Jolly OliveGUEST
Joe Ryan and Taj Bradley.
Jolly OliveGUEST
That was a good trade for them.
Jolly OliveGUEST
Kind of win-win with the Griffin Jacks thing.
Phil MackeyHOST
The fact that the fact that Luke, he shall took a big step forward.
Phil MackeyHOST
Taj Bradley had a career season.
Phil MackeyHOST
Um, so I'm going to say this whenever they play baseball again in the next season, the twins will make the playoffs in the next season of major league baseball.
Phil MackeyHOST
They will make the playoffs.

Declan GoffHOST
And he actually did, I think, do a decent enough job where he might still show up on the ballot there.
Declan GoffHOST
So the first leg is he'll get at least one vote.
Declan GoffHOST
Taj Bradley will get Cy Young votes.
Declan GoffHOST
But the final piece, not a single twin will appear on the MVP ballot.
Brett RutherfordHOST
You trade Archer, but you've got Blake Snell, and you're also bringing in Tyler Glassnow, who you believe is an elite starter waiting to develop.
Brett RutherfordHOST
You trade Blake Snell, but you've still got Glassnow, and you trade Glassnow, and you've got Shane McClanahan and Taj Bradley and Ryan Pepeo and Drew Rasmussen.
Brett RutherfordHOST
Yeah.
Brett RutherfordHOST
Like now, if you trade Rasmussen, I just don't see the controllable starters that you can really trust beyond Pepeo, who didn't pitch this year.
Phil MackeyHOST

Phil MackeyHOST
Taj Bradley had a career season.

Dan HayesHOST
And there's a young group that has shown that it should be – augmented the roster should be augmented around them because there are, there is a lot of fun days ahead from Walker Jenkins, from Kalen Culpepper, from Luke Keyshaw, from Emmanuel Rodriguez and Connor Prelip.
Dan HayesHOST
And then, you know, beyond them, Taj Bradley, and he's a little older and not their own guy, but you know, Taj Bradley and Zebby

Matthews
Dan HayesHOST
and Brooks Lee.
Declan GoffHOST
I wouldn't hate them also adding another starting pitcher.
Declan GoffHOST
Is that Dustin May? I don't think they'll go out and get Michael King, but they have to, I think, still be prepared that Their current setup in a starting rotation, assuming Pablo is healthy and ready to rock on opening day, of Pablo, Joe Ryan, and Taj Bradley, I think is a very formidable three-man rotation, but Joe Ryan has had injuries and ineffectiveness.
Declan GoffHOST
Pablo Lopez missed all of last season.
Declan GoffHOST
I think you're riding too much if you're just assuming that those three can hold everything down.

Greg HoogkampHOST
On the pitching side of things, they had two pitchers with at least 70 innings and an ERA under four.
Greg HoogkampHOST
Taj Bradley had a really good season and got better as the year went on.
Greg HoogkampHOST
373 ERA.
Greg HoogkampHOST
Joe Ryan, 379.
Greg HoogkampHOST
And then three pitchers with a K-minus walk of 15% or more.
Greg HoogkampHOST
Ryan, 20.8. Bradley, 17.2. And Connor Prelip at 15.7. Their wins leader was Taj Bradley with 12.
Greg HoogkampHOST
And their saves leader, Yoandris Gomez with 21.
Greg HoogkampHOST
So I had the 2029 lineup article for the Twins, and I was looking through at all the players that were leaving via free agency, and I'm like, man, this is scraping the bottom here because they have no veterans at all sticking around for any sort of time.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
So it's not like the Twins need him.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
But again, if you're just looking at overall health of the organization, because the Twins do have this pitching depth now with Joe Ryan, with Pablo Lopez, with Taj Bradley, with Mick Abel, with Dean Kramer, with Zebby Matthews, with Connor Prelip, and these guys.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
But keep in mind, after 2027, this does change drastically, because Pablo Lopez is not under contract past next season.
CJ BaumgartnerHOST
Neither is Joe Ryan.
Rob DiPietroHOST
But, you know, there was like Reed Detmers for a buck who was like in 66 leagues.
Rob DiPietroHOST
Dominic Canzone, Todd Bradley.
Rob DiPietroHOST
It was like some guys that were drafted in like, like a good chunk of leagues for a buck that really paid off.
Rob DiPietroHOST
But the next, like the two or three dollar guys, goes Jordan Walker, Miguel Vargas, Jake McCarthy, Parker Messick, Carson Benj, Luis Garcia, McGonigal, Cavalli, Logan Henderson, Josh Bell.
