    Totally fair. I do think they have been open about wanting solid defense at 1b. I like Casas for his power and his potential, but as of opening day this year he apparently still has a ways to go on defense. I have a gut feeling that Ryan Mountcastle will be our opening day 1b. 2nd in running for gold glove last year, signed through 2026, and our new hitting coach definitely knows him. Baltimore, if anything, could be open to it just with how many young stud hitters they have.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    Gotta say, this is just too low for Casas. I know he is a 1b/dh, but he has legit power and has shown it. Julien was really good in 2023, but doesn’t have a defensive home and couldn’t hit anything that wasn’t a fastball in 2024. He has to have a healthy 3 months while producing to not have negative value right now.

    I have to think Paddack goes at some point, but maybe they do something creative and move Duran for someone that helps in a different area?
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree. I just think being creative here over the course of the offseason and at least listen. I'm not saying I'd be open to trading either Ober or Ryan right now, but you have to see what the offers are right?
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    It'll be interesting to see how this offseason still plays out. They have a full bullpen already as far as guys who don't have options, but adding a lefty is a good thing who has been very good for a couple of years. Any word on the 40 man move with it?
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    What if they do this AND trade for someone like Cease? Would that change your mind?
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    I’d be all for this to be honest, at least in some capacity. I have a hard time seeing Casas being worth either Ober or Ryan alone, but maybe they have another piece or two to attach to Casas that we would like? I’d at least be open to it

    So Dan was on Foul Territory today, a youtube show. I thought it was a good segment. Just sharing the link. His spot starts about the 48.50 mark give or take. He doesn't think it's likely the Twins get Cease, but he thinks it's something they should do.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    Only commenting to say that Zebby and Festa and SWR and possibly even Morris are all likely to produce the same that Paddack will in 2025, if not out produce. The twins do have starting pitching depth, and that’s a good thing. If they are bringing in a starting pitcher, I want it at or near the top of the rotation, not the back. Trading off Paddack to get salary to help with a different position or two on the roster is ok. They already have starting pitching depth to cover what Paddack would give as far as production
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be curious if this means there would be MORE to spend (than 5 million) if they were to trade Paddack (for example) in a salary dump? My guess is the 5 million more to spend is if they don't sell off anyone at this point, right?
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    He is only like 4 months older, and he does have strikeout stuff. But I like SWR to start the year more for sure
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    Technically he turns 25 in May, so as of today he is only 24.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    I have a hard time putting Zebby ahead of SWR with what SWR produced last season, but I like both of their potential
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t think Vazquez is the sole reason they would trade Cease
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    No, but if the new ownership group is saying they are good with adding that kind of salary, and the Pohlad's know a sale will be done in the coming months, then the Pohlad's wouldn't be the one paying that salary anyway right? I don't think Pete comes here. But I do think other move or moves could happen and that completely be a sign that the sale of the team is getting closer.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Gotta say, I don't know if I have had all that many (or any, I suppose?) ejaculations when thinking about Travis Blankenhorn. Self censoring, sure. Maybe I'm truly not living my best life? Who's to say.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    If Cease is traded to any team, I’d be surprised if more than 3 players go back for him. That many guys in one deal is difficult with 40 man spots. Of course, I just checked, San Diego only has 35 players currently on their 40 man. Zebby and Larnach and Vazquez and someone like Winokur for Cease and maybe a reliever would work I would imagine
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    They can do both, no?
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    They can add Cease and a 1b via trade (let’s call him Ryan Mountcastle) and not by any means empty the farm system to do that.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    The White Sox gave up that much for Cease when he had 2 years of control remaining. What goes for him now with only one season of control wouldn’t theoretically be as high a return. Man would he look good here
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Would you do something like Festa and Vazquez for Cease and a prospect arm they like? With that, they could also plan on giving Cease the QO 8 months from now and probably recoup a decent comp pick at minimum no? Now, with all that, IF they were to do a deal like this, I'd imagine an actual 1B via trade would also be in play for another move right?
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    No love for Kyle Lohse? :) If we need a door broken down, I think he may know a guy :)
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Is there another step for Cole Sands to take? Is there anything there with Justin Topa if he is healthy? Will they trade someone like Duran to add a piece or pieces to other spots on the roster? If I play MLB the show, and make Connor Prielipp a 99 as a setup man, will the Twins win the next 5 world series? :)
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    He did have a couple blowup outings at the end of September that were awful. No argument there. That’s why I am saying spring training will be interesting
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree, he isn’t a rotation option any longer. I just know he looked really good as a bullpen option at the end of 2023. I think it’s worth seeing his stuff play up in shorter stints again. That’s something he wasn’t afforded the chance in 2024
