I don’t think the Twins bullpen is hopeless. This is a realistic option, even without additions: Conversions: Zebby Mathews David Festa Connor Prielipp The rest: Cole Sands Justin Topa Kody Funderburk Eric Orze There’s a lot of uncertainty here, but again, this is without any more adds.

My favorite oddball winter accessory: Gaiters. -Keeps snow outta your boots. -Keeps the bottom of your pants dry. -More comfortable than snow pants in milder temps.

FREE at Limestone Pipeline: @jdcameron.bsky.social previewed the MLB Draft Lottery in a nearly 20-minute audio post. The first week of LP has been a ton of fun. Next week, we have winter league highlights, a ranking of the top college draft prospects and reactions to the Winter Meetings activity.

Twins Trade Rumors: Joe Ryan and Pitching Prospects 🆕📺➡️ youtu.be/G4ZT4xi_HJA

Posted a 20-minute audio MLB Draft Lottery preview at Limestone Pipeline to give folks some #MNTwins specific context ahead of Tuesday. This one is free, access to all of our content is $4 per month, with 2026 draft rankings on the way next week. www.patreon.com/posts/2026-m...

It’s a Bandcamp Friday, where the platform waives its revenue share and passes the funds directly to artists & labels.

If the asking price for Joe Ryan is a guy like Jonah Tong, Baseball America’s MiLB Pitcher of the Year, I’m guessing he won’t be traded. The asking price could always come down the further we get into the offseason, though.

oh sure it's a federal crime when Chris Correa does it but the Pirates take the Red Sox password and everyone is cool with it

The information is laughing at us

Jeremy had a grim but astute summary of the Twins situation right now.

Sooooo … Byron Buxton is not listed among the confirmed appearances for TwinsFest. 😬 Pablo López and Joe Ryan are on that list.

TwinsFest live tickets are $118. It all benefits the Community Fund, so that’s great, but that still seems steep. TwinsFest Signature Saturday is $27, $11 for kids 12 and under.

A framed 8 1/2 x 11 photo of Terry Tiffee I found in a thrift store in North Branch. For my student newspaper application, I decided to write about that night’s Twins game to show I could be timely. It happened to be Tiffee’s MLB debut. He came off the bench and went 2-for-2 with a two-run double.

The first about 400 words of this Rule 5 Draft preview, including the name of my preferred target, is free to everyone.

In a big Rule 5 Draft preview, I ranked my top eight choices for the Twins. On the Limestone Pipeline Patreon:

I like Lord Huron.

“The Twins seemed to kick off a rebuild or retool or reset or whatever at the deadline.” Yup.

Next up at Limestone Pipeline, a draft lottery preview from @tftwins.bsky.social. I still have a week to hit my 1K target of draft lottery sims 🫠. Where do you think the Twins end up? Who are your favorite 2026 MLB Draft prospects? www.patreon.com/posts/mlb-dr...

If you're a Twins fan, I highly recommend subscribing to this. As someone who's been through the doldrums of down years before , knowing what may be ahead, it keeps a person sane to think of what could be ahead. These are two of the most knowledgeable people to follow concerning Twins prospects.

Somebody messed up. Annual Gleeman and the Geek Patreon memberships are available for about the cost of a bag of Target Field peanuts per month. Hurry! Somebody's totally getting canned for this. www.patreon.com/Gleeman/join @aarongleeman.bsky.social @johnbonnes.bsky.social

Here's a quick highlight of Dasan Hill, complete with pitch types and velo. www.patreon.com/posts/dasan-...

Wrote up Jason Reitz, the Twins 6’11 righty whose been up to 98mph from a release height over 7 feet. Truly outlier physical traits, and this is a good example of what you can expect to find at Limestone Pipeline. www.patreon.com/posts/144097...

One last Emmanuel Rodriguez note: I learned tonight that his nickname is dinamita (dynamite in Spanish).

The Twins recently shut Emmanuel Rodriguez down, so he is no longer playing for Águilas. There's no indication this was related to injury. That's a bummer, but they could have prevented him from playing at all if they wanted to, and would have had some justification, since he's so injury prone.

The Dominican Winter League leader in OPS is ... Miguel Sanó Ya know, the Twins could use a first baseman ...

I'm happy for Emmanuel Rodriguez, who is shining in LIDOM. In 2022, his hometown team Águilas took him with the first overall pick in their draft. This is his first winter being able to play for them. He entered tonight with a .292/.417/.646 line (1.063 OPS) in 18 games.

Dylan Cease 2025 walks: 71 (in 168 IP) Joe Ryan 2024-25 walks: 62 (in 306 IP)

José Berríos As a Twin 781 1/3 IP, 4.08 ERA, 1.233 WHIP, 3.08 K:BB ratio As a Jay 790 1/3 IP, 4.09 ERA, 1.245 WHP, 3.19 K:BB ratio

It’s me, disingenuous stat man! (Cue theme music) 2023-25 ERA 4.16 Bailey Ober 4.18 Dylan Cease 4.22 SWR 2023-25 WHIP 1.11 Ober 1.27 Cease 1.30 SWR No need to thank me, citizen, I’m just doing my job.

I’d normally be like “who!?” and go on blissfully ignorant, but since I read @codyschoenmann.bsky.social I’m sitting here devastated, convinced the Twins entire offseason is shot.

Here’s another Twins meme for ya. Feel free to save it for future use. I didn’t create the illustration, just slapped a TC on the cap. Before we settled on Limestone Pipeline, @jdcameron.bsky.social and I considered the name Twins System Sickos. I was playing around with this as part of the logo.

I enjoy making videos, but I’m excited to write more often in 2026. It’s difficult to stay sharp unless you’re writing regularly.

Here's a Twins meme I made. Feel free to save it for your own future use. I was working on some potential design ideas for a new project (Limestone Pipeline, which launches Dec. 1) but thought it was too silly to even bother showing @jdcameron.bsky.social, my tag team partner on that project.

Launching in less than a week 😱, for #MNTwins prospect nerds.

I think Sonny Gray has been better than people realize these last two years with the Cardinals. He ranks 22nd in innings and 14th in fWAR during that time.

Twins Made a Trade, More To Come? youtu.be/wlHXZmju7fM

Misael Urbina, who was once considered a top-10 Twins prospect, reached minor league free agency earlier this month. Signed for $2.75M in the 2018-19 international class, Urbina spent each of the last three summers in Cedar Rapids, hitting .210/.323/.327 (.650 OPS) in 278 games for the Kernels.

My game story on the Frost season opener last night: Frost celebrate championship but lose season opener to Toronto Sceptres. www.twincities.com/2025/11/21/f...

Found Twins coach Nate Dammann’s old on-field beanie at the thrift store. Guessing this was from back when he was the bullpen catcher. You never know what you might find thrifting.
