  1. I'm surprised you didn't mention Austin Martin. Otherwise it's a good list.
  2. Jenkins also stole 2nd and 3rd after his single. Thought that was cool.
  3. I never heard him saying that at all.
  4. What if, and hear me out, Royce Lewis is a right handed hitting outfielder next year? Also, to just add to the point of this thread; I am very happy Kepler is playing so well lately. It's fun to see.
  5. Imagine saying no to this. Ugh. Yes, the contract was worth it and I am glad we all got to watch Mauer stay a Twin for his career.
  6. 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.
  7. 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?
  8. I'm just over here having some popcorn and waiting. Should be a fun weekend :)
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I was just trying to say the two options you mentioned are both unlikely :) NW MN is great, no doubt.
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. What does a massive overpay look like that you would even consider? I can't think of one.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
