This is a good explanation. Just a couple of points worth considering. BTV? it is interesting, but does anyone really believe that Griffin Jax, who we like, is a close match for Juan Soto? There are dozens of examples of insane trades possible using the numbers from that site. Emmanuel Rodriguez may be among the top ten prospects in baseball and yet his value is more than 50 points less than many other equal prospects and similar to Griffin Jax. Again, I like the idea of thinking who can be acquired and Keller (from Cedar Rapids, Iowa) would be a strong addition to any team. The other piece of any trade is to think like a fan of both teams in hopes of finding a transaction that fills needs for each of the squads. Bednar may be a possible idea if the Twins send back a starting pitcher or add a good prospect to Polanco. Some people hate the idea of suggested trades but others of us like playing around for fun. It's just a goofy guessing game by all of us and about the same as the national "experts" who make money writing up their ideas. We are not GMs or PBOs, just fans. We have to keep the ideas moving.

I'm not sure how you came up with this trade and put this combination together. Did the thought of Pagan leaving or the contract for Jimenez spark the thoughts of adding pitching? Bednar has three years left and Keller two years left of salary control. Decent. Both are excellent pitchers that would help any team. Julien was essentially the player that got the Twins going this year. Maybe he has peaked. Emmanuel Rodriguez is right there with (in talent) Walker Jenkins, but prospects can always fail. I like the idea of thinking about pitching but I'm going to ask that Pittsburgh throw in Skenes if Erod goes the other way. The Pirates are looking for a second baseman, but trading those two would lengthen their rebuild as well. Who knows though? Don't see a match with this trade. I do like how bold it is, but too bold for me.

Good luck to Emilio Pagan. He finished his Twins career with a solid year.
-
You are correct - I can't play hockey, especially in Mexico. Haven't played a game of hockey since switching to basketball after Bantoms. I remember it was fun flying around the ice.

That's a wrap. Five long cold months ahead ......
-
True. Trades, prospects, free agents, and the waiver wire.
-
Well, the Rangers have seen Sewald a ton from his days in Seattle and .... well, Semien is just outstanding.
-
What a year for Semien. All time leader in PA in a season, closes it out with a bomb. Just wow.
-
Man, I really feel for Thomas. He has been so good in CF.
-
Nope. Confidence in Sborz.

Two Paths for Emmanuel Rodriguez and the Twins
tony&rodney replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Oh I love how Royce plays so happy, almost like he has recovered from two ACL surgeries and is now in the major leagues. Still, Erod has a swagger that jumps off the screen and he seeks the moment. They are Twins. -
Does Texas go for the six out save?
-
Carter takes similar at bats to Julien. He lays off of pitches he doesn't think are good for hits ... and he has some swing and miss in his game too.
-
The work by the umpires has been really outstanding in this series.

Two Paths for Emmanuel Rodriguez and the Twins
tony&rodney replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Minor League Talk
Take a look at the Splits for Emmanuel sometime. When he learns to concentrate throughout every at bat, Erod is going to be a beast. -
not happening He is out now.
-
D Backs wiggled out of that inning. Don't understand why Texas did not send Carter. He is fast and Thomas does not have much of an arm. Great game.
-
Hey, maybe the Twins should target Gurriel Jr. He is a winner.
-
Wow, what a catch.
-
What's a Celebrity?

Perdomo - what Ashbury said. Nice play.

Fair. I do believe Lee will be a good regular. He may even make an All Star team. I don'r see him as a superstar talent. Still, Brooks Lee hasn't even played his first game yet so literally all possibilities on the continuum from left to right are unknowns. The line, "Lee will be be really good" was too absolute even if it is pretty vague. Thus the criticism is warranted.
-
Good baseball .... good entertainment. Have loved the playoffs.
-
The job ahead for Falvey is to identify those players to add who bring the potential for the Twins to be a better team next season.
-
Lee will be really good at the MLB level.
