Might as well trade the rest of the bullpen because we won't need them for the next couple of years. I bet Buxton and the gang feel super psyched about the future, especially with Falvey and Rocco in control of this Pohlad production of this summertime disaster!
A middling 23 year old prospect and an undersized catcher who's defense is a "work in progress" and is an okay hitter? Not good, but at least they'll be cheap.
If I'm the Twins, I ask for three of the top-5 prospects, and a couple other players. If any team balks, I say, "buh-bye." Ryan is a top-10 pitcher with two more years of control, yes? You don't move players like that!
Or, perhaps, Brad Radke. Judging by the dunderheads calling ball &s strikes, a pitcher that lives on outer reaches of the strike zone might be onto something.
Why not a guy like John Klein? I know they would prefer a lefty, but the fans and team would prefer someone who can get people out. You cannot possibly tell me that Misiewicz was the only viable option!
The bigger elephant in the room is Correa! At the plate, he looks like he just came up from rookie ball, and his defense no longer outpaces his ineptitude at the plate.
To me, his stuff always looked hittable, but he has managed to be successful in spite of appearances. Maybe he has to adopt the Joe Ryan mantra of pitching inside when things are not working.
