    You misinterpreted my meaning. I was talking about the article, not the player. Player has a good week, we talk about salvation. Player has a bad week, we talk about pumpkins. Kind of silly...

    Half-measure is optimistic. Pohlad hides his ruler in the drawer.

    Can we stop riding this rollercoaster please? Prospect has a strong week: "All doubts erased, prospect is awesome! the future is saved!" Prospect has a rough week: "Prospect is turning into a pumpkin! Woe is the future! Who will fill his role now that he sucks?"

    IMO - a lot would depend on how much salary Seattle is wiling to eat. Paying $24M for a veteran, good clubhouse guy, 4/5 starter is not an option. Get that number under $10M, without giving up any prospect capitol, is worth a discussion.

    What a weird sight... A negative article and the comment section being overwhelmingly positive.

    This falls in line with my thinking as well. There is a team out there that sees Wallner's success in AAA and thinks that he could help their big club. Any trade will see salary going out, with prospects, not salary, coming in. If any salary does come in, it will be very small.

    Contrary to what the article says, trading away two of your best hitters for prospects does constitute waving a white flag on the season. That being said, if the Twins believe there is a zero chance of a Jeffers re-sign/extension, and the Caratini/Jackson pairing looking solid, I can understand why they would trade him. The Larnach situation is a little different. With another year of arbitration control, and the Twins not willing to call up a high-end prospect with the strike looming, I don't know if the return would be so high that trading him right now makes sense. Yes, they would be selling high on him, but it sends a bad message to the clubhouse if they trade him for prospects while in the playoff hunt.

    Read the whole quote. I never said there wasn't room from improvement, I said the lineup was not the top priority. SP is up and down, the bullpen has been shambles all year. The focus should be there first.

    Please tell me how Zoll can make any moves of quality when the ownership refuses to invest in payroll? His comments are part of the problem. Saying that they need to invest in the team and not actually allowing any increased payroll to acquire good players pretty much says it all. We have no clue about the level of quality of Zoll as a GM, it will probably take a few years to get a better handle on him.
  21. Twins GFP
    As with Falvey before, Zoll is not truly driving the bus. Tom Pohlad has continued the Pohlad tradition of saying one thing and doing another. How many GM's do the Twins need to go through before the fans realize they are not the ultimate problem? When the Twins miss out on the postseason in a year where a few small moves could have realistically put them over the top, it is 100% on Tom.

    Let me get this straight... The Twins have scored the most runs in the AL this year and we are suggesting we trade away prospects for rental OF, a position at which the Twins have depth in the minors? This team has been lacking RP all season and the Pohlad's have done absolutely nothing to help it. Why would we-as-fans think they would do anything to strengthen a lineup that is nowhere near the top of the priority list? Ownership has zero interest in upgrading this team in any capacity. They are more likely to cut salary and trade the Ryan/Jeffers/Larnach/Bell group. Articles like this are great discussion, but complete fantasy.

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

  28. Twins GFP
    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.
