The Twins Need to Cash in on Kody Clemens Right Now

No.  We are keeping him.  Shut up.

Every player can be traded if the return makes the roster/team better. I cannot see any trade that involves Kody Clemens returning a player of note. There is not likely to be any demand unless we are talking cash.

Trade Kody to Toronto for a pitching prospect.  Develop him for 3 to 4 years, then ship him back over the border.

If the Twins pick up where they left off from last year's trade deadline and consider any players of some value as assets to be dealt for prospects when do they break out of that cycle? When do they start focusing on accumulating productive Major League assets of their own that they actually hold on to, who help them win?

The hit rate on prospects is not that strong for many MLB decision-makers.

Dealing assets en masse results in problem areas for the team. Exhibit # 1 The dumpster fire that is the Twins 2026 bullpen.

Clemens is under control through the 2028 season. Twins might make productive use of him down the line.

We could probably get a similar return for Josh Bell at the trade deadline that we would get for Clemens right now. 

Any GM who’d want Bell in the lineup and on the field ahead of Clemens should be forced to resign.

Oh wait, he was.
