Dan HayesHOST
Um, that ended up being an overpay, but yeah, They got Michael, Michael Taylor.
Dan HayesHOST
They got Donovan Solano for 2 million bucks at the end of spring training.
Dan HayesHOST
And they inched their way up to like one 56.7 million dollars that year.
Dan HayesHOST
It's the depth pieces that will be where they probably spend.
TJ MathewsonHOST
[laughs] Look, man.
TJ MathewsonHOST
We outlined a scenario on that, on that mailbag question that we answered where you said, like, "What if they played, like, 15 games?" And I said, "No, Donovan Solano is not allowed to be the manager of the Seattle Mariners."
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
Okay.
TJ MathewsonHOST
So-
Gregory T. MastersonHOST
Because if you think about it, I, for years, was really complimentary of the way that the Twins built their bench, their extended roster, kind of climaxing in 2023.
Gregory T. MastersonHOST
And if you look at my writing from 2023, I was basically exclusively writing about... how great of a fit Willie Castro is, or like trying to get, figure out like exactly what is Kyle farmer's role and what's Donovan Solano here to do.
Gregory T. MastersonHOST
Right.
Gregory T. MastersonHOST
Because that's the stuff that, that gets me really excited.
Bob SteltonHOST
It wasn't some godsend offensively and, oh, what would we do without him? He was more about who he was in that clubhouse, which was great.
Bob SteltonHOST
But in terms of production, Donovan Solano, Ref Snyder.
Bob SteltonHOST
all these vets you bring in they're just they're massive misses and and the the i don't know what drove me nuts is just sticking with them as much inserting them in the lineup as often as they did and i understand you got to get a guy going you got to give them a time give them time to find a rhythm but man they did it to the detriment of the team in my opinion especially with ref snyder this year so many times where it was just oh lefty on the hill he's in I was like, why? Yeah.
Bob SteltonHOST
Why? Why is
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Yeah.
Colby PatnodeHOST
He might be setting himself up to be the next Donovan Solano.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Like the guy who just signs one-year deals for four, three, four, 5 million bucks and you just kinda play him wherever you have a hole and he's probably gonna, you know, hit enough to you'll be happy with it.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Uh, yeah, I love JP.
Raphie CantorHOST
And that was also a team that got red hot at the end that we got red hot by an offense that took off from very, very unlikely contributors.
Raphie CantorHOST
You know, in that case, it was David Peralta and Donovan Solano and company, as long with, you know, other stars getting hot jerks and profile having a, you know, success due to questionable methods.
Raphie CantorHOST
We don't need to get into that.
Raphie CantorHOST
But no questions.
Darren SmithHOST
I don't remember Nick Ahmed.
Darren SmithHOST
Luis Arias, Xander Bogart, Jake Cronenworth, Manny Machado, Donovan Solano, Tyler Wade, and your outfield of Jackson Merrill, Brandon Lockridge, David Peralta, Jerickson Profar, and Fernando Tatis Jr.
Darren SmithHOST
So just 10 of those guys are still here with the team in 2026.
Darren SmithHOST
I don't know.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Yes.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
And again, like we talked about last week, if you're gonna go spend $5 to $8 million on a free agent or two, you know, like you have the last few years where you've gone out and you've gotten Donovan Solano, or you've gotten Rob Refsnyder, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, go out and get, instead of a bat only, you know, a guy that matches lefties who winds up not matching lefties and gets DFA'd in a couple months' time.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Mm-hmm.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Instead of doing that, get a guy that has multiple, has multiple paths to contributing, guys that can, that, that can help you defensively and on the base paths and, and stuff like that.
Grant BronsdonHOST
We spent so much of last season...
Grant BronsdonHOST
Zach, you had your own bit week over week of where in the world is Donovan Solano among all-time terrible baseball seasons.
Grant BronsdonHOST
And...
Grant BronsdonHOST
I suppose, fortunately, but for our sake, unfortunately, he had one good month toward the end of his time here that brought up his numbers that he was no longer absolutely putrid.
Ty Dane GonzalezHOST
Yeah.
Colby PatnodeHOST
Or, or Donovan Solano.
Colby PatnodeHOST
And we're gonna talk about a lot of these guys.
Colby PatnodeHOST
We're gonna talk a lot about Lane Thomas and, and like, you know, guys like that and, and we're gonna have a couple trade candidates who are glove first and you kind of hope the bat comes along, but like there's gonna be stopgaps too, because Colt Emerson could be a part of helping your defense, but we have to be sure he's a major leaguer and, and we don't know that he is yet.
