His metrics were a bit iffy even before signing with the Twins and then he absolutely collapsed. It means little to me that he's been able to right the ship now that the team is out of the race for the post-season. Get new arms in the pen.

He has a 1 million dollar buy out. I wonder if the Twins exercise that buy out and maybe bring him back for another 2 million or something. I wouldn't hate that and if some other team wants to pay much more than that...ok fine sign someone else. The bottom line for me is I wouldn't hate to see him come back but I am also not going to shed any tears if he goes. If he really tears it up the rest of the way maybe he opts out...lol ok that's not going to happen.

-Griffin Jax had a nice night, but he looks quite hittable to me. Good kid, but not in any of my plans for a future starter.

-Miguel Sano does not look like the same guy we watched struggling the first half of the season. His at bats look much more like rookie Sano than early 2021 Sano. There's a genuine buzz in the stadium every time he gets in the box again.

-I've never seen a HR hit as hard as the one Zimmer hit off Jax. They said 446 feet, but we all thought 500+. It hit the batter's eye in center hard enough to dent it. He and his teammates were laughing as he rounded the bases...they couldn't believe it.

-Jose Ramirez is really a character...never stops talking on the dugout steps.

-Arraez is a hitting machine who will win a batting title before he is 30. Plus, he plays the game with more joy than anyone else on the team with the possible exception of Tottuga.

-Great to see Colome pitching so well. He and Rogers will be a great end of game combo next year.

-This team is fun to watch again, and Buxton will be back soon.

It's sad that Maeda ran for Donaldson cause he's faster.

Mitch Garver looks like himself again it's great to see.

Colome 8th straight outing being good.

Minya change up is filthy and he was off today but still got the job done.

Jeffers now the all time leader in home runs for rookie catcher in Twins history with 11

I don't know what the Twins should do with Polanco at the end of the year. It's almost like Dozier 2.0 with him.

Also per Gleeman Twitter

Great return to High-A action for #MNTwins pitching prospect Matt Canterino, who had been out since May with an elbow injury.

Three shutout, no-hit innings, striking out eight of the 10 batters he faced.

Canterino now has a 0.78 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 23 innings this season.

Polonco isn't the player Dozier was at his height. Dozier was in the conversation for MVP a couple seasons. Personally I don't think Polonco has done enough in his career the Twins would get a haul big enough to trade him.

Did anyone notice the Dodgers pitching prospect the Twins passed on for a Dozier trade earlier Jose Deleon was let go and pretty much available to any team?

I watched Donaldson "run" in a highlight of a recent game. Dude looks like he has a pretty bad wheel. It's kinda fun that Maeda is running for someone but it's also kinda concerning. My guess is he has some pretty good speed.
