BREAKING: Twins Trade Jhoan Duran to Philadelphia Phillies

[SD happy]

If this trade was for Jax, I would have been very happy. With Duran, I felt like we were holding a winning hand. I feel like we blinked and folded too soon. The one frustration I have is the FO committing  to the trade yesterday. I wish they would have had the Phillies, Dodgers, Mariners, etc sleep on it and see if they would start getting a little panicky and overpay the closer we got to the deadline.

Quick fyi. Paddock pitched six innings giving up three hits, one run and no walks in a Tiger win.

He is just hitting his stride. Probably be an allstar in 2026. On another note….

Mick Abel’s  2025 WAR = .4

C4’s 2025 WAR = .1

My feeling is that FO is counting on Duran to become injury prone (after heavy usage with the Twins) for this trade to work in favor of them
