    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.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    Having baseball as a distraction from reality still helps me I must say. But I get that too.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    Lots of things to figure out for sure. Rumors around the deadline are fun aren't they? :)
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    This IS the argument.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    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.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    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?
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    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
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    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?
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    Is this a rumor somewhere?
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Whoever gives the return you want back
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Just throwing it out, what with Emmanuel Clase being suspended indefinitely now for being potentially involved with the betting scandal that Luis Ortiz got caught up with. That is one less high-end reliever available at the deadline. Awful for Cleveland. But have to think this adds to the desperation of a team looking for a high end reliever. We'll see if this changes how much the Twins are offered for Jax or Duran
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed on everything. None of those deals actually make all that much sense.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I think fun is a good thing, and people should have as much joy as possible.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    But what if the Twins threw in Zach Granite?
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    If he is promoted to AA in August after the deadline, would that change anything in terms of timeline? Gotta say, I wanted him in the draft last year. Curious if he could be a target. Janek feels a bit rich for Castro though, but it'd be fun to get him into our system.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t know how they would get each of these prospects for Ryan. That transaction would be crazy
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    We certain he’s lame duck? I’m not at all certain of that
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Hopefully it wasn't purchased from JD Vance :)
