    I like the outside-the-box thinking here. I actually would be even more open to this idea IF he would be open to grabbing an outfielder's glove, and/or would be open to moving around to 2b and 3b as a utility type defender. IF he could handle LF/2B/3B, I think his bat COULD help for a 1 year deal. I'd imagine he would prefer to play SS for one year to hopefully get a new contract next offseason, so if that is the case I don't see him here.

    Draft picks can also be turned into assets to trade for known quantities. Example A; how the Twins acquired Sonny Gray initially. Just because the Twins chose to not pay (or overpay) for Gray's free agent years when he is 35-37 years old doesn't mean that the process for how they got him was bad. Having more assets to use to acquire known quantities is a good thing.

    I can’t like this post enough :)

    Most people would argue that HOW Gray was handled this year helped him get the free agent contract he did. This line of thinking, what you wrote, doesn't mesh well with reality for me. Do you really think the Cardinals are less analytical in their approach than the Twins are? Really? I mean, Twins starting pitchers were 4th in total innings pitched this past year, and Saint Louis was 14th. Do you think Gray is going to throw MORE innings in any of the next 3 seasons than he did in 2023 (184 innings.) If I were betting, I'd take that under for him. Wish him well on his contract though :)

    Whatever they do this offseason, hopefully it doesn't in any way include Mike Clevinger. Yuck. But yeah, my guess is they trade for a good starter, as well as bring in at least one if not multiple guys on minor league contracts for depth. They PROBABLY want to package Polanco and a prospect for someone, and maybe that's ok.
  6. Cory Engelhardt
    I agree with how you ordered this list. The first two you named SEEM like the easiest ones to move on from.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Hopefully for a lot more than 50 million in total. :)
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    I want Mahle too, but he won’t be anywhere close to ready until the 2nd half at earliest
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    I would trade Kepler for any of the starters you listed. I don’t know that I would automatically slot them in at #2, but all of them could have the potential to get there
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    Urquidy grades out really well with his stuff. I’d be all over bringing him in if he were to be available
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    Yes and no for what though? And are you truly arguing the only way to get a pitcher this offseason is to make a deal with only Seattle? I’m so confused. But it is hard to say absolutes for anything right now. I understand needing to give something to get something.
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I have the hardest time trading Lee. I guess see what’s on the table. As of today (and this may change) I would try and package something like Farmer, Emmanuel Rodriguez and something else for a good starter. But I don’t know what Seattle is looking for
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Curious if they want Polanco to be 2B and getting someone else for 3b? Or if they are pushing (if it is a Twins player) for someone like Farmer, or Lee? Interesting?
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    Glasnow would be incredible, and I like the idea of Ramirez as a platoon 1B. I don't know that Arozarena is attainable, but he is a superstar too. Fun to dream on.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    Just like they did with Jordan Montgomery?
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    2 years, he is team controlled via arbitration through 2025.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    The more I think on reading this, this feels like it has quite a few parallels to where Sonny Gray was prior to the Twins acquiring him. Just saying. I'd be open to the idea if his shoulder looks healthy.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    This sounds good to me :)
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    Yeah, Keller would be my personal dream get, and I don’t see them trading him either. I could be wrong. But there may be a match to find somehow
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't know if the Twins will trade Jorge Polanco or not. I love his bat in our lineup. That said, Pirates fans/websites certainly are in LOVE with Polanco right now. So don't tell them that they are going nowhere.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Question for you Seth; if you had an over/under of MLB starts for Lewis in 2024 at 1.5 starts, would you take the over or the under? He is a fascinating prospect, and (not counting for injuries) I think I would ALMOST be willing to wager the over on this. Even with a team that should be shooting for the playoffs. Tell me I'm crazy. My kids do all the time :)
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Hopefully he can get a shot with them. I do think there is a major league player in there.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    Seattle is an interesting team, as they have a good amount of starting pitching. They also have some other interesting pieces too, including some right handed bats (namely Ty France?) and some interesting looking bullpen options. That said, I'm not sure that the Twins will be open to trading Brooks Lee. I could be wrong. This offseason will be interesting. Thanks for laying this out.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t see any way that THIS team trades a major league starting pitcher. To that end, I wouldn’t even have López or Ryan on this list. If we are picking next guy at that point it’s Julien right?
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    How much in terms of prospects did you have to add to get Gilbert?
