With two years of control left, Stewart better bring back something at least close to eye-brow raising.

He was a minor league FA signing. Whatever he brings back is a win

Meh, does the control really matter for a 34 year old player?

I wonder if Jax stays now that Duran and Stewart are shipped out? 

Castro, Coulombe, and maybe a Jax trade is what I’m hoping for the rest of the afternoon. 

I'm keeping Jax if the return is the same or less than Duran. And I'd expect he'd get less.

Unless Jax is so pissed off at Baldelli after yesterday that he's already told the front office he's done with the team.

Prospect after prospect and get rid of the players doing well. 

This is what a rebuild looks like, we just have never seen it this close before

Sad but true. After today I will be taking a little vacation from watching the Twins 

For some time I've been only checking in now and then out of curiosity to see how bad the pitchers were doing. I'll probably continue. It's like a bad accident. You can't not look.
But there is better baseball out there to be had. As opposed to the Twins FO which has been had.

[Dman]

Dodgers pen is so bad would Stewart be their closer?  I think this a good get for LA regardless of price.

The players have nobody else but themselves to blame for the fire sale. They’ve been playing lifeless baseball since opening day.

It's a thing for the White Sox, or the Orioles. Not us.

Stewart to Dodgers

We've been rebuilding for the last 10 years then

I was amazed how hard it was for their bullpen to throw the ball over the plate when we were in LA.

Unless Jax is so pissed off at Baldelli after yesterday that he's already told the front office he's done with the team.

If he had said so, likely Stewart would have stayed.

It'll be cold water in the face to see our lineup and roster in Cleveland Friday. And let's see who isn't playing for the Saints tonight.

Exhilarating! (Maybe.)

Willi, Coulombe, and one of Larnach or Wallner. My thoughts.

Not with two years of control. This team doesn't have to sell everyone RIGHT NOW. If Stewart does next year what he's done this year, his value will go way up. No need to sell him for peanuts now.

Sell sell sell.

I'd say production and years of control matter more for a relief pitcher than age does. It's probably the one position where age isn't the biggest factor actually.

[Patzky]

Much more action here today than in a typical Twins game forum! And little bashing of Rocco!

Or he gets hurt which he’s been good at and you get nothing. If the dodgers gave something of substance it’s a win. Even

I think it is all going other than Ryan (don't see the return), Correa (they don't want to pay), and Vazquez (if they have to pay). Agree that one of Walner or Larnach is a high possibility.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm not sure I get trading Stewart and Duran.....

Because we're bored and this has been the most excitement we've had all season?

Except for the expiring contracts, they can make these moves this winter too. Or next summer.

Stewart is elite when available but he is put together with duct tape and old.

Bieber to Toronto for RHP Khal Stephen. 🤭

If the TD comment section isn't full of people who think Rocco is the front office, this team has truly lost the casual fans.

Fair. Who knows, maybe the Dodgers DFA him again once any of their 20,000 pitchers on the IL make their return
