That's still $30m for 2025.  

No, that's $15M in 2025 and $15M in 2027.

Great points on Puk.

Flaherty might be possible, but you'd have to pay in prospects.  Flaherty probably costs about $4.5M.  If you have the Tigers take Farmer, you save about $2M.

Twins give up:

Farmer
Austin Martin
Luke Keaschall
Zebby Matthews

I hope this is satire.   Matthews and Keaschall are top 5 prospects at the EOY.  I woudn't trade one of them for Flaherty let alone both.

Injuries and inconsistency have plagued Varland, Paddack, and Festa  the fifth starters. To fix a fifth starter the Twins need to sell the farm? Let’s hope not.

I didn't say I would make the trade.  I was just illustrating how a trade like that could work, money wise.  If part of the trade back was a money dump, you'd have to increase the prospect haul to make that happen.
