Doesn't the saying around if a lefty has value, they need 2 things... 1) Are they left handed? 2) Are they breathing? I am a little surprised he got a major league deal, but him having some potential for value isn't crazy at all based on his overall track record. Hopefully he can get back to being an asset.
-
Best of luck to him
-
So is Ryan and Ober for that matter. I'm not saying we trade any of them. But Baltimore is a team that HAS to be getting desperate at some point to add pitching, right? I'm fairly certain they are talking to teams about trades. Seattle for sure, but there are others. We'll see what they do too.
-
I like getting more and more players who can put the bat on the ball. If Gasper isn’t on the opening day roster (presumably because they have 2 catchers ahead of him on the depth chart) he has 3 options remaining. So he could be good insurance to have for the next 3 years at minimum. Trevor Amicone certainly knows him from Gasper’s time in the Yankee system too. Plus, awesome moustache.

I doubt Detroit would want Paddack, but I suppose you never know. I was mostly just saying I think Paddack has value around the league generally. That’s unrelated to me saying I’d be ok taking a chance on Torkelson here
-
I would argue he has some yes
-
I’m all in favor of trying a move like this. If nothing else it’s someone with experience at 1b defensively.
-
Adding to this thread; with Gleyber going to Detroit for 2025, and Colt Keith now listed as the primary 1B for 2025 on roster resource, I wouldn't HATE the idea of sending something to Detroit to get Torkelson here. Would I prefer to shoot higher? Sure. But he graded out about average, if not just slightly above average, defensively at 1B. There aren't a LOT of guys out there who are still available who aren't just flat butchers on defense. He also is still fairly young, and had an ok August and September last year. Could be a nice change of scenery for him. Two questions... 1) Would you be in favor of a move like this? 2) What would Detroit want to move off of Torkelson?

Any chance for a 4,000 page coffee table book that is just the comments from the Brian Dozier trade thread years ago? :)

1 year 15 million. Interesting signing for them. He's only 28, so young for a free agent generally. Interesting to see if he can bounce back for them after a down regular season for him in New York in 2024.
-
Agreed completely. IF they are trading any of their core, it HAS to be a good baseball move, not just a salary dump. Good article

What were the trades for Rooker and Fairbanks?
-
New assistant hitting coach Trevor Amicone certainly would have worked with him during Gasper’s time in the Yankees system.

Based on the roster I'd imagine he and Festa were traded for Jose Ramirez. Could be wrong -

Why not dig deeper though. I'd like to bring in 2004 Barry Bonds, 1990 Rickey Henderson and 1999 Pedro Martinez. I bet we'd only have to trade Nick Punto and Lew Ford to make it happen :) -
See, if the twins were trading someone like Pablo, I would be pushing for both of Basallo and Mayo in a package. Baltimore needs pitching, and they have high end prospects. Again, I don’t want to trade Pablo. But if they were blown away by a deal (not just a fair trade, one you can’t say no to) that is what it would look like no?
-
I don't want them to trade Pablo. But I also think Baltimore is the team that will still add someone via trade. I do think Buehler is more of a lottery ticket for Boston. If they are expecting more than 120 healthy innings from him this year, I guess that'd surprise me. Again, I don't want to trade Pablo
-
That's a whole lot of conjecture rolled up nicely in a sentence you got there.
-
I mean, that is Minnesota. You don't have to like it, but the Twins do have talent on their roster. Sorry to break it to you.
-
On top of all of this (and I agree, he won't and shouldn't be traded) why in the world would he accept a trade if he weren't getting a contract extension from the trading team? And with that, what team is giving him an extension on his current deal. It's not happening, nor should it.
-
Both would be a help to the lineup and the clubhouse.
-
Maybe so. But Keaschall’s bat will play at the mlb level. So whatever works
-
Have you heard of beer though?
-
And the Marlins sent a catching prospect back. Keaschall’s bat is far superior, but this kid sounds like he will be able to play defense. But really, one could argue, when you have prospects in the 60-100 range like Caba and Keaschall, they are probably about similar prospects in the industry. One team may prefer one to the other.
