My bold prediction is that Kyle Gibson will not be in the 2015 rotation. He's young(ish), he's controlable and he could be the Twins version of Rick Porcello, where he has value due to these factors along with his former top prospect status.

 

My prediction is that the Twins will move Gibson as part of a package to get Gio Gonzalez who Washington will be willing to move so they can free up some money in an attempt to go after one of the top bats or an even bigger named pitcher like Scherzer or Lester in free agency this off season.

 

No way.

No way. 

 

It is always bold to predict an exact trade, so I won't state the obvious that the exact trade won't happen.  I just don't think Gibson is going anywhere either.

 

When the Twins can get a pitcher that will pitch 180-200 IP with a 4.00 ERA or less and that guy makes $500K, they salivate.
