    Chapman would likely cost Arraez, Kirilloff, Balazovic and Graterol with maybe someone like James Kaprielian coming back to the Twins to even it out. Has Oakland made Chapman available? I doubt it. If we want to go with the idea that everyone is available for a price, I think the ridiculous package above will be that price.

    I love the signing as a one year deal. He's a left-handed vet backup that brings some valuable skills and knowledge. He should be good for helping to further develop Garver and Astudillo. Also, if Jeffers starts tearing it up at AAA, this isn't the kind of contract or situation that would block him. Astudillo could easily be optioned and Avila could be the 3rd guy down the stretch.

    There goes my ammo for getting the older kids off SnapChat so that they actually watch the game. It also means the younger ones who haven't been to a game yet don't have to go through my old first game hazing ritual. That old "Here's a ball to the face, so you know what it feels like and pay attention" is sooo 2009. Time to reallocate some of the ice and dentist bill money to another part of the family budget.

    Maybe we can get the MN DNR involved and give him permission to lasso the bison that they started keeping at Minneopa State Park not too long ago.

    How about if we throw in a lifetime supply of bellies-full-of-bunnies snakes?

    That was fool money for Wheeler. Glad the Twins didn't go down that path. As Seth pointed out in his article, Berrios and Gausman have pretty similar career peripheral numbers and both are younger. I'd like to see an extension and a signing respectively.

    Well, my Hamels wish didn't age well. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/braves-to-sign-cole-hamels.html

    Of the rumors that were floated, Syndergaard was apparently going to require Buxton (not a prospect) and Stroman just wasn't the level of pitcher that would take you over the top. I can't really fault the team on not diving in head first on those deals. If there were other rumors, they escape me now. I understand your frustration, but I just don't think losing out on Wheeler is in line with the same old, same old. Not playing in the Cole and Strasburg market certainly is, but I'm already worn down to the stumps there and the lichen have already grown over.

    They can't pigeon hole themselves into a {insert pitcher name (currently Wheeler)} or bust MO. I don't think that's the smart way in the Twins market. I can listen to the frustrations of cheapness around Cole or Strasburg. They are definitely the high end pitching studs to be bought. Buying an inflated Wheeler as his price starts to approach those two wouldn't be good business, IMO. I'd rather get Hamels, Gausman and Bundy (I think they can produce at least what Gibson, Perez and Pineda produced). Then I'd give a two year, get healthy deal to Sanchez. If the Twins are where we hope they'll be in July, then make a blockbuster deal for a stud on a team that had a year that didn't go quite right. There will be less players to contend with and the the Twins should have the prospect depth to compete with those that do contend.

    Rangers appear to be out. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2019/12/rangers-out-on-zack-wheeler.html If the Twins are out, I hope he goes to Philly or Cincy. If he goes to the White Sox, then I'll end up rooting for a quick decline. I know I'm a horrible person. Edit: For me, 5/100 is the absolute ceiling for Wheeler. If it's more than that, then the Twins should just make a run for Cole or Strasburg.

    I haven't, but I've seen Total Recall: "Quaid, start the reactor!"

    Thanks for pointing that out. Now I can't look at it not that way.

    Can we create a package around Edwar Colina that nets us Juan Soto too? Oakland isn't going to trade Chapman. He's exactly the type of player that a team with their budget constraints is going to continue to build around. 2018 25 Oakland Athletics $547,500 0.109 2019 26 Oakland Athletics $580,000 1.109 contract 2020 Status Pre-Arb Eligible, Earliest Arb Eligible: 2021, Earliest Free Agent 2024

    A modest two year deal to any of the highlighted pitchers would be a good move, IMO. All three have high end talent, but the injury issues are concerning. The deal could be treated in a psuedo-Pineda way. Year one is all about health. IL until 100% or when it makes sense assuming a playoff push. I wouldn't sign more than one of those three though. Treinen and Buchter are both interesting. MiLB options abound in the pen, so more arms with talent are a good answer for the volatility. I'd kick the tires on Alex Claudio as well. Danny Hultzen on a minor league deal would be fine. It's a Rich Harden type of hail mary, but it's good to explore all options. No interest in Pillar here. It's just a name drop, although he has had some good games against the Twins. The Twins top four outfielders right now are all "capable" or much better than that. Give Jake Cave 628 PAs, and he'll match that homer total and do it with an OBP well above the .287 that Pillar put up. Hell, with all the articles suggesting a Rosario trade and using his .300 OBP as one of the main reasons to move him, I don't see what Pillar will bring that's any better. He might be cheaper, but why kill the clubhouse over 2-3 mill?

    What if? That pic looks like Buxton doing his best Russell Westbrook impression. Reporter: "Byron, what if you didn't get injured last season?" Buxton: "What!? Bro, what are you talkin' about, man?" .... and so on and so forth
  17. MMMordabito
    How about Duran, Raley and Sands for Bundy AND Givens? Two years of control on both, and 40-man spots stay the same.
  18. MMMordabito
    Hopefully the coaching farm has some top 100 talent ready for a callup.
  19. MMMordabito
    I am in favor of the idea as well. Get him out of Camden and in a winning atmosphere. He's got talent. Buy low option of 2020 that has more upside than the Perez option of 2019.
  20. MMMordabito
    Good for Gibby, and he gets to go to the new Globe Life, instead of the old cracker box.
  21. MMMordabito
    Well, they signed Blaine Hardy to a MiLB deal. He looks to be a lefty with a pulse, and he wasn't very good against lefties. 59 PA 7 HR ... That's scary. I guess it matters less with the 3 batter rule, but I hope they get some more arms in to compete. I agree with the previously stated opinions about the volatility of bullpens.

    Here is your OP statement: "Not only was Dyson hurt during his tenure with the Twins, he's not a good human being. Glad he's no longer with the team." The 12up piece has statements like these that make it much better reporting: "The girlfriend of ex-Minnesota Twins reliever Sam Dyson recently took to Instagram to appear to accuse him of domestic violence, claiming she's moved herself and their cat to a safer space." "It's important to note that nothing has been confirmed as of yet" "Again, nothing has been confirmed, so stay tuned. This is a developing story and we will provide updates once they are made available."

    I'm just responding to questions and posts where I was supposedly led in the direction of actual information. I'm not stating that this is a conspiracy. I'm merely playing devil's advocate and am not willing to jump to any conclusions. Here is an example of a better way to share this story: https://www.12up.com/posts/reliever-sam-dyson-s-girlfriend-appears-to-accuse-him-of-domestic-violence-on-their-cat-s-instagram-01dtm3kgmf95

    The only thing I see from the original account is a screenshot of a self-reflective post. The only mention of throwing the box is from this Victoria person who states that she doesn't even follow Alexis.
  25. MMMordabito
    I never said she isn't telling her full truth. It's just that the truth that she's provided so far appears to be over-dramatized and has very little supporting evidence. Not assuming anything close to an actual assault or act of violence protects us from the Bennetts and Smollets of the world. It protects the Perrys and Counts of the world of well.
