  1. It’s the Stewart deal for Outman that I am confused by. But the Varland deal, I like the Rojas return.
  2. Bradley may be. 4 years of team control
  3. It actually is a really strong draft fwiw.
  4. I'm failing to see the fit too. Hope I'm wrong. That said, I'm good with not seeing Keirsey play a ton.
  5. And they wouldn't have traded for him if they were planning to JUST move him to the bullpen. Not for trading Duran.
  6. I'd be shocked if Abel is positioned for the bullpen next year. Shocked.
  7. Bob Nightengale just reported that the Correa trade is dead. Astros wanted the Twins to cover 50 million of the remaining salary (102.5 million) and send them an outfielder (Larnach maybe?) and that amount of money was too much for Minnesota to agree to.
  8. I would be, ESPECIALLY on Coulombe.
  9. Doing nothing would be a disaster.
  10. Shows how much waste it is to make deals on the baseballtradevalues site. Tyler Rogers was worth 0.2 on there. He received 26.8 back in value. Duran is going to bring a HAUL based on that site I imagine.
  11. It should be the initial ask. Doesn't mean that's the red line, but good that was the ask.
  12. Yeah really all of this and selling at the deadline, and possibly including Correa being moved is towards 2026 and 2027. That's all I meant.
  13. JUST for fun; how far away is Walker Jenkins in this scenario? Not saying he is mlb ready, but I'd very much be excited to see him too.
  14. I'd want a better return, and I'd push to even pay a LITTLE more down to get Walker Janek. Another catching addition would help our organization.
  15. Having baseball as a distraction from reality still helps me I must say. But I get that too.
  16. Lots of things to figure out for sure. Rumors around the deadline are fun aren't they? :)
  17. I get that, and not at all arguing that thought. Maybe it's Brooks Lee at SS next year. Maybe it'd be a different SS not in the organization. I just said Culpepper because he may be at AAA before the end of the year and certainly could debut in 2026. Doesn't mean he is ready to take over at SS, but he could debut next year in my opinion.
  18. I just meant it doesn't necessarily mean it was ONLY done for savings. Yes the prospect they got back is pretty far away, but that doesn't mean he didn't have value too.
  19. IF they are better in 2026, isn't that the goal? Not saying they truly become the Rays. But if getting off of Correa does open a spot for Culpepper (as an example) and allows to sign someone else (even if it isn't a total payroll as high) that still is a tier or 2 ahead of how Tampa has operated right? Anyway, I'm 3 steps ahead here. This is probably just a rumor. Fun thought experiment.
  20. I think we should revisit this thought on ONLY making deals for cost-savings after the entirety of the deadline is through. But really, neither Paddack or Dobnak were to be on the 2026 team right?
  21. Are the Twins a better team in 2026 with Correa at SS again? Or are they better with Culpepper or Lee at SS, along with adding Walker Janek and a starting pitching prospect they like? Just throwing this out as a thought experiment
  22. I'm with you on this. I don't see any way that the Pohlad's would reinvest the salary savings in any meaningful way. I'm not even certain that a new owner truly would either. That said, if Correa is unhappy AND the Twins don't think he can be a high end SS anymore, then maybe that's the reasoning?
