I don't know, but it made enough sense to me to write the blog in the hope that someone wiser might comment.

Richard sounds good. My focus was on trading lower level prospects for similar prospects, but I would be happy to trade an outfield prospect and something else to get Richard.

I skipped pitchers who are injured, on the theory that the Twins have plenty of injured pitchers already.

I like the idea of looking elsewhere than just contenders for trades.
