Front Page: Assessing Eddie Rosario's Trade Market

[Kato87]

 

I get narrowing down the list, but I think there’s a few good possibilities in here:
NYY, BOS, HOU, LAD, ATL, CHC, WAS, PHI, NYM, STL, COL

I agree especially NYY and BOS... NYY Gardner is FA, Hicks' injury history, BOS has a goal to be below luxury tax; On MLB.com rumors mentioned BOS salary dumping.  Betts, Bradley, Martinez and Price possibly being traded.  I would have interested in Price 3yrs/96m remaining.  At minimum both teams have both OF and DH needs.  Not sure what other pieces would be needed for Price.

"Jake Cave and LaMonte Wade, Jr. have both proven capable of filling in until a prospect arrives."

 

Can you please explain what Wade has done to be considered a capable fill in with all of his 56 major league at bats?

Not sure what the big attraction about Wade is.  He is a AAAA player in my estimation

The Twins need to see who returns from their starters first. What is wrong with Dyson? He was damaged goods but can be an effective reliever. Gallo is an all or nothing guy that isn't worth much so I can see Texas moving him or Rosario (if they get him) to DH. Oakland and Arizona seem to be the best possible places after Texas. However, I would not trade him. We don't even know how our offense will look next year and it cannot equal this year. So Eddie had a slightly less year while others had a better year. I see both going in opposite directions- Eddie improving while others (like Garver) slipping. I just didn't like Eddie's approach against the Yankees since it looked like he was swinging wildly. Maybe he was feeling too much pressure.

Will be curious to see if the new ballpark in Arlington plays the same as the 2019 one. I would think it would be very similar. Joey Gallo played CF for them a lot this season. And, while Rosario isn't a great defensive outfielder, not sure he wouldn't be a better defensive OF than Gallo (though not sure he would be either).  

 

I think he stays. I don't think that the Twins should just trade him just to trade him. They should get a solid #3 starter for him, a reliable guy and maybe a prospect, or a couple of good prospects for him. Otherwise, just accept the HR and the hot steaks along with the wild moments and the frustrating ABs. 

Absolutely no way the Twins could get a #3 starter for him. Teams can always find players cheap to come in and hit 25+ hr's (more if they keep juiced ball) for well under 5M a year. Maybe the best thing for Eddie would be a change of scenery and hopefully he could buy into what a hitting coach could help him with plate discipline. He also needs to improve on his defense BIG TIME.
