    A good starting pitcher that they acquire this offseason.
  2. Cory Engelhardt
    I would LOVE Woo. I think he has everything a great pitcher would need, and tons of control. I'd throw out Polanco with Wallner. That gives Seattle two bats at positions of need, and Wallner especially could equal the service time that Woo has for Seattle. It might be tough for Seattle to lose Woo, and it might be tough for us to lose Wallner, but a deal like this would make it more possible for the Twins to keep Kepler around for 2024. Thoughts?

    I still LOVE the chance this front office took to bring in Mahle. I'd really love it if they resigned him too. Just because he got hurt and didn't perform doesn't mean the process for acquiring him was bad. I'd do that trade again 100 out of 100 times.

    I don't know that I'm in an enormous rush for any of them to be honest. But if we are naming players for this, Walker Jenkins would be up there for me, along with Brooks Lee. This could change depending on what else happens this offseason. But so many of the players have many multiple years of team control left.

    All of those pitchers will throw innings in the majors this year. Pitching staffs, even good ones, routinely go through a LOT of guys. Last year the Twins had a relatively healthy pitching season (generally) and they still had 29 different pitchers throw at least 1 inning for them. I'd imagine that number will be similar in 2024.

    I like the creative thought. I don't personally see the push to trade a lot of assets for a reliever in the offseason, but I do agree they will have to be creative in how they augment their roster.

    I do think Varland can be higher leverage than Pagan was in that role in 2023. I’m very excited for his role in 2024 and what that looks like. He will be electric out of the bullpen. That’s very exciting
  8. Cory Engelhardt
    I have a question; what do people think their primary starting pitcher acquisition will look like? A) Someone more established, with less years of control or B) Someone less established, with more years of control? I kind of lean A, but I’m curious how this offseason will play out
  9. Cory Engelhardt
    They need a lot of offense in Miami. A LOT. I wouldn’t say at all that the only position of need there is catcher
  10. Cory Engelhardt
    This was awesome! Great story and thank you for sharing it
  11. Cory Engelhardt
    I really like his fit there too
  12. Cory Engelhardt
    I can absolutely see him on the opening day roster. Frankly, if both are healthy, I have him in over Gordon. I also could very well see a scenario that he gets a lot of playing time this year, and that being a good thing.
  13. Cory Engelhardt
    Because I believe he is not a #3 starter, and I believe he is a weapon out of the pen :)

    Love the show! For me, yesterday when I was out, I was listening to it in the podcast format (not YouTube.) The show was cut short, and ended at around the 20 minute mark. Just wanted to pass that along.
  15. Cory Engelhardt
    I don’t think Miami would want Winder at all. I’d imagine it would be Polanco and then another actual prospect.
  16. Cory Engelhardt
    I think it’s Louie Varland.
  17. Cory Engelhardt
    Here is a random thought I had that has no actual rumor attached or basis in anything I’ve read. How much would the twins have to give, with Polanco, to get Max Meyer from Miami? He should be healthy from Tommy John this year, and his fastball/slider combo is special. Maybe a new regime in Miami would be open to considering it? He wasn’t this gm’s draft pick after all. I don’t think it would work as a 1 for 1, but man would his arm talent be fun to have. Being from Minnesota doesn’t hurt either
  18. Cory Engelhardt
    I think Adames has a LOT more value than Polanco, for what it's worth. But Polanco still has value.
  19. Cory Engelhardt
    It really does depend on the return in my opinion. It certainly won't at all be a salary dump, and I have to think someone will be coming back that will show it isn't just a completely sell-off. I'm curious if they do pair Polanco with a prospect, or if something comes back JUST for Polanco. Again, this offseason will be fascinating. :)
  20. Cory Engelhardt
    It's certainly not a perfect fit salary wise. But he is a full year removed from tommy john, and SHOULD be plenty motivated to reach free agency in 10ish months. The Twins would have to trade capital that would amount to equal what they think he would produce for them in 2024, along with knowing that they would get a pick once he leaves after receiving the QO next offseason (assuming that.) It's not substantial if you are comparing it to an arm with his kind of talent who has 3 years team control remaining, but it still would cost a bit. I'd be in favor of Glasnow being a Twin in 2024.
  21. Cory Engelhardt
    Carlos Baerga on instagram is reporting that Ohtani to the Blue Jays is done. I don't know if that is enough of a report, but it might be close. And it sure would be cool to see him in Toronto
  22. Cory Engelhardt
    Matthew, I know you say the Twins PROBABLY aren't in on any of those 4 names (I don't at all see Bieber or Cease, mostly for in-division trades of that level just aren't common) but if you had to guess, what type of names could you see them in on? Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the past decade as well. Your writing is very much appreciated. Have a great day!
  23. Cory Engelhardt
    I think this also shows that they need at least one starter, if not another 1 or 2 to start at St. Paul. BUT To me there is a LOT of potential for some of these guys to really be entrenched in the rotation by sometime early 2025. That's exciting :)
  24. Cory Engelhardt
    I do wish someone could help me understand; India is not as good a player as Polanco, so I have a hard time understanding the draw for a team who needs a 2b. If the choices are Polanco and India, the decision (to me) is an easy one, and it's Polanco. But yes, the front office will need to be creative in terms of how they acquire players this offseason.
  25. Cory Engelhardt
    It's exciting how Wichita will look this season, and there are a ton of guys that should fit this category. Good times in the organization. I'll add Pierson Ohl here too, but for THIS list, Festa and Cory Lewis are who I would bet on (not that I'm not betting on others.)
