    Three guys mentioned, zero talk of their salary or what it would take to get them. You could be talking about anybody.

    Agreed. The "change of scenery" argument holds as well. The Twins continue their trend of finding positive reclamation projects. Ideally you want this to be the 11th best thing about your club, not the 4th.

    I laughed when I read this title, it felt like click-bait. Of course the Twins don't WANT to trade Jeffers. A top-third catcher, still relatively young, serving a position of need. But the reality is that Jeffers is a Boras client. The chances of him signing an extension are basically nil. As a FA, he will be priced out of the Twins market. If he is healthy by the deadline, they will move him for the best package.

    Similar thoughts about the radio booth on a daily basis...

    This is the conundrum... Do the Twins call up guys now to see what they have? If they do, they risk further development of said player by eliminating them from MiLB play during the lockout. Is it worth that risk, especially understanding a large portion of the 2027 MLB season is expected to be lost.
  20. Twins GFP
    Upon further investigation, it looks like no service time is accrued during a lock out. However, as was mentioned elsewhere, MiLB players will continue to play during the lockout unless they have been called up. This will clog up calling up the prospects.

    I am having a hard time believing they will burn any of his service time this year. especially with the upcoming strike. I would imagine he would accrue service time if he is on the roster during the strike, which the Twins will not want.

    Wallner fits the mold of a change-of-scenery candidate. For whatever reason, he just can't seem to put it all together on a consistent basis in MN.

    While the trade seemed odd at the time, no one will really know why the trade was made. Were there behind-the-scenes issues? Did someone of importance want him gone? Did the Twins truly believe he was not going to help them long term? Did they believe they received better value in return? A half-season of a reliever is about the most unreliable thing you can base results on. While the trade looks bad now, it will take a few years to truly see the results.
  25. Twins GFP
    Yup.

    Truth #6: Despite everything and everyone, the Twins are still in the hunt for a playoff spot. If they decided to do ANYTHING to bolster the bullpen, they would be fighting for the division.

    I have been ok with most of the changes baseball has implemented over the years, but this decision is a train wreck. Taking a popularity contest and putting something so important as WS HFA as a result is truly sad.
  29. Twins GFP
    Considering he isn't on the 40-man, it is highly doubtful he will get an opportunity without a couple of injuries. Odds are more likely he will become a free agent after this year and go somewhere he will have a better opportunity

    And each team is going to use some combination of those numbers (and privately more) putting more weight on what they believe is more necessary or accurate. SDI is nice for the general fan to get an idea of how MLB players are viewed defensively. It would be nice if some ambitious programmer/web builder were to amalgamate the MiLB information into one spot to give the fans something to go off of. That person is not me... Thanks for the legwork!

    It would be interesting to know why there isn't a (public) SDI for MiLB. The metrics seem to be available. Even if it is a sample size issue, I would imagine there is enough interest in 2A and 3A to make it doable.
