All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

Sure but the trade occurred before 7/31.

I'm aware but I don't think that was the case with this one.
Dave Hollins was traded from the Twins to Seattle on August 29, 1996 (he had to pass through waivers, then the Twins traded him to Seattle). The deal was simply for a PTBNL. What usually happens is the two teams agree on a list of players and the team receiving the PTBNL has until an agreed upon date to say who they want. That's what happened with Ortiz, going from Seattle to Minnesota.
 


Hahah Ken Rosenthal being an ahole . What is it with sports reporters being the worst humans? Sid, Rosie, Mike Max included in being self important knobs. The athletes they report on are more gracious and humble than these wanna bees. Note. Geo. Darkstarr was also a kid shovin me first loserZ

I think he’s gone this winter. I also have no faith the current front office will get something back in return who can play. That’s what makes the bullpen trades this season so bad. They traded away everything and who’s knows if anyone they got can play. The pitchers are far from rookies and have been bad. I will always have that Joe Ryan signed ball though.
I once read it usually takes a good year or two to know if the trades are successful or not.

Bradley has made four starts -

First was brutal
Second was one ER in 5 innings
Third was mediocre
Fourth was a quality start.

In his last two starts he’s gotten 25%+ of his strikes have been swinging- anything over-13/14% is elite. Can all that talent be consistently harnessed 🤷‍♂️

Rojas started the year Double A threw 18 innings before being bumped to AAA; he was in A ball last year. Will he develop into a starting lefty 🤷‍♂️

The position players on Low minors 🤷‍♂️

SWR has exceeded my expectations and I’m likely not the only one, to become a valuable and regularly available member of the staff😀

Most things sux about getting older, but bring more patient in my experience, isn’t one of them - I was a Type AAA

11Ks in 7 innings; 16 first pitch strikes for the 22 batters he faced - Wow, one of the best starting efforts this year on the staff.

Cheeks in the mail and thanks for helping me get one right😀
