thetwinsarethebest’s 2025 Payroll Blueprint:
Cory Engelhardt replied to thetwinsarethebest's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Based on the roster I'd imagine he and Festa were traded for Jose Ramirez. Could be wrong -
thetwinsarethebest’s 2025 Payroll Blueprint:
Cory Engelhardt replied to thetwinsarethebest's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Why not dig deeper though. I'd like to bring in 2004 Barry Bonds, 1990 Rickey Henderson and 1999 Pedro Martinez. I bet we'd only have to trade Nick Punto and Lew Ford to make it happen :) -
See, if the twins were trading someone like Pablo, I would be pushing for both of Basallo and Mayo in a package. Baltimore needs pitching, and they have high end prospects. Again, I don’t want to trade Pablo. But if they were blown away by a deal (not just a fair trade, one you can’t say no to) that is what it would look like no?
-
I don't want them to trade Pablo. But I also think Baltimore is the team that will still add someone via trade. I do think Buehler is more of a lottery ticket for Boston. If they are expecting more than 120 healthy innings from him this year, I guess that'd surprise me. Again, I don't want to trade Pablo
-
That's a whole lot of conjecture rolled up nicely in a sentence you got there.
-
I mean, that is Minnesota. You don't have to like it, but the Twins do have talent on their roster. Sorry to break it to you.
-
On top of all of this (and I agree, he won't and shouldn't be traded) why in the world would he accept a trade if he weren't getting a contract extension from the trading team? And with that, what team is giving him an extension on his current deal. It's not happening, nor should it.
-
Both would be a help to the lineup and the clubhouse.
-
Maybe so. But Keaschall’s bat will play at the mlb level. So whatever works
-
Have you heard of beer though?
-
And the Marlins sent a catching prospect back. Keaschall’s bat is far superior, but this kid sounds like he will be able to play defense. But really, one could argue, when you have prospects in the 60-100 range like Caba and Keaschall, they are probably about similar prospects in the industry. One team may prefer one to the other.
-
So quotable, so exciting, and so generous and kind. They truly don’t make them like him. Rest in peace to one of the absolute greats
-
I’ll only add; wouldn’t it be just as easy to say; if you are a pitcher in baseball, you would have injury concerns?
-
Berrios is 6 years older than SWR. In Berrios’s age 23 season he threw 12 more innings at the mlb level than SWR did last year. He has been durable, and he has a fan in me. Based on only the numbers you laid out, expecting SWR to get those inning and strikeout totals isn’t really a big ask, barring health. I hope both of them have long and productive careers
-
Both Lee and Lewis I'd attribute some of their performance to injuries. Hopefully both will have great 2025 seasons. Julien, I guess we'll see. To me he is on the outside looking in currently. If he can get back to his 2023 pace, then he has a spot at 1b/2b/dh in some capacity. But we'll see what other moves are made. So many guys on the team, on the position player side specifically, have things individually they can prove.

I'd also be happy that we got our new hitting coach from them. He could totally give positive insight on what players to make a focus if we are talking trade, especially on the hitting side.
-
It's not perfect, and definitely shouldn't be the only one used. But I grabbed it quick just to compare and show that it wasn't "terrible."
-
I don't know for sure if the Ishbia brothers (if they are going to buy the team) won't want Falvey around. But I will say, Falvey and Zoll (side note, if Falvey and Lavine were Falvine, are we going to try out FalZoll?) are in charge right now, and they are listening on Pablo or anyone, they will have to decide on baseball decisions today right? And I'd be totally fine having them make baseball decisions instead of ones that would just be for cost cutting.
-
Woods Richardson earned 1.8 WAR via fangraphs in 2024, getting paid the minimum. Berrios earned 1.0 WAR making 21 million. And you are saying that's terrible?
-
I'd do the Paddack trade again, and I'd 100% do the Mahle trade again. Just because the results didn't work out doesn't mean the process wasn't fine. You have the power of hindsight saying these things. At the time of the trades people were fine with them.
-
I think you'd have to be blown away to trade Pablo. If they do get blown away with an offer, then you listen. For people that like looking at baseball trade values, think at least double of what Pablo is valued at. That's what I mean. Not equal value, double. I don't know what he is currently, but it's a kind of deal that you would have to say sounds interesting to do it. I don't want to trade him, I don't. But it's good to listen on everyone.

Royce isn't going for 2 years of a pitcher who has had injury concerns. I have been a fan of Luzardo for years, but Royce is off the table in those discussions.

I’d hate to trade him. I would. I don’t see Boston trading Duran, but I would imagine they would start with Casas and Meyer. If Baltimore does offer Basallo and say another of their high end guys (Mayo?) and maybe a lottery ticket, it could get interesting. I bet new hitting coach Borgschulte would have an opinion to share.
-
I don’t know if this should be in another thread. If so I apologize. But Max Kepler, long time Twin, is signing a 1 year deal for 10 million. Best of luck to Max
