    Baltimore was said to be listening to offers to sell around January 1 of 2024. The sale was announced end of March 2024. That turnaround was only about 3 months give or take
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    Optimism is good to have
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    This is great news. Ryan is very good when he is on and healthy

    As far as age/yearly salary/position/talent level go, Correa for Arenado would be pennies on the dollar
  5. Cory Engelhardt
    You said Arenado for Correa. I must have read that wrong.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah, but then you have to get into why in the world the Twins would sell Correa for pennies on the dollar?
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    You had me until you said that he doesn't want to spend his career on a 65 win team. For everything that went right, and wrong, last year; the Twins aren't a 65 win team.
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Most teams (even the Dodgers) use 10 or 11 different pitchers to start a game in a full season. That’s pretty normal
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    But then the question gets asked; is there upside to having Paddack ahead of Festa/SWR/Zebby/Morris in some capacity? I still think Paddack could be a decent back-end starter for a lot of teams. And I also agree you can never have enough pitching. But comparing how much is out there now in the trade market to what MIGHT be available at the deadline, assuming he stays healthy, is hard to comprehend for me. Plus, with the apparent payroll maximum the Pohlad family has decided on, it's hard for me to see why keeping Paddack past opening day makes sense.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Why? Just curious.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd argue their 2019 draft was actually really strong. Wallner, Spencer Steer, Sawyer Gibson-Long, Casey Legumina, Brent Headrick, Louie Varland and Edouard Julien all have made the majors so far. Some have been traded for other deals, but drafting them and having them make the majors IS an accomplishment. Also, taking a shot at NOW top 100 prospect Drew Gilbert was smart too, even though he wasn't going to sign.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll add to it, why would Correa accept a trade where he ISN'T getting an extension on his contract? And with that, why would a team be giving him an extension? It's not happening.

    Hi Seth, I do agree that the cupboard isn't bare. They need some luck with health, but I think (if you compare this to an old house) the "bones" are good on this roster. That said, they've said specifically they want a right handed hitting outfielder and a true 1B. They also still have 2 open 40 man roster spots. I'm be beyond shocked if they don't fill their 40 man roster, and add the positions they say they are looking for. My guess is via trade, but still.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Sign me up. Every scouting report I've read says he is a solid defensive catcher, at least at this point in his career. If they can bring him in, and even have him at either AA or AAA to start, that's a good thing to have.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    With how cheap he is and how much team control he has, I really have to think that SWR is entirely too low on this list. To compare, both Julien and Miranda could be traded this offseason for little, where I’d have to imagine trading SWR would bring back more than either, and by quite a bit no?
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    Always appreciate your writing. Thank you. Have a great day!
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah on the national level. Not locally. And if a team wants a player, and all of the rumored offers are trash (like they have been) how do you put any legitimacy to it. Its not happening
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    Oh wow, Diego Cartaya was designated to make room for Kim in LA. He was such a highly ranked prospect not that long ago. He hasn't hit a ton, but no doubt someone puts in a claim. Wonder if the Twins try to get him somehow?
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I'll take that bet on Lopez getting moved. It's not happening I'll also argue that Festa and Matthews should rightfully be ahead of Paddack in the pecking order if he is moved or not.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    3 years 12.5 million. Good deal for him it seems. Sounds like he is a good up the middle defender who makes a lot of contact. If we are making this Twins related, this certainly takes them out of the running for a team that would look to acquire Willi Castro. At least that's what I would guess.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Varland is a bullpen guy. He'll be a good one too in my opinion. He isn't a rotation option. Zebby and Festa and Morris are all really close to helping any major league team in a positive way. Lewis and Culpepper both theorhetically aren't far away either. After that, I do think Raya will have the reins taken off this year at AAA. That St. Paul rotation will be fun.
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Hypothetically, if the twins do trade a starting pitcher, then he absolutely would have a spot in the top 5 no? Or, it's just good to have depth anyway. If they start the season with 6 starting pitchers (and use 10 throughout the year) shouldn't they plan/expect for that?
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be open to it. Fedde would have been a fantastic addition last offseason. His 2023 numbers in the KBO were better than Hart's were in 2024, but similar strikeout and walk numbers are intriguing. And you are right, they can sign players any time. It's not at all that they HAVE to offload salaries before they sign players.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    You aren't wrong. I don't see him ending up here. It's fun to dream, but right now is a hard time for the Twins to give a full presentation. My guess is Seattle
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I know, but Falvey has said they want to add a 1B. I don't at all believe they think Miranda is a viable option full time at 1B. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he is traded in the next 6 weeks. Lots of moving parts coming. If Miranda is here (I'm a fan of his, I'd love for it to work for him here) I think he'll be more a DH and backup at 1b and 3b to hold a roster spot. That, to me, points again to Willi Castro probably getting moved.
