    Joey Gallo has a new home :) https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/01/nationals-joey-gallo-agree-to-one-year-deal.html

    I know the Twins have a lot of good young position players, and their pitching staff is very good as is. I think most people could agree with that sentiment. I don't know that I can say the offseason was anything but a failure if they do nothing though. This team is truly good enough to compete, especially with more help brought in. To not go for it, so to speak, would be a failure. I don't know exactly what they add, but not doing anything to assist this roster is the wrong answer.

    I'm leaning towards the plan right now is for 2024 specifically. I wouldn't at all be shocked to see the push be for a pitcher who maybe is a free agent after 2024, or possibly 2025. At least compared to ones that have more team control.

    Here are some trades the twins have made over the past 3 years based on baseballtradevalues rankings... 1) Fairly even, really. It's a move I do every day of the year. 2) Big win for the Twins numbers wise at the time. This one was barely accepted by their model. 3) Cash did not go back, to Miami for Arraez. That was only added to have the model accept the trade. 4) Another one where cash had to be added to make their model accept the deal. 5) At the time, fairly even. There are others. The Gio trade to the Angels, for example, was virtually even. All of this is to just say, the website is fun, and they have their model, but it's not at all what front offices use to value their own players.

    Sign me up. He would be a great addition to the middle of the order. They haven't really had a power bat like that since Nelson left, so just having a #4 type hitter in the lineup would be really great. Watch, they sign Hoskins and trade for a pitcher in the next couple of weeks, and then all the teeth ghashing will die down, at least for a spell.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I’ll take that bet.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t see the twins trading Lewis.

    It does feel like a coded message tbh at is meant to be heard by a team or teams they are talking with. my guess, multiple moves do happen between now and March 1
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    Make it happen!

    I've never seen the word transmogrify before this article. I absolutely learned something today. Thank you. Ober, when healthy, is very good. This does give hope for the upcoming season :)
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    My hope/expectation is for him to get through the 2024 season healthy. His stuff does look electric. Thanks!

    I have been called that before. One time in high school I had a friend ask me what ice cream cones are made out of, and I didn't know off the top of my head, so I said "cone material." It wasn't my greatest moment, and Captain Obvious made sense there too :)
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, if his 2021 and 2022 seasons weren't just complete disasters, for whatever reason, he would have probably signed a big deal by now this offseason right?
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Agreed, I do hope the Twins pivot to a move like this if the trade market isn't where they can find a move. They have to go for it in this window somehow. The payroll, for many reasons, doesn't matter as much. But not adding talent to go for it right now in some form or fashion is not acceptable.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    He is only 28, which is good. And really, if he hadn't had those terrible seasons before last year, he would be getting a LOT more money. I'm not saying I think the Twins can get him. But I can absolutely understand the reasoning for spending free agent money on him compared to someone like Snell (for example.) I LOVE Snell, but that walk rate is hard to ignore.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    They do have 38 players on the 40 man, and that's before potentially trading any of their veterans that have been rumored. There will be more additions, guaranteed. I just don't what kind of additions :)
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    If they were to get Bellinger, I'd have to imagine the relationship with Boras was helped by a number of things, including the Correa deal and even keeping Gallo on the roster as long as they did. He is an obvious positional fit, and I do agree that spending payroll money on position players (while trading for pitching) makes sense. I'm not certain it will happen, but put me in the camp that this would be a fantastic move. Even if he doesn't do what he did last season again, he would still be a great addition to our lineup.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    It’s hard to get worked up now when the offseason is nowhere close to over though right?
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    My order of preference in terms of the deals would be... 1) Jeremy's deal 2) Jamie's deal 3) Theo's deal Luzardo and Meyer coming back would be electric. I'm not sure Seattle would trade Gilbert, and I'm not really too enamored with Theo's deal and how that would help in the 2024 season. Fun talker!
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Just off and on with kids and work and stuff. Hopefully they make a move asap :)

    Real butter is always a good thing on popcorn. :)
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I certainly hope not. :) I guess I would leave him in the role he is, but if this IS an option, he certainly has the arm talent to be good as a starter too right?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    I just am waiting here, with popcorn, to watch the comments :)
