    The Twins would likely want another good bullpen arm or two. Romo and or Hudson or Bellatance.
  2. Brandon
    I was thinking Boston could turn around and flip Rosario or another OF of their choosing for prospects.
  3. Brandon
    Rosario for Price and 21 million from Redsox. Twins net out adding 17 million to payroll and get a good starting pitcher. May have enough in budget to sign Donaldson. so that makes the decision based on how much of a difference is there between Larnach or Killeroff and Rosario next season?
  4. Brandon
    I wonder if the trade rumors for Rosario would lead to enough payroll space to add Ryu and Donaldson? Adding both players would sell lots of tickets I think.
  5. Brandon
    I don't think Ryu is a good fit for the Angels as they have injury issues in the rotation already. They would probably rather have 2 pitchers who can throw 180 innings with more certainty Keuchel and Terehen. They have other holes to fix as well. I think we are waiting to see if Madbum goes to LA.
  6. Brandon
    Seeing Tanner Roark get 2/24 makes the Pineda deal look better and also justifies what you are talking about in your post.
  7. Brandon
    Also I like the trade where we sent nothing...I mean the ability to spend a million...in two different trades for two different prospects.
  8. Brandon
    When we traded for Odorizzi he was coming off a down year where he was injured and his stuff seemed to decline. Most teams were worried that paying him 6.3-4 million and giving up prospects would be too much. Odorizzi turned that around.
  9. Brandon
    Bumgarner to Dodgers, Ryu and Keuchel to the Angels right? Then who's left?
  10. Brandon
    I'm not going to say anything he Twins never sign impact free agents. It's just rare. Nelson Cruz says hello by the way...
  11. Brandon
    So he is not worth the 17 million he is being paid and you want to give up talent to pay a pitcher an extra 7 million from his current estimated market value?
  12. Brandon
    Also Donaldson for 3/54 is really light. Try 3/75 or more likely 4/88-92
  13. Brandon
    What about 4/80 for Ryu instead of 3/75? I was hoping the Twins could fit Donaldson into the Twins Budget. But if they go to 25 million per season to sign a pitcher then you are looking at 4-6 million for one of the available 1B Morelan, Cron, Thames.... maybe a Tanner Roark or Alex Wood especially if they sign Ryu. and more suspect reliever options to try out in spring training.
  14. Brandon
    Because of how competitive we are right now, I would be disappointed if we don't get 1 of Donaldson, Bumgarner, Ryu, or Keuchel. I like Tony and Rodney's idea if Alex Wood and Tehren. Or Wood and Tanner Roark if need be.
  15. Brandon
    Avila is half the cost of Castro. That alone makes this a good signing considering there is no drop off in offense. And the defense difference isn't enough of a change either. So finding a placeholder till Jeffers is ready at half what we paid last year is worth it to me.
  16. Brandon
    I guess I should add we can always move Graterol to the bullpen in late July to save some wear and tear and have a better pen.
  17. Brandon
    I would imagine there is a little flexibility in the 135-140. But in the spirit of 135. I would rather have an innings eater than Hill but I would want Donaldson. So Keuchel and Donaldson works for me. Add Gausman if we can hit 140ish.
  18. Brandon
    If the Twins go with Keuchel and Donaldson I hope they also go after Gausman or another reclamation project to compete for the 5th spot in the rotation. I also would like to see them get another pen arm. trade for Giles?
  19. Brandon
    Minnesota should come out with a 7 year 250 million offer so someone else can beat it and they can come back and say they had the highest offer until the bidding went past our comfort level and it would be true. and then go out and sign Bumgarner and Donaldson.
  20. Brandon
    I like Gleeman's idea of Bumgarner and Donaldson. Do you think Donaldson would take an extra year at a lower AAV? Say 4 year 88 instead of 3/75?
  21. Brandon
    I like this move. If we can't bring back Castro, this is the next best thing. Jeffers should be ready for 2021.
  22. Brandon
    I love.the signing as it takes a lot of pressure off. We need a real good starter, but at this point we just need to do better than Gibson and Martin to improve the rotation. Also at this price I wonder if there is enough to sign Donaldson to a three year deal after we sign Bumgarner?
  23. Brandon
    If the Twins resign Pineda, the question becomes....does the other starting pitcher the Twins sign and Dobnak make a better combo than Gibson and Martin? And with that other pitcher will we be able to afford a player like Donaldson For 3b?
  24. Brandon
    Does this count as a team improvement transaction?
  25. Brandon
    I think if the Twins can go sign Pineda to be a 4th starter in the 2 year 22-24 million. I would be fine with the Twins signing Gausman to a Martin Perez style contract of a 1 year with option contract. That would still leave us plenty of money to sign a starting pitcher like Bumgarner, Wheeler, or Ryu to a contract.
