  1. But what if it is a good prospect with him? I feel like he would help the lineup. Just throwing out a potential idea
  2. 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
  3. I agree that that amount of value coming back is what it would take. If that offer is out there, you listen
  4. 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
  5. Agreed on both Varland and Canterino. I can't get there with Prielipp yet.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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
  10. Echoing some of the others here; I have a hard time having Rosario this high in the rankings.
  11. 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.
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. This is gross and disappointing. I just can’t see this happening
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. According to Bobby Nightengale, the Twins today outrighted Scott Blewitt, Randy Dobnak, Daniel Duarte, Yunior Severino and Josh Winder. They also picked up Jorge Alcala's option. The 40 man sits at 35.
  19. I have a hard time numbering the guys in the order that you did. I say that because I can’t see them trading away anyone who is coming off an injured or down year. They aren’t known at all to trade guys who aren’t at the height of their supposed value. Basically, I can’t see any of these top 5 being traded. All were coming off either injured or down years, have no trade clauses, or otherwise didn’t perform as well as 2023.
  20. ONLY came here to add that the Dodgers did make a prospect for prospect trade this past offseason, when they sent prospect Michael Busch and reliever Yency Almonte to the Cubs for prospects Jackson Ferris (he looked REALLY good this year) and Zyhir Hope. I wouldn't trade Jax for this kind of deal either. Agreed.
  21. Soler was already traded today to the Angels for Giffin Canning
