    I'd like Montgomery at a discounted rate, with options and player opt outs built in.
  2. sweetmusicviola16
    I personally would like JD Martinez brought in. He can regular DH and do some 1B. He can hit. We have the money to do it on a 1 year deal. He is a leader. I have seen his name all winter and said that's the guy we should get.

    Lee is not a guy we need to extend, yet. Lewis and Julien, yes. We just dumped Polanco. Lee isn't ready for ML, yet. We presently do not have a logjam, if you ever really have one. Lewis will play 3B, Correa SS, as long as they are healthy and able to. Right now Julien is our 2B. In the future, 2025, Lee will become 2B and Julien will likely shift to 1B. Julien will spell Lee at 2B and Kiriloff will split time at 1B and COF, is how I see it shaking out. Miranda if he can come back will back up 3B and some 1B as well. Farmer will be gone after 2024. There is no logjam, things were thinned out a lot after the trade of Jorge Polanco. The only logjam is at the bottom. Nick Gordon will also very likely be gone, trade or release and Larnach will serve as AAA/ML depth. Soon Jenkins and E Rodriguez will be ready and up. We will have room for their talents too when that time comes.

    I also prefer Louie Varland be given every chance to be in the rotation on opening day. DeSclafani is not good enough imo to vault over the present incumbents. But if they should fail we at least have some proven depth now.

    The more I go over this trade the more I actually like it. We needed bullpen depth and quality. Check. We needed backend of the rotation depth, regardless of if a TOR is brought in or not.And he is only costing 4 mil. Check. We now have our starting 2B without the distraction of a platoon. Check. In addition to these benefits we now have a Top 80 prospect. Who nobody in the organization or fanbase is invested in sentimentaly and can be used to draw that TOR that we would alllike to see. Do I like DeSclafani? No. Yuck. But I do like the trade as a whole. No, I don't think we are anywhere close to be done, and I can be one of the FO's hardest critics.
  6. sweetmusicviola16
    Yes!! I'll be expect to be seeing it on traderumors by 8:30
  7. sweetmusicviola16
    So, are Kepler and Farmer still on the trade block? I would think Kepler more so than Farmer at this point.
  8. sweetmusicviola16
    My local smalltown bank used to have these mini reeses in a basket. I always took a handful on my way out the door.......

    Anyway wishing for the very very best for Jorge Polanco as he starts a new chapter in his career. Thanks for your time as a Twin Jorge.
  10. sweetmusicviola16
    Great analysis. I agree, some more moves are likely on the horizon. They need to be. We have lost around 15-16 WAR from last season. Topa is now the very first positive addition we have made. I like getting him, but even he comes with a question mark.Is he going to e a one time wonder as he has next to zero succesful play aside from 2024. We shall see how all of this plays out.
  11. sweetmusicviola16
    Maybe a hard initial reaction is a normal thing when a longtime fan favorite has just been traded away. Even as the trade sinks in with me I like it more than I did at first glance. Though I do hope that DeSclafani gets traded sooner than later. LOL
  12. sweetmusicviola16
    I have to believe this as well. I've been desperately wanting another decent pen arm and I believe we got this tonight in Topa. Gonzalez is a good get, should free someone up for another trade,might even be him. DeSclafani is not an answer to any question.
  13. sweetmusicviola16
    I do hope we use some of this new prospect capital to get a much better SP
  14. sweetmusicviola16
    I haven't looked at the prospect pieces, but DeSclafani. Yuck and pew. Disappointed in this.
  15. sweetmusicviola16
    If Prielipp and Canterino can ever get healthy, man look out we will have something. A lot of it. SWR, I'm not really high on him at this point. Back of the rotation guy as I see it. But he does offer us some depth at that position and that does have value. I'd rather it be Richardson as the guy we call on than it be Dobnak.
  16. sweetmusicviola16
    I too found C and CF an interesting combination for a player. With a good strong arm RF would seem to make sense long term.
  17. sweetmusicviola16
    Burnes is great.I would love to have him. But if it were for Julien right now, I would be PO'ed to be honest. LOL Julien is going to be a great player. For years. We should be extending him like Detroit just did with Colt.
  18. sweetmusicviola16
    For 1 season of Burnes it has to be someone lees than Julien for my taste. Cease for Julien, which would be 2 years of him, I could be swayed. For Burnes I propose something along the lines of Polanco, competitive balance pick and Louie Varland. I know we like Varland too. It's a tough call.
  19. sweetmusicviola16
    I know he hasn't panned out to potential, but any thoughts out there on Mackenzie Gore of the Nat's? He's always intrigued me. He's still young and the Nat's are still going nowhere at present.
  20. sweetmusicviola16
    OK. I'll meet you halfway, lets sign Montgomery then. He's an FA and will only cost us money. He doesn't even have a QO attached. I hate to burst anyone's bubble but Burnes will not be coming to MN for opening day. Maybe at the deadline we can outbid other suitors. He also wants to test the FA waters next offseason. Starting out at anything less than 32-33 mil per will get a quick click of the phone from him imo.
  21. sweetmusicviola16
    I am of the opinion that Milwaukee still wants one more shot in 2024. Why would they have just signed Hoskins, among other moves? Burnes will not be a Twin on opening day. I don't think Miami has a high priority on trading SP's either. They're very close to being a PO team themselves. Maybe we should be thinking about the few FA's that are still available, like Clevinger. Yep they have dug a hole and now will try to dig out of it with the clock ticking down.
  22. sweetmusicviola16
    Talk about a guy that flamed out. Joe Charboneau. I know he was a little bit older. But he looked so young. And in 1980 he looked so good. Great. What happened? Pressure maybe. Initially drafted by the Twins.
  23. sweetmusicviola16
    I know he didn't quite make star status,though he was an All-Star his first two seasons, but Butch Wynegar was only 26 days past 20 y/o when he debuted. But he was pretty darn good for his first few seasons. Carew was only 3 or 4 months past 21.
  24. sweetmusicviola16
    I suspect not much happens until March. Twins have a number of players that can play 2B. Right now they want MLB talent back for Polanco. It appears no org wants to pony up what our FO thinks he's worth. An injury or two during ST on another team can/would change what they would pay. He's still not going to bring anymore than a backend SP but they may be willing at that point to give up a couple Top 10 prospects. Which may also even meet the Twins desires. Even though they say only MLB talent in January. This same scenario also applies to Farmer and Kepler.
  25. sweetmusicviola16
    Extensions of the 4 guys you mention might be the most prudent thing to do since we are not signing FA's this season. I'll add Duran to those 4 listed. Ober and Ryan possibly too.
