I see the front office having big plans for Paddock this year.  He isnt getting traded.. Ditto Pagan.  That trade has to has to work out for them.   

I doubt it will. But if it leads to their exit, I guess that's an upside.

But your definitive statement that if they aren’t traded, regardless how they are doing, regardless how the Twins are doing, the pipeline is a myth … that statement is, in itself, a myth.

If that is what you’re reading into my statement then you’re also reading into something I did not say. I made it as clear as I possibly can in my reply to Mike.

Are there examples of teams who have done this? Traded veteran starters for prospects while contending? I won’t be shocked if there are, but they would be pretty rare, I expect.

The Yankees trading Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals this past trade deadline. Montgomery went 6-3 for the Cardinals.  Still it doesn’t quite meet your criteria as Bader was not a prospect  The trade was also impacted due to the Yankees acquiring Montas
