    I'll add to it, why would Correa accept a trade where he ISN'T getting an extension on his contract? And with that, why would a team be giving him an extension? It's not happening.

    Hi Seth, I do agree that the cupboard isn't bare. They need some luck with health, but I think (if you compare this to an old house) the "bones" are good on this roster. That said, they've said specifically they want a right handed hitting outfielder and a true 1B. They also still have 2 open 40 man roster spots. I'm be beyond shocked if they don't fill their 40 man roster, and add the positions they say they are looking for. My guess is via trade, but still.

    Sign me up. Every scouting report I've read says he is a solid defensive catcher, at least at this point in his career. If they can bring him in, and even have him at either AA or AAA to start, that's a good thing to have.

    With how cheap he is and how much team control he has, I really have to think that SWR is entirely too low on this list. To compare, both Julien and Miranda could be traded this offseason for little, where I’d have to imagine trading SWR would bring back more than either, and by quite a bit no?

    Always appreciate your writing. Thank you. Have a great day!
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah on the national level. Not locally. And if a team wants a player, and all of the rumored offers are trash (like they have been) how do you put any legitimacy to it. Its not happening
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Oh wow, Diego Cartaya was designated to make room for Kim in LA. He was such a highly ranked prospect not that long ago. He hasn't hit a ton, but no doubt someone puts in a claim. Wonder if the Twins try to get him somehow?
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll take that bet on Lopez getting moved. It's not happening I'll also argue that Festa and Matthews should rightfully be ahead of Paddack in the pecking order if he is moved or not.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    3 years 12.5 million. Good deal for him it seems. Sounds like he is a good up the middle defender who makes a lot of contact. If we are making this Twins related, this certainly takes them out of the running for a team that would look to acquire Willi Castro. At least that's what I would guess.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Varland is a bullpen guy. He'll be a good one too in my opinion. He isn't a rotation option. Zebby and Festa and Morris are all really close to helping any major league team in a positive way. Lewis and Culpepper both theorhetically aren't far away either. After that, I do think Raya will have the reins taken off this year at AAA. That St. Paul rotation will be fun.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    Hypothetically, if the twins do trade a starting pitcher, then he absolutely would have a spot in the top 5 no? Or, it's just good to have depth anyway. If they start the season with 6 starting pitchers (and use 10 throughout the year) shouldn't they plan/expect for that?
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be open to it. Fedde would have been a fantastic addition last offseason. His 2023 numbers in the KBO were better than Hart's were in 2024, but similar strikeout and walk numbers are intriguing. And you are right, they can sign players any time. It's not at all that they HAVE to offload salaries before they sign players.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    You aren't wrong. I don't see him ending up here. It's fun to dream, but right now is a hard time for the Twins to give a full presentation. My guess is Seattle
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I know, but Falvey has said they want to add a 1B. I don't at all believe they think Miranda is a viable option full time at 1B. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he is traded in the next 6 weeks. Lots of moving parts coming. If Miranda is here (I'm a fan of his, I'd love for it to work for him here) I think he'll be more a DH and backup at 1b and 3b to hold a roster spot. That, to me, points again to Willi Castro probably getting moved.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    I'm interested a little bit for a few reasons. 1) He is really strong on defense at 1B. That's something the Twins have said they want. He was runner up in gold glove voting to Santana last year. 2) He is signed fairly affordably through 2026. That's not the worst thing either truly. 3) Our new hitting coach has worked with him for the last 3 seasons. Knows what he has been working on and (hopefully) how to tap into what he had in 2021 or 2022 as far as power goes. 4) He is still on the younger side, as he turns 28 in February. I'm not saying he is a savior or anything. But if you are wanting to add good defense at 1B, with some pop, he can help in those categories.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Couldn't you also think longer term and know that the market is strong, the pitching development has been solid, and new ownership coming in will be supportive? Certainly he's not looking at such a small sample size as a minor trade for any team right? That said, my guess is Seattle.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    None of the major league pitchers the Twins have, including Festa, should be available for Mountcastle alone. Pablo should be off the table completely, but if they are bringing up Mayo or Basallo (I prefer Basallo) then I could see Ober being an ask. Something like Mountcastle and Basallo could get interesting. For Mountcastle alone, I could see the twins flipping one of their many aa/aaa arms that are close to mlb ready.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Doogie mentioned yesterday the Twins really like Ryan Mountcastle. He would be really good for this lineup. Moves will be made in the next 6 weeks. Multiple. Should be interesting
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I appreciate more and more as I get older when people point out that an athlete is old just relative to the sport they play :)
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Have to imagine Trevor Amicone had some info to share on why he is worth going after with his time with the Yankees. Never a bad minor league signing. We'll see if he makes up it from St. Paul.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    You mention Royce Lewis is the 3b. I guess I've been thinking he'll be the 2b. Curious how that plays out. But you are right, moves are coming, and they will have to add both to get to a full 40 man roster, as well as just set a floor at minimum. Interesting next 6 weeks or so with the offseason to go.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I think it does depend on personnel mostly. Lots of moves to still be made this offseason. Is Castro back? What role does Austin Martin play? Who is their 1B? Who is their right handed hitting outfielder they add? The moves they do make will answer some of the questions. That said, IF Lewis and Lee and Correa and Buxton are healthy, when they are on the field I don't see any of them having a regular platoon. Everyone else, it depends on the matchups to a certain extent and who they have on the roster.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I’d be open to these pieces if they truly would upgrade catcher and somewhere in our pitching rotation. I think I would actually pull the trigger IF there was a true prospect added to this. Like these two with Jackson Ferris, or even Andy Pages, then you have my attention
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    Thanks!
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Where did you see this? His numbers in the KBO are impressive
