The fact that we were able to trade so many on our 26-man, players other teams WANTED, tells me this team has underperformed. I don’t think it was a development problem as much as an on-field mgmt pro

I actually like Horn's chances to be a good RP if this regime is still here in 2 years.

Then how did the Giants get that AND 2 more prospects for Tyler Rogers, who is also a rental, has a higher ERA than Couloumbe, AND makes 5.25M vs. 3M for Coulombe. The FO isn't even trying, they know they are all on the way out, ownership told them to cut salary by any means necessary and they're clearly mailing it in.

In all seriousness this will be best!!! Can’t do any worse. Need young blood and hopefully exciting baseball!!! If you’re going to lose at least be competitive!!! Fans will respect that and go to target field!

Do you guys see us being a WS contender while Joe Ryan is under contract with us?  And when is contract is up do we have a chance of signing him?  Both answers are no.  That's why you trade him for a haul.

Problem is they really haven't brought back  too many useable pieces yet. Do we expect them to now? All of this is for salary relief, nothing else.

Largest fire sale in Twins history that I am aware of. If they deal Ryan, WOW. 

Hard to care, but maybe it's for the best. I feel bad for the guys that are left though. 

Also IF this is the route they are going to take ROCCO NEEDS TO BE FIRED TOMORROW!

Boston put up a late offer

So, who is coming up?

Three RPs, Castro, Bader.......(and hopefully France DFA).....

Martin and OUTMAN is my guess. There are zero RPs in the minors I'm thrilled about....

Great idea to let a disgruntled lame duck FO run the trade deadline. These returns are abysmal. They're not even trying

Gallagher is actually pretty solid.  AA arm that has improved a ton this year.   He has above average Fastball, Change up and Control.   An Ok slider, a poor curveball.   He has done really well, moving up levels this year, similar to Matthews.   2 Games and he has 1.59 ERA,  3.43 for the year.  10.26 SO/9.   This is a legit prospect.

I don't think either is even an honorable mention for the Cubs on Fangraphs.

I don't get these trades at all, other than money.....of course. These aren't even good lottery tickets.

The TD youtube chat mentioned that one list had Gallagher at 8

Gallagher is a helium prospect like Matthews was last year.  That some individuals have caught up to his current value doesn't mean he isn't a solid prospect.  Plus at AA.

Twins hear Prospects and they start salivating 

What else can they do?  We aren't going to go and outbid anyone for the top free agents.  We have to build a strong core from within and hope they turn out to be stars like the Royals in 2015.  That is the only way we win a world series.  Then when the stars contracts are up they sign for big money and we start over.  We aren't winning one anytime soon so load up with prospects.  And when we are a WORLD SERIES contender (not the last team wildcard team), you trade prospects to get the pieces that puts you over the top.  That is something the Twins don't do.
