Who's going to come along and give the offer, at this moment in time, for either one of them? They are playing some of the worst ball of their careers right now! That was my point, not that I'm opposed to the general idea of trading either one.

I don't think a lot of the ideas being proposed as deadline plans are actually sensible or realistic, other than selling off rentals. Which, I'm sorry, isn't going to upgrade the system all that meaningfully. A lot of people yelling at me for being unwelcoming of change while refusing to acknowledge the realities and implications of making those changes. 

Certainly didn't want to put another burr under your saddle today, Nick.  If you check what I said it was "if" they can get the "right" offer.  Am in total agreement with your position that getting that offer is unlikely. 

And other than commenting on my hope that they get some young catchers, I am not qualified to speculate what they should be getting.  With that said, I am happy they got a good catching prospect for Paddack.  Unfortunately, he is to far away from playing for the Twins to be a candidate for that second catchers spot next year.
