You can draw a direct line from Kirby Puckett going blind and both Simeon Woods Richardson and Austin Martin making the Twins Opening Day roster in 2026

It doesn’t taste factually good it tastes morally good. I don’t know how else to explain it
A take: no one actually likes old-fashioneds. They’re a trash drink and people pretend to enjoy them to look cultured or something but not one person living or dead has actually put that in their mouths and gone, “Yes, good.”

I would totally get a Daniel Susac bootleg jersey but it breaks one of my jersey rules, so I won’t.

If the Twins want to try to fill the backup catcher spot in the Rule 5, I think Daniel Susac is a name to target.
11th ranked A’s prospect per MLB
24 years old
Solid defender
.275/.349/.483 at AAA last season
Good rep handling pitchers
18 HR but 109 Ks in 407 PAs

I learned today that apparently Louis CK claims to have accidentally driven into George Bush’s motorcade, making me fear that when I’ve told people that my portly, ginger, bald father once drove into George Bush’s motorcade, they think I’m lying, or worse, that Louis CK is my father

Romo could have been a decent waiver pickup for the Twins. He’s looked horrible at the plate, but he’s very good defensively. He has 2 options left, and you could absolutely make a case that he’s a better C3 option than Gasper and Pareda
The Colorado #Rockies have announced the following roster moves:
RHP Anthony Molina has been claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves.
C Drew Romo has been claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Orioles.
The Rockies' 40-man roster sits at 38.
Surprising news out of Colorado.

Everyone is reacting to today’s Ryan/Lopez/Buxton trade rumors with “sell the team,” but why would anyone want to sell a team with the best farm system in baseball??? Eating’s about to get real good!

Putting on my tinfoil hat, Falvey is leaking to the media that the (very wise decision to sell high on 30 year-old starting pitchers) would be a financial decision—instead of a baseball decision—pushing the blame and scorn onto cheap pohlad

I think one thing Twins fans need to come to grips with is that spending on the bullpen to fix it is a losing effort. You can probably get a couple setup-ish guys for a fair money, but the backend is going to need to be internal—Festa, Raya, Prielipp, Klein. Someone has to get big

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am thankful for you, even the haters and losers.

Sorting Through 20 Potential 2026 Twins Outfielders Already in the Organization
Let’s just cut to the chase, because there's a lot to discuss. The Twins already have a ton of outfielders. When I asked Twitter this week about how many internal options the Twins have in the outfiel...

This winter features what just might be the most divisive case we’ve seen for a free agent in years.
We’re talking about Luis Arraez, who is either “the best contact hitter alive” or “a below-average ...

I have dozens of people over on Twitter telling me that I’m stupid for a very good take (there’s no value in frozen pizza when you can just drive down the road to Dominos or Little Caesars)

If we’re operating under the assumption that the Twins need to acquire this offseason:
3 relievers
1 catcher
1 1B/DH
They’ve now traded for 2 of those players, and by raw salary their projected payroll sits at 88M with 3 more players to go.

Basically any nontender candidate player the Twins traded for today, my first reaction is “couldn’t they have gotten to them via waivers at the 4 spot?”
I don’t hate the trade for an all-glove backup catcher, but I’d prefer it wasn’t Eeles. And it saves what, 2M on a backup C?
