    It appears the Nats are receiving quite a haul for Scherzer and Turner.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    Go somewhere else and prove it, I say.
  3. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins would want the prospects, yes. It wouldn’t be a performance-based trade from their their side.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    It would be interesting to see what kind of deal could be worked up for a Donaldson/Hosmer swap. Donaldson is owed $51.5m guaranteed, Hosmer is owed $60m guaranteed (assuming he doesn't opt out after 2022, a longshot at this point). Obviously, some prospects would have to come back to Minnesota but how many and of what quality?

    Any decent player on an expiring contract can be flipped for something at the deadline. Happ and Shoemaker, not so much.

    Has anyone checked 1 Twins Way to make sure the lights are on and people are inside?

      They do know the trade deadline is July 30 this year, instead of July 31? Right?

    Hard to say until we see what they get back. So much of the next 25 hours dictates what will happen in 2022. Do the Twins try to compete? Do they put themselves in a "if a few things go right, we'll compete" position? Or do they just throw up their hands and aim for 2023? I could see them signing anywhere between zero and two decent/good starting pitchers depending where they fall on that spectrum.

    I mean... maybe? I'm not even arguing whether those 2019 Twins were fundamentally sound. They were pretty bad defensively. They handed away at least a few games with unnecessary blundering. But to place the win discrepancy solely on fundamentals is a mistake, I think. It completely ignores pitching and the fact the Twins didn't even lead the league in run scoring in 2019. Both of those are larger contributors to wins than a nebulous definition of "fundamentals".
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    This doesn't work, though, as four teams broke the home run record in 2019. Best team record in 2019? 107 wins, nine wins below the season record by the Mariners in 2001.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    I don't know if any of these options capture my opinion... the Twins certainly received a fair amount of luck during that ridiculous 2019 campaign, as it was perfectly suited to the players they had accumulated, some of which broke out in big, unexpected ways and just fueled the fire. But the front office did a good job of building a team that was ready to break out and capitalize upon that environment. This season, they've been unlucky. There were just *so many* injuries to everyone on the team early in the season. No one expected to be 7-8 outfielders deep six weeks into the season. Or that basically the entire rotation (and the 6, 7, 8 options) to be similarly injured. But they put a lot of stock into some really bad players, taking a bad situation and turning it into an unmitigated disaster.

    I’m typing a thing and then typing more of a thing. Then I type this other thing. It’s more of a thing. So now I need to keep typing this to see what it does. And again. But more again here, I see. Let’s try a tweet.
  14. Brock Beauchamp
    Unsurprising really, but it's the first news I've seen of... anything... in the past 36 hours or so. If there's that much interest in Jose, it's going to be hard to walk away from the best team's best offer. And I'm increasingly okay with that, really. If the Twins can't keep Berríos, and it seems really unlikely they can if they have to compete directly with the likes of the Yankees in a strict financial sense. If they can acquire an elite A+ or AA pitching prospect plus more, it's probably the right decision for the organization. https://www.startribune.com/as-trade-deadline-nears-twins-getting-plenty-of-calls-on-jose-berrios/600082567/?refresh=true

    It’d be more interesting to watch, at least.
  16. Brock Beauchamp
    More on Kepler to the Yankees. It makes a ton of sense from both sides.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    I don’t think San Diego can afford to do this. They already looted the middle of their strong farm system, this also loots the upper end of it.
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    It would be rather silly not to do this. That allows the team to punt on the next 16 months and then come back extremely strong afterward. It minimizes downtime and gives a strong several year upward trend in its wake. And the Twins still have Taylor Rogers and possibly Max Kepler to trade and add to the farm.
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    I'm definitely wearing my surprised face right now.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    That was fun while it lasted, given how the Twins are allergic to the ninth inning.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    This game is absurd.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    The Twins have the most moveable assets of any team in baseball and their MLBTR page hasn't updated in 24 hours. So bored. Something happen, please.
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    We just passed the 48 hour mark... and...
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I refuse to vote because I can't choose both options.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    I literally mentioned that in the next paragaph you didn't quote. And the responsible journalist lists the option *every* time and does not count it, even if the option is 99% sure to go one direction. Again, none of this makes the article "not smart". If you aren't interested in it, move on.
