2019 Twins. Let's get it done.

This has to be my best quote I have heard on MLB radio so many times. https://twitter.com/caseystern/status/625683269330317312?lang=en

I'm not saying everyone should be on the block.

 

Anyone think Houston still wins the World Series without trading for Verlander?

They should be trying now.  Maybe now that analytics have taken a more prominent role the idea of trading earlier in the season will seem less taboo?

 

Stroman - get it done.

I don't think a starting pitcher is what the Twins should pursue, at least not right now. If Berrios, Gibson, Odorizzi and Perez can continue to perform well we will be in good shape. Keep in mind that only 4 starters are used in the postseason. I think the bullpen is where we should look to upgrade.

Last time we were there, we used only 2.

Offensively, the team is weak at 3B and 1B and 4th OFer. Sano is coming back so that helps. I think Cave can be an adequate fill-in when needed but we could upgrade there. Realistically, Polanco is going to slow down and we probably will need a bit more depth down the line. I do think Sano helps a lot here, since Gonzalez might be the ideal depth guy.

 

Bullpen seems the obvious place to improve. Baldelli doesn't seem to trust Romero and Mejia yet and May and Hildy are on pace to pitch in 70+ games. I think one more arm that we could trust to eat innings or someone like Kimbrall to lock down the back of the pen and push everyone down a notch would help.
