPOLIS – After claiming left-handed reliever Joey Wentz off waivers on Wednesday, the Twins had to clear a spot on the roster. They did so by trading reliever Jorge Alcala to the Red Sox for Minor League infielder Andy Lugo.

Good for Alcala to get on track and the Red Sox to do whatever to help him out, but in 13 games only 2 were a single run margin of victory.

All the rest were ultimately 3 or more runs. More than half have been blowouts of 5+.

Not exactly high leverage situations.

I wanted the Twins to forfit tonight game but Buxton on the 2nd pitch hit a homerun.

Royce Lewis with 4 hits the last two games. Hamstring pull in 3, 2...

Nothing the Twins could do. They ran into a scorching hot Dodgers team.

Check that. Looks like the Dodgers were actually reeling, getting swept in 3 of the last 4 series.

Correa was oh so close.

I don’t get why he is booed wherever he goes. That was so long ago and the guys terrible now. Let it go people.

The teams that lost to the Astros in the Playoffs/World Series seem to have longer and louder memories.

As they should, since they now have a better record than only 3 teams in the American League. First half of the season is a failure that earned the manager another year.

I mean the Twins did hit the crap out of the ball, especially in the last two innings.

I would think Jax is quite marketable.

I'd keep Jax and trade Duran. Duran is worth more and at peak value. His elbow is also more likely to explode.

I think Jax would fetch more than Duran.

I would deal both.

I agree. At this point, deal em both.
