Frankly, I deal Martin and pitching prospect plus a guy for Means or someone like that next year (or even now).....get a legit number 2/3 that is under contract for 3 years......

Gallo to Yankees and the Rangers go for volume in prospects rather than the Yankees top prospects. In the Twins case and I suppose most teams it is far better to go for quality over quantity. If

I'm really glad the Twins moved Cruz so early because it appears they're having difficulty convincing anyone else to bite well ahead of the deadline... which is something of a nightmare scenario for t

I'll say Shannon Stewart was their biggest deadline acquisition. ?

Twins need to trade Pineda, and Simmons. Makes no sense to hold on to either guy going in to Free Agency. I don't think we can give away either Robles or Colume but there should be a market for Pineda at least.

Both Kenta and Josh are likely on the bad side of their contracts after this season, moving them while they're still playing well is probably efficient asset management.

At the same time, with Maeda's contract as inexpensive as it is, how bad is the bad side of that contract?

He's probably not going to have another 2020, but I think his inconsistency this year might mean that trading him now would be selling a bit low. His good starts this year show the upside that's there.

I would like there to be someone in the Twins' rotation to give them a chance to win on a regular basis.

If they deal any of Maeda, Buxton, Kepler, or Rogers I am going to be sorely disappointed. There is no reason we should not be expected to compete in 2022. Buxton is imperative to keep, regardless. I think a Josh Donaldson trade is good, especially if we can dump his salary. Free it up for a Buxton extension and an Ace/Closer FA signing. I think in the offseason we need to pursue Pineda, Robles, and Simmons, try to get 2 of those 3. Also picking up the aforementioned Ace or Closer, and we are set to compete in '22, with the sky being the limit for '23.

And that's fair. The risk on Maeda is ridiculously low, I was speaking solely to the ability to maximize value from him.

I'm also completely okay with not trading him.

Well, he does need some fixing too. In 76 IP this year, he has 56 K and 56 BB.

On Buxton, there's no excuse not to do an extension. I think Berrios not only wanted FMV, but probably would have wanted a premium on that to stay. But if you are going to trade him, you're not going to get substantially more now than in the off-season.

Pineda was NOT traded per Do-Hyoung Park.

Epic failure. They did some great stuff this deadline, but this makes zero sense. Get an extension on him......call up Winder and Barnes.
