    We certain he’s lame duck? I’m not at all certain of that
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I still think Kirilloff without that crazy injury would have been a player. Snakebit for sure. This is also why it's important to trust your development staff. I have to imagine they are targeting players who either have already debuted or are super close. Can't imagine if they trade someone like Jax that they will target players in low A.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    First, you are taking a super narrow view at all of this. How does Buxton NOT count as Falvey's, what with Falvey being the team president and all? I can't wrap my head around that. And then just brushing off that Keaschall hasn't had a cup of coffee yet even though he dominated in the minors? Wallner I agree that we don't know truly what we have. But the extended time with an .800 OPS over the course of multiple years shows me something is in there. Lewis certainly when healthy has shown to be above average. You can fill a glass more than a 1/3rd of the way. You seem to be someone who can't even fill it half empty.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    Lewis when healthy would disagree. Buxton this year would disagree. Keaschall I think would disagree. Wallner is still up for debate, but Jeffers (compared to other catchers) would mostly disagree. I don't know what happened with Correa, but just broadly saying they don't develop hitters I think is incorrect.
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    Isn't this sentiment exactly WHY they should get two top 100 prospects if they are going to trade either? They have been good at building relievers. If they can get two top 100 prospects (meaning you are asking double what their value is in baseballtradevalues) then you go for that. If teams aren't meeting that asking price, then you hold onto them.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Hopefully it wasn't purchased from JD Vance :)
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Well, if a team is desperate at the deadline, they HAVE to pay good prices to supplement their team right? If a team wants a good player, they have to pay the price.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Yup, and this headline then is misguided. It should be changed to Jax OR Duran, not Jax AND Duran. That's lowballing both of their value, even compared to very recent trade deadlines.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    The Marlins got a top 50 prospect and 3 other good players for Tanner Scott last year at the deadline, and Scott was a free agent to be. Teams pay more when there is more ongoing team control. The value ask of two top 100 prospects here (even if it isn't exactly how MLB or fangraphs or baseball reference or Keith Law lists their own individual top 100 at any given point) still would apply here.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    I know, but if you look at Passan's original quote, he wrote it as the Twins are looking at 2 top 100 prospects if they are to trade either Jax or Duran. Just because the headline here wrote it differently doesn't change that.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I took it to mean one or the other. That's what the Twins have said, 2 top 100 prospects for one of Jax or Duran.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    That Dodgers one would be REALLY fun. How about something like Tristan Casas and Payton Tolle from Boston? Just to throw out one more idea.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Just came here to add/update; #50 listed here, Angel Cervantes, was taken in the 2nd round of the draft by Pittsburgh. He has since committed back to UCLA and won't sign his pro contract. Should be a fun follow for the draft in 2-3 years.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    C/1B/DH. #4 hitter. To me he is a kind of bat you find room for. I struggle with Caissie a bit, because I like his power but I don't at all like his K rate. I'd be open to it if he could be at 1B. Is he truly a better longer term option than what they have for outfield prospects?
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    I absolutely take Ballesteros over Caissie with his K rate. Don't even need Ballesteros to be a catcher, I just like his bat. Wiggins, I'd like to see what our pitching development could do with him. I think the Cubs would have to consider adding someone even as highly thought of as Cade Horton to make this work though. Just Ballesteros and Wiggins would be something that could be a deal for Duran. For Ryan is a lot more expensive.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I like both of those prospects from the Cubs. I think if the Twins are dealing Ryan, this trade is at least one more higher end prospect short on the Cubs side.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Just for comparison's sake, look what the Padres gave up for Tanner Scott at last year's deadline. The Padres sent Miami 4 prospects (all in the Padres top 5 at the time) including #44 overall Robby Snelling. And Scott was a free agent at the end of last year.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    $4,497,500, and slot value for the 16th pick is $4,929,600, so they save 432,100 under slot to give to other guys. First one is done
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    HIGH end relievers with multiple years of control usually get at least 1 top 100 prospect.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Good. All that team control has high value.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Only adding that I'm not in love with Caissie's strikeout rate at AAA. Ballesteros would certainly be interesting though.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be REALLY curious if they could get something for Caleb Thielbar. That would be some true voodoo magic :) But if they can make smart moves to prepare for 2026, I think that's better than doing nothing at all.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I loved this article. Thank you for sharing. It also makes me think that if this were to happen, that they were to be aggressive in trading, that they would target players who are at least at AA if not already having debuted to help the 2026 team. That's fun to dream on. We'll see what happens in the end. Lots of moving parts with ownership in flux.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Aren't Ober and Keaschall both starting rehab assignments tonight with the Saints? That will certainly be fun to follow :)
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm all for this. I would absolutely love if they both A) Traded their free agents to be, which is opening up spots for guys at AAA to potentially get a look, and B) sent some prospects for a 1B/DH/OF bat or two that would solidify the lineup. That would be a great deadline in my opinion. In the end, even if they ONLY sell but Lewis and Wallner and Correa don't wake up, then it won't matter. Same if they actually buy, it's kind of those 3 who have to start hitting like they are expected to that will drive the last 2+ months anyway.
