That's what happens when 44% of your teammates are traded away. More focus on one's personal stats and future. Sure it will go over well with Twins' fans.

caulfield12 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) Twins getting the next Field of Dreams game against Phils...likely Aug 2027. https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/mlb-will-play-field-of-dreams-game-in-2026-featuring-phillies-and-twins-in-august-showcase-event-175958597.html Surprised it's not the Brewers, though...or Twins vs. Brewers would be a bit better at least because of the regional rivalry. Twins likely to be also rans at that point in the season. Phillies might need to do a retooling without Wheeler as key pieces are aging out.

Autumn Dreamin Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Quote The Twins eliminated their entire four-person pro scouting staff, multiple league sources confirmed on Tuesday night. Though the terminations were telegraphed by how the scouts operated in previous years, staff members learned early Tuesday their positions would not be renewed. The department’s elimination is part of cost-cutting measures by ownership, one league source said. Longtime pro scout Ken Compton, who was in his 39th season as a scout and 15th with the club, along with fellow pro scout John Manuel, formerly the editor in chief of Baseball America, were among those informed their positions had been eliminated. Fellow pro scouts Keith Stohr and Jose Marzan, a former Twins farmhand who’d spent 30-plus years in the organization in a variety of coaching and scouting roles, also were let go. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6636141/2025/09/16/minnesota-twins-pro-scouting-department-developments/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 To be fair, I read the article by Dan Hayes, though I don't have a link to share. The Twins had a 5 man team for advanced scouting and kept 1 of the 5. It was also stated that this is becoming more common place in MLB as teams are using video scouting more and more. Not saying it's good, bad, or otherwise. Just saying the Twins aren't the only teams cutting back in this particular department (Cubs basically did the same thing last offseason). twinstalk.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Cleveland is only 3.5 back of Detroit. They probably won't win the division since there's 9 games left, but I did not expect them to get this close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DET looks bad on both sides of the ball and Cleveland is just a professional organization. They're never out of it. DET loses 10-1 against a team that is 12 games below .500 and CLE wins again (against the worst team in the league). Thinking about their respective series vs the Sox. Outside of likely Cy Young winner Skubal, DET looked like they didn't prepare at all for the series. Their pitching got rocked. Meanwhile, the Guardians actually attacked the Sox players' weaknesses as though they had done some advance scouting and were able to sweep a bad team despite some good pitching on our end. It would so wild if Detroit is the team to fall out of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 I've thought the Tigers were overperforming for a while, but I didn't expect the regression to happen all at once like this. Worse record than the Sox in the last 20 games, and we just ended a 6L. Meanwhile Guards are 15-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Looking like it might be just a one game lead if CLE can sweep DH against Minnesota... 5 consecutive losses by Tigers. Boos raining down in Detroit. Benetti lucky to be doing NCAAF instead. Braves on a run of their of their own...albeit way too late.

nrockway Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) Cleveland just 1.5 back now from Detroit! A very impressive turnaround. 1 back from Boston and Houston who play later. I'd think Houston is the favorite vs Seattle since they're at home and Framber is on the mound (he's lights out at home). I think the Rays have the pitching advantage vs Boston. Kyle Harrison is getting his second start as a Red Sox and Houser is kind of a wild card to me. This has to be the most interesting WC race since the expansion.

chw42 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 This is probably one of the worst collapses I can remember. Detroit has basically been in first place all season. Now they might miss the playoffs altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 The Guardians still have a negative run differential on the season. They haven't been all that good this year, but they're getting hot at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
