    Gotta say, I don’t really love either of these options. It’s probably naive, but I would love to trade for a big bat. Yandy Diaz would be so good here, but if he isn’t available, I would go to the giants and flip something to them for Lamonte Wade jr. He also is signed just through 2025 for only about 4 million, and he gets on base a lot (when he is healthy)

    That could be. That said, here are his innings totals for the last 4 seasons... 2021 = 130 innings 2022 = 154 1/3 innings 2023 = 144 innings 2024 = 127 2/3 innings. Just as an arm that can give innings, I wouldn't be shocked if he gets regular turns at AAA. Innings are needed, and he's been healthy/durable.

    According to the Twins transaction log on their site, they've signed a 17 year old left handed starter out of Cuba named Marlon Mirabel. All I can find on him is an Instagram post. In it is says he signed for 35k, and throws 89-91 mph with a curveball that currently spins about 2,800 rpm. https://www.instagram.com/francysromerofr/p/DDknPEdJHJI/?img_index=1

    And with this, IF the Twins don't get him (which I think is the easy betting line right, my guess is a west coast team) then that means all the players that were going to go to the team that signs Sasaki will be set to be free agents. Hopefully they can jump in and get someone that may be available either way. But yes, Sasaki would be fun :)

    It’s good to be optimistic and have hope. :)
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Easy answer no. Longer answer is also no

    Another big name trade today. Isaac Paredes (he is a stud, and probably now the replacement for Bregman) along with their first round pick from 2024 Cam Smith (Jamie Cameron loved him pre draft) and pitcher Hayden Wisneski go to Houston. Really solid return for one year of Tucker, who is a great player in his own right.

    Nestor Cortes and 2b prospect Caleb Durbin to Milwaukee. Durbin certainly looks like a player based on numbers. Yankees bullpen replaces Clay Holmes with Devin Williams. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=durbin000cal

    Maybe they can glom onto a deal (similar with Mookie going to the Dodgers where we sent Graterol and got back Maeda and Camargo) for one of the teams that are looking to do something after missing out on Soto. For example, maybe if the Cubs make a move to get Kyle Tucker, maybe we get involved as a 3rd team to get Isaac Paredes? I do think that when being creative, they should be open to lots of ideas.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    This makes sense depending on the return
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I like it when threats sound enjoyable. :) I appreciate your writing. Thanks!

    Of the options you laid out I'd prefer a short extension to Paddack. I am not trading Correa, and I'm really not certain I want to add Zebby to a couple of guys who had some value already. I guess that depends on who is coming back.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Lots of k's, along with low walk numbers, appear worthy of a shot. He was their minor league pitcher of the year, so it's interesting they left him available. Have to see if we have something here I suppose.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Not that I saw. But his numbers are good last year. Lot's of k's, really low walk numbers, and apparently throws a mid 90's fastball. Having him try out for the long reliever role this year isn't the worst thing. He was the Phillies minor league pitcher of the year in 2024.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    https://www.fangraphs.com/players/eiberson-castellano/sa3015414/stats?position=P Good numbers in high A and AA this year. Twins took him in the rule 5.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    His numbers are better in 2023 than in 2024. It's possible he could be in due a bit for a bounce back no? It also wouldn't hurt in this sense to get out of the money to Paddack. I think that's the primary intent here.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    This one works for me. :)
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    These lists are always fun. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if at least one of these players was traded even this offseason. If I put the over/under at 1.5, what would anyone guess as far as how many players JUST on this roster/list are traded before opening day 2025?
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I wouldn't be shocked if they took someone. If they took an outfielder (for example) that may just be an attempt to fill a platoon spot with a rookie instead of a Canha/Grichuk etc. Depending on the rookie, the results may be negligible.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    It makes all of the sense on paper
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    I like Casas, but he wouldn’t be the only guy coming back.

    https://www.si.com/mlb/twins/minnesota-twins-rumors/report-red-sox-have-interest-in-trading-for-twins-carlos-correa-01jerzsdm2cq Apparently Boston wants Correa. Now, I don't want to trade him. I want to try to win with him. So don't shoot the messenger. Just sharing the link. For me to not despise the Twins for trading him, I'd imagine we would have to get at least Mayer and Teel back, and I don't see Boston wanting to do that. I'm not even certain that's a good deal, but that's what I would need to listen at minimum.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Just came here to say that I love your "multiple, high octane, 4 million role players in free agency" line. I would probably buy that t shirt
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll believe it when I see it.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    He wasn't healthy in 2024. I was thinking more, if he were healthy, he could get back closer to his 2023 numbers. But I see where you are coming from. I wasn't at all saying I'd do Ober for Casas 1-1. I'd need another good piece or two. But if it is 2 good pieces (whatever that looks like) that's when I'd listen.
