The Athletic's Dan Hayes mentions briefly that the Twins are more interested in Tyler Mahle than they are Luis Castillo. Mahle doesn't have the eye-popping stats of Castillo but would be a considerable upgrade to the Twins' rotation, as would Castillo. If the Twins are pursuing Mahle over Castillo, is it due to price, untapped potential, or both? I still think Montas is a long shot, the A's seem to be really intent on asking top dollar for him. If they haven't already overplayed their hand, I think there's a good chance they'll end up doing so.

Exactly. Saying the White Sox will win the division is a pretty even-handed take. I can make an argument for any of the three teams right now but the Twins currently have the lead, which gives them the advantage. But predicting a 9-10 game swing is outlandish. There's literally nothing to indicate that will be the case. The Twins continue to tread water while the White Sox continue to bounce around .500, never getting more than a couple of games over before sliding again. -
I really doubt they’ll even consider Maeda for the rotation given the need in the bullpen and how much longer it would take for Kenta to work up to 100 pitches.

In his trade deadline roundup, Ken Rosenthal writes that the Twins need to make a splash and rival officials are predicting the team to fade away as the summer rolls along. One official said the Guardians are better than the Twins, which is probably a fair assessment... but the shocking prediction from another official is that the White Sox will win the division by 5+ games when all is said and done. That's a lot of confidence for a team that has underperformed at every turn through 100 games and currently sits four games back of the Twins, a team that peaked at four games over .500... on April 16th. So, how likely do you think it is the Twins will win the AL Central this season? View full trade rumor

I was the one who said they're both bad (and implied they were interchangeable).

Trade Rumor: Should the Twins Trade Carlos Correa?

No. And it’s a dumb idea to even consider trading him.- 30 replies

I mean, not really. In Sano's first 500-ish innings, he posted a -5 DRS. Miranda has a -2 DRS in about half that number of innings. They're both bad at the position in the early going, I'm not sure either should be considered "worse" than the other.
-
True. What I find most appealing about Steer is the fact that he'll probably hit and can do it at several positions. I'm sure if you put an OF glove in his hand, he'd be just fine out there, too (though obviously would need to hit more to be an asset there).
-
Oh, I agree that fans overrate prospects, I'm just factoring in the timeline of the Reds and questioning whether they want a 2022 impact player or a 2024 impact player. They very well may prefer the latter, especially given Steer's defensive flexibility.
-
Miranda has played fewer than 550 innings at first base in his professional career. Sano has triple that number of innings and was really bad at the position in the early going.
-
Is Larnach more valuable than Steer? I'm not sure. Larnach's bat has a higher floor but Steer is way more versatile defensively. I think it really depends where a team is in the competitive cycle. In the case of the Reds, I might lean Steer for the upside play further down the road over Larnach's immediate impact.
-
By the way, I *really* like the format of this piece. For those of you who can't access it, a bunch of team writers for The Athletic propose trades for Castillo and then Keith Law grades them all. It's a really good approach to giving fans a barometer of what it might take to trade for a specific player.

It's troubling to give up two MLB or close to MLB ready pitchers but I probably make this trade if I'm confident Castillo is healthy. But it's a damned dangerous trade to make, especially for the 2024 season.

That's easily the biggest problem I see with this trade idea. It's skimming the Twins farm system in a way that probably doesn't appeal to the Reds.

Hey now, let's be fair, no one can half-ass code like I can.

Personally, I'm not sure I'd target high end pitching at the deadline but maybe that's just me. I think teams are going to be unreasonable in their asks, as there aren't that many quality pitchers available. I think the most hay will be made in the bullpen but Castillo is a very intriguing pitcher and in my opinion, the Twins hosed the Reds pretty hard with the Gray trade. The median outcome of Chase Petty is interesting reliever and two years of Gray for that price is a bargain. Could the Twins do it again? https://sportsnaut.com/how-luis-castillo-minnesota-twins-trade-could-look/ View full trade rumor

This is pretty obvious for anyone who has watched the team in even a passing manner but Do-Hyoung Park outlines the thinking behind the Twins' approach at the deadline. Who do you think they will target and what will they have to give up to repair their rapidly-spiraling pitching staff? https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-likely-to-seek-pitching-help-at-trade-deadline View full trade rumor

I would *maybe* offer him two additional years if he finishes the season decently, giving him three guaranteed years. Any more than that, hard pass. Gray is a really nice pitcher today but not the kind of pitcher I bet on for a long-term contract.
