Rumor: Top 50 Trade Candidates: Deadline Weekend Edition

[Brock Beauchamp]

Congratulations, you've unlocked trade deadline weekend! Up to this point, the deadline has been rather quiet, as there are many teams still on the fence about selling and few selling teams have have clear upgrades at positions. MLBTR's Anthony Franco runs through the best remaining trade targets heading into the final 72 hours before the trade deadline.

Of particular interest to the Twins:

• Mark Canha: RH OF, New York Mets
• Tommy Pham: RH OF, New York Mets
• Jordan Hicks: RP, St Louis Cardinals
• Josh Hader: RP, San Diego Padres

Who are your favorite trade targets and why?

Still going off the grid with Nick Senzel.  Especially now that two former Twins farmhands have helped make him dispensable in Cincy.  Can play CF & 3B (and probably all the corners) and is hitting the snot out of left handed pitching.

I brought him up in May and still think its a great idea.  He's a RH Nick Gordon with options.  Funny how most of the actual trades are from off the grids.  Who had Floro anyway?

If the Twins do anything at the deadline I'm hoping they take a look at the following...

1. Lane Thomas

2. Carlos Hernandez

3. Jordan Hicks

I like the rentals with big salaries: Canha, Raley, Stratton, Hernandez, Grichuk, Suter, Cron, Hand, Shreve, Fulmer

Further Off grid:

I like Stuart Fairchild out of Reds AAA Louisville……….  .743OPS in the Show this year after about 150 AB’s - no room for him on their roster with Benson - McClain - De La Cruz - Encarnacion-Strand all coming up & Votto off of IL. He was their starting CF but once Fraley had to play right every day & Benson is leading them in OPS batting 9th & playing LF …….,.he’s out & zero chance of coming back.

Hitting .240 and fast - can play CF or any of the other OF spots - RH hitter. Again, .743 OPS this year for the Reds big club. Gotta be relatively cheap!

Reds need arms.

Moran for Fairchild straight up.

Grichuk would be wonderful - don’t see us pulling that off.

Hand/Suter/Fulmer/Shreve/Raley ……..we only have to pay them for 1/3 of their salary (2 mos.)…….we can swing that.

Any 2 of those guys and we’d be golden!!!
