Trade deadline day thread

[Mike Sixel]

I bet if we look at history, not one team has traded this many RPs in a two year period, let alone in 1 day. Unreal.

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.

They're not, but then MLB.com has him as their #8 prospect... which is it? Is there really that much discrepancy between prospect ratings?

[Battle ur tail off]

Might not be just the biggest fire sale in Twins history, might be the biggest fire sale in the history of MLB. I'll be it's close. Most players moved at a trade deadline. 

Good gravy. Anyone decent is gone for little to nothing. 

[Vanimal46]

Ty France to Toronto 

[nicksaviking]

Honestly, I don't know why they bothered keeping Ryan at this point. Have to think they'll trade him, Ober and Lopez in the off season. 

[Hrbowski]

Twins get Alan Roden and Kendry Rojas from Jays

[AlwaysinModeration]

Griffin Jax to the Rays.   

[Vanimal46]

Is that 11 MLB players we traded away in 2 days?? 

[Mike Sixel]

France is going with Varland, so they decreased their return on another trade? 

How does Falvey sleep at night?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Taj Bradley. Wow. That actually has some upside. Potentially.

[LewFordLives]

Pohlads final middle finger to the fans.

[Vanimal46]

Not even the Marlins had a fire sale like we have had today. This is absurd 

[Danchat]

Jax and Varland? Wow, I wouldn't have believed it if you'd had told me this yesterday. 10 major leaguers have been traded! I didn't think Falvey had it in him to nuke the roster but sans moving Buxton and Ryan, he has done it.

[PseudoSABR]

Taj Bradley is a thing.

[exeoud]

How do we not at least get some lottery ticket throw in's in these deals? Straight up 1 for 1's? Taj Bradley is a decent return for Jax but that Jays trade is horrible. Alan freakin Roden?

[notoriousgod71]

The team probably matches into falveys office as one and demanded to be traded.

[Mike Sixel]

Roden is another LHH OF, who was demoted to AAA.

The other guy Fangraphs projects as a backend starter.....

 

[Craig Arko]

Be interesting to see who’s going to play Cleveland tomorrow. 

[USAFChief]

Falvey: "oh yeah? Burning this ****** to the ground on the way out the door."

[thelanges5]

Gleeman:

Twins trade tally:

Carlos Correa
Jhoan Duran
Griffin Jax
Louis Varland
Brock Stewart
Willi Castro
Harrison Bader
Chris Paddack
Danny Coulombe
Ty France

They traded 40% of the roster, including the five best relievers and five players with 2+ years of team control remaining.

[Battle ur tail off]

Remember when the Twins wanted good relief pitching years ago when they were contending? Remember what it took or teams wanted from us to make those trades happen?

Why do we insist on bringing back prospects that don't rank highly anywhere or are afterthoughts in the teams they are coming from's plans?

None of this makes any sense. Twins are flat out giving away players at this point.

Be interesting to see if any of Ryan, Ober, Lopez are on this team in 26.......

 

[notoriousgod71]

Can't wait to read Ryan's comments.

Its a 1 for 1 deal.  2 years of Jax for 3-4 of Bradley and no other return.

I think Bradley could be really good. Of all the deals, this is the one I can stomach the most.
