    #1. The Mets would gladly trade both of those pitchers. But they probably want more MLB ready players. I go back and forth about it but probably too much to give up for .5 yrs. of a starter and 1.5 of a reliever. #2. Gunnar is going nowhere and SS is the one spot that is in good shape in the Twins system. Not trading him at a low point. #3. For 1 1/2 years of a 1B. Another lefty bat, really? Will take more to get Garcia and clogs the roster even further. 1b is not currently a big problem.

    They will appropriately leave him off the 40-man roster. Anyone on the 40-man will be unable to play in the minors during the impending MLB strike next spring. More than many others, he needs to play baseball.

    The Twins Daily writer clearly cannot read. Passan clearly said "teams look at what the Twins are asking for to acquire Duran or Jax -- at least two top-100-caliber prospects". Passan says 2 top-100 prospects for Duran OR Jax. Not for a package of both.

    Were they supposed to fly him to Seattle before sending him to AAA? Instead they flew him to Omaha and he was available to play on Thursday. There is value in assembling a talented team at AAA and in McCusker getting at-bats after getting 6 at-bats during his 9 games in the MLB roster.

    Damn Gregg! Well put. I want him to be a baseball pariah forever.

    Is it possible to get a translation of what and when SWR had for velocity?? 2025, 2024, mid-90's, 93.1, 92.5...?

    Triston Casas was not traded for a quality pitcher for the same reason that Pete Alonzo is still waiting for a free-agent contract. The production difference is not worth the asking costs in dollars or players. Casas sounds a lot like a left-handed Jose Miranda, though a little more consistent.

    This more satirical than anything RandBall has ever written.

    Twins Writers, Pencil Pushers of the Realm, Push an Old, Sorry Trope instead of Original Thought and Writing!

    The mythology around Torri and Morneau makes for a good story but the reality is different. Neither one bounced up and down several times. They each had one decently long stretch stretch in MLB, was sent down once for a stretch and was then back up for good. You can actually look it up.

    You know Cal Ripken? He's the guy who comes to work when he has the flu and gets everyone else sick but gets a gold star for just showing up.

    In each case, it seems the Twins are giving way too much or literally nothing for the return. Keoni Cavaco for Mark Canha? Caleb Boushley for Ryan Pressley? Only if the PTBNL is a top 15 prospect. Rengifo for Keaschall +? It would be theft if the Angels got Keashall by himself. Please have some sense of reality in these scenarios.

    Never invest a lot of trade capital in a reliever.

    How does a former Umpire get away with saying that the umpires actually call an egg-shaped strike zone? My mind wanted to explode on that one!

    Using a single offensive statistic. But no one (except maybe some hater Mets fans) truly believes that he is overall only 17% better than the average MLB player.

    Francisco Lindor: 16.8 FWAR over 3 seasons in NY (and 12.6 FWAR in the last 2) is leaps and bounds better than "only 17% above league average".

    OMG! It's spring TRAINING for professional baseball players. Thankfully you have no say in the setting of the rules.

    And then it didn't...

    They reached last year's win count with very little offense from either Buxton or Correa and less than Correa's average defense. They had the second best pitcher in the league but lost more than half of his starts. They COULD easily beat last year's total.

    If Miranda has a good year, he would far exceed any reasonable expectation for Soano.

    "There's No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect" Even though you stole Sonny Gray for a Minor League rookie does not mean you should trade someone with value (Polanco) for Harrington, a high-A 'prospect'. Why would Pittsburgh be interested in a veteran 2B with a year plus a reasonable option? They are going nowhere in that timeframe.

    Listened to Atteberry work with Gladden for the short time this summer while Corey was filling in for Bremer. It was like Atteberry was teaching his grandfather about 21st century baseball. It was hilarious.
