    Burn. It. Down.

    Vallimont is my favorite piece in the deal. Romo does little for me

    Agreed! really, really hope that doesn't happen.

    To further illustrate the slide, Gleeman just tweeted these numbers: Twins' overall OPS: April/May — .849 (#1 in MLB) June/July — .802 (#7 in MLB) Twins' OPS with runners in scoring position: April/May — .888 (#2 in MLB) June/July — .733 (#24 in MLB) Twins' OPS in high-leverage spots: April/May — .897 (#3 in MLB) June/July — .620 (#28 in MLB)

    I really think that's how things will play out. Which is fine! I just think folks need to recalibrate their expectations considering the last 6+ weeks of mediocre play. Just my thoughts

    Is anybody concerned that the front office will no longer make a big move at the deadline? Falvine talked all offseason about waiting to make a move and spend money until they had a better understanding of what they had, personnel wise, etc. Wanting the young guys to all be on the same timeline. I think it's become pretty clear that the team that came flying out of the gates the first two months of the season is simply not what this team is. It was a fun story, but the bats especially have really come back to the pack. The team we've seen the last 6+ weeks is more than likely the truer representation of this group than the team that was setting records, etc. The FO has to know this. Is anyone else getting worried that instead of making a splash, they make some marginal move and more or less stand pat and keep prospects to continue "building" the team? Viewing the first 2 months as more of a "pop" up scenario than a real chance to push all our chips in on a championship caliber team? I'm literally just spitballing and I have no way of knowing one way or another.

    Twins have had recent conversations with Tigers regarding Boyd and Shane Greene per Jon Morosi. He goes on to say the Twins are looking to add a starter and a reliever. https://www.mlb.com/news/trevor-bauer-potential-trade-deadline-target

    I completely understand. I work in communications/media relations and still, to this day, miss errors in my own work all the time.

    Tough loss, it happens. It just seems like these sort of losses are happening more and more frequently over the past month. Was really hoping we'd sweep the lowly Mets to give us a bit of a cushion for the A's and Yankees series. Stating the obvious, but the team really seems to have issues hitting with RISP (duh). Hope we can break the trend sooner rather than later. Not really sure how to articulate it, but something happened to this team a month and a half ago (June 4th) when we went to Cleveland for that three game series and lost 2 of 3. I can't really put my finger on it, but it's like they lost their mojo. The team flat out just hasn't been the same since. In the 35 games since the start of that series, the team has played .500 baseball (18-17). We're going on over a month of this type of play now. Random nights where the defense is just terrible. Baserunning blunders. Clutch hitting has been nearly non-existent, etc. Something is just off. Injuries no doubt have played into this. But it seems like the swagger is missing. Is this what the team has settled into? It's great that we built such a huge cushion during the first two months of the season, but I think it's pretty clear that this team is 3rd in the pecking order of AL powers (behind the Yankees and Astros for sure). Idk, maybe I'm just venting after a tough loss...

    The Cleveland series out of the break is going to be a blast to watch! Looks like Indians will roll out Clevinger, Bauer, and Bieber. Runs from the lineup will be at a premium...hope our pitching staff is up to the challenge!
  11. HawksNest
    Yeah, that's for sure what it is. Fans are almost always delusional (myself included, lol) about trade values, etc.
  12. HawksNest
    Wayyyyyy too much, for both

    Pretty sure my first choice would be Amir Garrett. I think he's an absolute stud on an upward trajectory. Giles is having a great season but his shaky history scares me a bit. He definitely has the stuff to be elite as we're seeing this year. Felipe Vazquez is going to cost a boat-load but I'm not necessarily opposed to making a deal if it's there, the guy is a beast. To me, Will Smith is a rock steady, non-"sexy" option which is completely fine and I would be 100% ok with acquiring him. Don't think he offers the upside of the others but he would immediately become Rogers equal in the 'pen. I really don't foresee a deal being made within the division so any talk of Diekman, Hand, Greene, Colome, etc. doesn't seem realistic to me. Which is too bad because the other teams in our division each have a reliever or two that would look great on the Twins.

    Great wrap, per usual. Thanks for putting these together! I'm very much looking forward to monitoring the trade market over the next 6 weeks. We have more than enough ammo to go out and make a few trades if Falvine decide to do so. A combination (to varying degrees of course depending on the return) is more than enough to land starter and/or a bullpen arm or two. Larnach Balazovic Duran Gordon Cave Rooker Arraez Wander Javier Enlow Alcala Moran Rortvedt Gonsalves Thorpe That's a pretty solid and deep pool of prospects to draw from to get something done.
