Disappointment was the prevailing theme in a 9-3 loss, but the Sox are a resilient bunch. They'll be ready Thursday, and so will the fans.

Part of me thinks very much they want to sell the franchise. Tom keeps saying he's committed for the long haul. But I don't know why the investors would jump in knowing they only have a limited voice unless a payday was waiting.

That was sort of the job this year, keep him healthy and get him going. They kept him healthy. I don't know after a down-up-down season if there will be an opportunity again to get him going.

They have partial owners to answer to, a group that owns at least 35 percent of the club. And it was because of those investors that the club debt went from $500m to a much more manageable (I'm guessing $180-200m), which would mean their debt service payment is more reasonable.

I don't disagree. He was inconsistent the final 7 weeks. He chased too much. The best things he did this season were stay on the field and become a good 1B. But they need much more production out of him long term.

#MNTwins win the season finale 6-4. They finish the year with a 77-85 record. Disappointing record given their aspirations at the deadline. But there are definitely a lot of talented young players here. Now, it's on ownership to help the Twins build around that group for 2027.

Royce Lewis his his 15th homer. He also stole 16 bases. Lewis, who cited pitch selection as leading to a tough finish, said Byron Buxton told him a 15-15 season is a "mini 30-30." He's proud of staying healthy enough to play in 140 games between MLB and Triple A. #MNTwins

Jeff Hoffman wasn't recovering as well as he'd like, hence the trip to the IL because the #MNTwins aren't in a playoff push. Didn't need an MRI. Belief is it isn't joint or ligament related and should be knocked out with rest and recovery.
