Trade deadline day thread

[Dman]

Friedman is one of the best.  He runs circles around our clown show.  They should have kept Stewart.

I can tell you right now that Rocco Baldelli is going to love this deal. Another team's 28-year-old? He's going to play every day even if it comes at the expense of at bats for Wallner.

Which probably should happen regardless… Wallner has been brutal in the OF and the plate.

Between him and Kiersey  == who is Worse ,  ??  might be a tie , makes zero sense

It only makes sense if he is Buxton insurance.  Slash line in AAA is .289/.378/.592

Feels like our version of Julien  .275/.415/.888

Both starting to look like AAAA players after the leagues figured them out. Both with big years in 2023.

He's not going to get better, in case he's part of the answer, not playing.

Outman can play CF well

No truer statement was ever made on this site.

Maybe there’s something to tap into. 3 WAR player in 2023 when he was a full time starter for LA. Idk. Just grasping for straws. 

He’s at minimum Buxton insurance so we don’t have to scrap heap this winter for another Michael A Taylor type. 

Yeah I get it. I'm sure they think they see something. I was fully onboard with moving Stewart, but do it for an actual lottery ticket or just hold onto him and pray he's healthy either this offseason or at the deadline next year. Outman won't see LHP so they'll still need that veteran reclamation project RH OF. 

[strumdatjag]

SI claims there is “minor snag” to Stewart trade, his med history.

I can't believe I"m typing this, but I'd rather they play Kiersey. 

No team that is trying to build for next year or the year after should deal for and play a 28 year old who has been worse than replacement level.

[Vanimal46]

Who knows. Just posting what I’m seeing on Twitter.

Wallner has shown significantly more offensive upside than Outman. I'm not taking him out of the lineup.

[Dman]

I hope he is back to his 2023 self or this FO is gonna get crucified on this one.  He is 28 with a very high K rate.  He isn't getting better at this point.  You gave away 3 years of a setup closer type arm for that?  Man teams have to be lining up to do deals with the Twins.  If they can rob them like this..

He can play plenty in St Paul figuring out how to swing the bat and catch a fly ball again.

I'm failing to see the fit too. Hope I'm wrong.

That said, I'm good with not seeing Keirsey play a ton.

Taylor’s numbers look like Mike Trout when compared to Outman. Was kind of liking this trade thinking we were getting a solid MLB OF, the .103 average, .083 on the road, changed that. Hopefully consistent playing time will help increase thus….. otherwise let some of the promising minor league prospects get some time in September.

I got a good laugh out of "took a possible tying homer away from Correa recently." Between that and tweeting his minor league stats when the deal was announced....yeesh. 

[Dman]

Man I hope I am going to be very wrong about these deals or they have just thrown away a lot talent for nothing.

[hitterscount]

Correa gone?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

In theory, Outman is a 'replacement' for Bader.  In reality, when your team is having a fire sale, you don't replace Bader by trading Brock Stewart. Should have gotten a lottery ticket prospect.

There's a lot wrong with the Twins' organization. The Pohlad's. Rocco. The roster. Player development. But, I think the biggest problem has and is Falvey. What an absolute joke.

[notoriousgod71]

Outman is a hilarious acquisition. It reminds me of Tyler Austin but worse.

Correa back to Houston

Correa just traded.  Burning things down?

Holy hell MLB network is saying Correa deal is a go

I'm out. Won't watch this team anytime soon.
