Feinsand: Trade Candidates Whose Stock Is Rising (And One That Fits The Twins)

I really don't think we're going to trade for Winker when we have Wallner and Keirsey hitting well in AAA and Julien working his way back (Castro would move to the OF). All can bat LH with Castro a switch hitter, of course.

I really don't think we need to buy another LHH cOF bat.

I don't think we need any more position players. Our guys are hitting great and we have solid hitters in AAA ready to go. What we need is pitching. Both a starter and one or two relievers. With Stewart and Topa going on a rehab assignment next week, we probably won't buy too much. I'm hoping for at the very least a solid lefty for our pen.

Interesting idea, and like you said he certainly has rebounded this season, but I don't see this as a big need for the Twins this season. As others have noted, we already have enough bats, from both sides, plus the recent addition of Brooks Lee, so adding another bat should not be a priority. But another bullpen arm might be nice. 

I don't see Winker happening but overall, I really hope the Pohlad's do something to help this team. The door is cracked open in the AL right now. The Yankees are scuffling and have become more risk adverse when it comes to adding at the trade deadline. Baltimore looks legit but they're young and unless they make a trade for a top-line starter, their rotation is beatable. I've made my thoughts known on Cleveland. And the Twins have shown they can beat Seattle and/or Houston. If Pablo rediscovers his form, and if the line-up stays healthy, this team has a chance. Up to ownership to help increase those odds and add to the roster.

If its not a quality starting pitcher, they should just stand pat and keep all of our prospects. 

Everybody needs pitching so it will be expensive. That being said let’s try to get some pitching.
