Where would you play the .750 OPS Clemens? 

Dh then move him around as needed. 

[adambr2]

Offense has not been doing the bullpen any favors. 

[HarryDoyle]

I guarantee Yelich will come in to pinch hit before this is over.

That’s higher than our current regular DH .684 OPS.

Neither is the defense

[yfinn6]

Maybe Contreras just needs a full day off. Don't come in early for extra swings.. just take a rest day, or two. 

[willie key]

Hit the ball.   It’s so damn tiring 

[jason21nl]

Would be a great time for Lara to pop one

Yep. He's a bench bat who can move around in ideal world but there are ab to be had.

Why would the Twins trade him when they are buying?

He came close … he popped one up

[jason21nl]

Lara came out of the gates pretty fast but he’s seemed to have come up short in just about every big AB

There were no strike outs so they did hit the ball.

[folly412]

Lyon Richardson getting ready for the inevitable day this week when he's left in until his arm falls off then is DFA'd.

Not a fan of using Megill here - in a tie game - before the west coast trip

I take it you are comfortable with the current dh?

True.   They safe the strikeouts with guys on third and less than two outs

Home team always uses their closer in a tie game in the 9th 

[HarryDoyle]

How many callups for bullpen help tomorrow? 

[BCF]

Trevor has thrown once in the last 3 days and that was 4 total pitches

Hes fine 

Uribe and Ashby probably aren’t

You can buy and sell. Lots of teams do it. They aren't winning a world series. You have great prospects that they don't. Is he going to help them win a championship? Not likely.

What team in the AL is even that good? AL is wide open this year 

[adambr2]

Fortunate that he didn’t challenge.

I’m just fine with it. We need to win this game.

Trade for a 30 yr old career 690 OPS player and overpay by “making the Twins think twice”?
