    Did Stu set you up for this guy from Chaska?

    It's all about results. If they don't win the division I'd say no. If they win a series in the playoffs, then 100%. If they win the division and get swept, it's up for debate.
  3. Cory Engelhardt
    Always love a Teddy Roosevelt anecdote. :)
  4. Cory Engelhardt
    IF they do all of these, as you mentioned. And IF the return for Gray is strong; then I do think it would be a positive trade deadline. Could be exciting, right?

    I'm just over here having some popcorn and waiting. Should be a fun weekend :)

    I would be a fan, as it would be just for this season, and who knows where Royce will play next year ongoing. I'd be MORE than fine with having Lewis in the outfield the rest of this year (or as a super utility) if he can stay healthy, and next year as an outfielder once Lee is ready. He is clearly a good defender and is hitting well. He would help the team.
  7. Cory Engelhardt
    Perfect would include Ohtani :) But yeah, this sounds really good too :)
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    Yes, make it happen. These guys have some skills that other teams would want, and in a lot of ways the roster should be better balanced. And that's both for this year and for next year ongoing.
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    I don't see it happening. He is coming off injury, and you would absolutely be selling him at a low point. I don't see that happening. This offseason, sure. Not in the next week or so. Hopefully he can get healthy and have a strong rest of the season/playoffs. Then it's REALLY interesting this offseason.
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    I was just trying to say the two options you mentioned are both unlikely :) NW MN is great, no doubt.
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    If you think the Twins lose the next 9 games, while the rest of the central doesn't lose between now and August 1, so they are what, 5 games back (in this hypothetical) AND they then trade Ryan, well, I don't know what to say. Do you also want to purchase some oceanfront property in southern MN?
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    2 things that won't happen.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Not attacking the writer; trying to understand the premise or logic of it though. Are you able to think of a realistic overpay that would actually be accepted? I'm of the belief that there isn't one out there that 1) Another team would offer, 2) The Twins wouldn't hang up the phone over, and 3) Would actually benefit the team for 2023-2027. I'd also say that Chris Paddack is most likely in the rotation in 2024. I also think a QO for Maeda or Gray will be on the table, and it's POSSIBLE one accepts. Otherwise, the rest of free agency/offseason can be used to add to the team.
  14. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, that would be accepted by baseball trade values dot com, but it just isn't realistic for right now today. And BECAUSE it's accepted by that site, I'd argue it's not a massive overpay. It doesn't help the team in 2023, and I'd argue losing a pitcher of Ryan's caliber hurts the team MORE for 2024-2027 than whatever prospect capital would bring back.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    What does a massive overpay look like that you would even consider? I can't think of one.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, the beyond obvious answer is no here. It's not happening and it won't happen. What would even a fair deal look like? A near all-star level pitcher with 4+ years team control, who the team markets as a core player and is generally well loved by the fanbase? I have no idea how to wrap my head around that. In 2025, if the Twins are way out of it prior to the deadline, and Joe only has 2+ years of team control left, then this conversation could possibly get started. For now, with the team in 1st place in the division and on a path to make the playoffs, this kind of trade just doesn't happen. Thank goodness for that.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    I hope they don't make deals, or don't make deals, based on message board commentary.
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    ONLY responding to the Twins payroll limit; I don't see any reason they couldn't add payroll for the rest of this season. That wouldn't be a deterrent here. I don't know that I see THIS trade going through, but payroll shouldn't be an issue just for the 2023 season. And with all the payroll coming off of the books after the year (fyi, there is a LOT) Goldschmidt's contract wouldn't be an issue. But yeah, the trade as listed probably isn't happening. Fun to dream though.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, I love Kirilloff. But I would RUN to make this deal if possible.
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    They don't have to fill next year's holes before August 1. They have an offseason to figure out moves otherwise. And really, who's to say Royce Lewis isn't the right handed hitting outfielder next year right? As far as pitching, there is hope of Paddack coming back. Maeda and Gray can be given the QO (the way Maeda looked last night, why not?) and otherwise, there is decent depth that is already at AA, so they can plan around that. I want this deadline to help the 2023 team first and foremost. If they do add a player or players controlled in 2024, that's icing on the cake.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Things have a way of working themselves out. But yes, Julien will stay up. There is no other answer
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    I mean, Goldschmidt would be incredible. But I don't know that they would trade him or that he would even waive his no trade. Jordan Hicks would be fun in the bullpen. Tommy Edman could be a 3b option, at least until Lewis can play. I wouldn't mind that either.
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    The Phillies made the world series last year off an 87 win regular season. Heck, the Twins won the world series in 1987 off of 85 wins, a -20 run differential, and would have been 5th in the AL east that season (good thing they were in the West.) You get into the playoffs, and you have good pitching, you have a chance. No reason to scoff otherwise. It's been true forever.
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I'd be all for this if it were just a video game we were playing. But I can't imagine the value you would get back would help this season or next more than what Gray would help with the team in August/September/Playoffs as well as how he contributes (coaches really) in the clubhouse. You want to completely lose your clubhouse and all the good work you have done on the pitching side, be my guest. I'll prefer to try to win with the pitching rotation we have assembled here.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    Actually, good point about the 87 team. They had -20 run differential for the year, and they only added Don Baylor at the deadline. He was good, but not Goldschmidt good. Maybe the same thing can happen again :)
