Would you trade Ryan Jeffers for Hunter Greene? There is potential here!!

While the Twins shoudl prioritize bullpen over rotation, this could be a decent trade.  WHile bullpen is a bigger need, our rotation isnt exactly world beaters.

Joe Ryan is solid, but are his recent struggles and "arm fatigue" something to be concerned about?

Taj  Bradley coudl actually be considered the potential new Ace of the rotataion if you buy into Ryan's struggles.

Ober has been better in July, but can you fully rely on him going forward?

Zebby has ZERO track record of being a sustained quality starter

Prielipp has been actually fairly good over his last 4 but again no proven history.

A rotation arm could DEFINITELY help this group.

Factor in Green coming back from his own elbow, and maybe you coudl even just move him to the bullpen to finish out the year and start fresh next year with him in the rotation. This would ease him back in from an innings perspective. Could he have an Aroldis Chapman type impact on a bullpen??

"but wait... the Reds are in last place, why would they want to take on Jeffers?" you may be asking.. My answer is  "they wouldn't!!"

But you know who WOULD? The Yankees!!  lets make this a 3 team trade.

With the Twins and Yankees both being hypothetical playoff hopefuls and buyers, neither would want to downgrade major league club for prospects. This is where the Reds come in. they WILL move MLB players for prospects because they are going nowhere this year.

SO...

Twins send Jeffers to New York...  New York sends prospects to Cinci...  Cinci sends Greene to the Twins.

I am not sure what prospects the Yankees would give up, or who the Reds may want from the Yankees farm, but there are options here. The Yankees would definitely up some good prospects to acquire Jeffers, but why not just send those prospects to the Reds instead and we take Greene?

Who says no?

I may just make this my long shot trade deadline call of the year!!!  BOOK IT!!!
