    I would absolutely be open to this if the player they are bringing in would be more ready to help than either Emmanuel Rodriguez or Luke Keaschall. And I can totally see trading a young arm. I like the creativity of thought here
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I can’t see them trading anyone coming off a down or injured season.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah see, to me I wouldn't trade him for prospects either. I would very much listen to bring back a player or players that can help the 2025 roster. And my value for him would be VERY high.
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    I feel like there are 3 options here, 2 more likely... 1) They truly are going to try him as a starter, as they think he could be a high end starter. If he can transition and his stuff and command stay about the same, theoretically it could work. 2) They are open to trading him, and they are saying this to build up his potential value. There are probably teams out there asking about him thinking they can turn him to a starter ongoing, and the Twins would want starter level value back in trade vs reliever level value coming back. IF both of these don't happen, obviously he is a high end reliever. But relievers can be so fungible in terms of results year to year.

    Which makes me still go to a place that this is coming out because they want Jax’s trade value to be that of a starter. If some team will trade for him as if he were a starter, then more would be coming back right?

    Just came here to say that Reynaldo Lopez, in 2023, pitched in 68 games. Only 6 of those appearances went for more than 1 inning. He then went on to throw 135 really good starter innings in 2024. Im not certain if Jax could also make the jump. But his stuff and command are better now than in 2021. Id be open to giving it a shot
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    But what if it is a good prospect with him? I feel like he would help the lineup. Just throwing out a potential idea
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    What about a deal centered around Alec Bohm? Solid hitter who is signed through 2026, good strikeout numbers and some power. Maybe he and one of their decent prospects? I’d probably consider it
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree that that amount of value coming back is what it would take. If that offer is out there, you listen
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    If we were to trade him for an all star level bat, possibly 1b, then I may be open to it. He isn’t someone I would trade for prospects. He is certainly someone who had a career year. Im not saying I want him traded. But he makes sense if we truly can help the lineup in my opinion
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed on both Varland and Canterino. I can't get there with Prielipp yet.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    This. 100% That said, depending on the return, I could see Ober being listened on. Jax too. Really anyone who is coming off a career year makes more sense to me. Not that I want to trade them, but trading ANYONE coming off a down and/or injured year just does not make sense.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Even if Mayer is a great prospect, I can't seem to understand the upside in trading their ace. I do actually like the Twins depth in terms of how the rotation is shaping up, but that doesn't include trading their best pitcher. I also don't see how trading away Lopez helps the overall value of the team in a potential sale.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    They've been pretty good, I'd say, when trading a player for a younger player/prospect. The bag's been super mixed, and most likely worse, when attempting to add/buy. Generally I'd argue, any trades they make this offseason, remember the names of the guys that are the add-in or the young player with the main guy they get. If it is a pitcher, I'd feel pretty good that they like that player's traits.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Let’s say the plan is to try Jax in the rotation, and maybe even start the year with a 6 man rotation. If that is the case, I’d imagine Castro could bring back a decent reliever at minimum
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I can see that too for sure
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Echoing some of the others here; I have a hard time having Rosario this high in the rankings.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Let's say the plan is to move Jax into the rotation. Let's say that happens. Would that make you more open to trading one of the other starters? Specifically I'll throw out either Ober or even SWR. Just if we are being creative and looking for ideas.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    If they were open to trading him, it would be to a team who would want to try him as a starter. So the value would have to be there in my opinion. If the Twins intend to try him as a starter, I’d keep him. But you are right, he is coming off a career best year. There is a non zero chance 2024 was his career year. Id be open to listening, depending on the return
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah, I can see that. I'm not certain I actually even really like any of the ideas offered. Maybe that's because I'm biased towards keeping Lewis. Good to turn over every stone, I get that. Just saying.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    This response is not to your writing. Your writing is good. I loathe the idea of trading him right now so much. He is coming off an awful 2nd half, and I can’t see a way they get value for him as if he had a great year. Plus if the worry is payroll, why trade someone like him who is making minimal. I am so hopeful that this isn’t a move that happens this offseason
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    This is gross and disappointing. I just can’t see this happening
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Thanks!
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I do think, with how they keep saying they need to be creative this offseason, that we will see a trade at some point that is surprising, and hopefully it's in a good way. I do imagine they will take a "swing" for a player, as well as some other minor trades too.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I like the thought process of getting a different catcher in a trade of Jeffers (plus) and pairing that new/younger catcher with Vazquez for a year. I would hope that whatever catcher they do bring in can catch at minimum to the level the Jeffers currently was defensively. Good thought process.
