Destination: The Show. Episode 21, Polanco Trade Emergency Episode

[Jeremy Nygaard]

Well, it only took until late January for the Twins to make a deal that moved the needle... and Monday evening's trade sending Jorge Polanco to the Mariners for four players certainly did just that. JD, Jeremy and Theo jumped on discuss the players involved and the next steps.

There was plenty to talk about. From the feeling that Polanco's plate appearances will be split among many of the current infield options, to also how the money saved will now be reallocated. And how the Twins will use the current major leagues plus how the minor leaguers fit into the system. It was certainly a fun chat to have!

These are great....especially without Cubs or Brewers talk!  :)

Good trade, wash on value for this year and surplus for the future. Could also easily be turned into a trade for a high-end starter.

This was a good episode, right up there with the Tom F show.
