Twins Planning To Reduce Payroll

The Twins anticipate scaling back player payroll this offseason, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey told reporters at the GM Meetings (link via Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune). The Twins opened the 2023 season with an estimated $154MM figure, according to Cot’s Baseball Contracts — about $20MM north of the previous organizational high. “We’ve…

Minnesota Twins right-hander Bailey Ober has been named the team's starter for Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the Houston Astros on the road. Ober will be coming in on plenty of rest after not pitching in the two-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays in the wild-card series, but he'll have a tough matchup against Houston on his hands. The 28-year-old was sent to the minors for mental and physical rest in September, and he was excellent to close out the regular season with a 2.08 ERA, three walks and 26 strikeouts in 21 2/3 frames over four starts. Ober didn't face the Astros at all in the regular season. He'll be a DFS sleeper on Saturday and has pitched to a 3.57 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 75 K's in 68 innings in his 12 starts on the road in 2023.

Joe Ryan, Bailey Ober Could Start Game 1 Against Astros

The Minnesota Twins haven't announced who will start for them in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the Houston Astros, but the likeliest candidates are right-hander Joe Ryan, who was scheduled to start Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Toronto Blue Jays, and righty Bailey Ober, who looked great in his final regular season start last Sunday. Ober wasn't included on the roster for the wild-card series, but the Twins have dropped hints he'll pitch at some point in the ALDS. He was sent to the minors in September for mental and physical rest, and he went 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 26 K's in 21 2/3 innings since returning on Sept. 15. Ryan hasn't been nearly as great since returning from the Injured List on Aug. 26, and he had a 4.79 ERA in seven second-half starts.

Bailey Ober Tosses Gem In Regular Season Finale

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober was excellent on Sunday in a 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Ober tossed six and two-thirds innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits and posting a 9:0 K:BB ratio. It is a continuation of what we've seen all season long from the righty, who has posted a 3.43 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and 146:29 K:BB ratio over 144 IP. Ober has made a strong case to be included in the Twins rotation during the postseason, but with him pitching on the final day of the regular season he will likely be left off the roster for the Wild Card series. He could make a start in the Division Series should the Twins make it that far.

Bailey Ober Recalled To Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins right-hander Bailey Ober has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to make the start on Friday against the Chicago White Sox in an excellent matchup. Ober was initially sent to the minors so that the Twins could manage his workload, and the 28-year-old ended up making just one appearance for St. Paul. He's thrown 145 1/3 innings between the majors and minors this year after never surpassing 109 frames in a season before in his career. Ober has a nice 3.67 ERA through 22 starts for the Twins in 2023, and he's unsure if he'll be limited at all the rest of the way. Since the All-Star break, he has a rough 5.85 ERA in eight starts, but the matchup against the Pale Hose will be too good to pass up to kick off the weekend.
