The Twins just put Buxton on the IL and recalled Gray.  Why not recall Wallner and showcase him the rest of the week.  Just to see if he could up his trade value.  He is a guy who has the potential to bloom with a change of scenery

 

What a lame roster move Gray doesn’t belong on active roster

Right premise but wrong solution. If the Twins actually want to be buyers then Hancock is the perfect trade candidate. However I’m not trading Lewis or Keaschall to make it happen. You could probably make it happen by some package of Jeffers, Rodriguez, and another top 20 prospect.

The Yankees, Rays, White Sox and others are desperate for catching..  If the Twins want to trade him target those teams. Why would the Mariners want Jeffers?  they have Cal Raleigh,  I know he is having a down year,  But they are a bad trade target if the Twins want to deal Jeffers.  

Just for the right handed bat and Raleigh has been having a down year.  Sitting him might not hurt.   They very well might not want Jeffers there just aren't many if any .900 OPS bats available beyond Jeffers though and it seems every team needs right handed bats.  They could play him at first and DH when he is better than the alternative.
