I said before I would be "Ok" with one trade, but if Suzuki isn't traded today it is a major failure by the front office. The guy is an impending FA, there is ZERO reason not to trade him for anything.
Yeah Cashman has done a helluva job not only convincing his bosses they needed to do the un Yankee like "rebuild" but brought back 4 or 5 top 50 top prospects!
Wow, Yankees just traded Beltran for Tate+more. Once A-Rod and a couple of those contracts are off the books the Yankees are setting up for another dynasty like run.
Twitter is so lame, a bunch of people fire off fake reports/sources in hopes of being "the first" (which really doesn't mean much) Fake and false reports like we have seen today just prove it.
29th round pick, fireballer out of high school. The majority of those type of draft picks don't sign and end up in college anyways. Clearly it was the right move for Light.
That doesn't mean you have to trade him for nothing. Light has intrigue, but the Twins track record with hard throwing guys with control issues is TERRIBLE.
If Anthony is that fearful of the Pohlads and isn't confident enough to explain his reasoning behind his moves then he shouldn't be a GM to begin with. I think you are reading way too much into all of that. The Pohlads want the stands filled and want to make money, very little else matters to the. If Puig reaches his potential he helps the team win and brings fans to the seats.
I would be all about it, I'm just not sure Abad could be enough to bring him back. You never know though, I was surprised how much we got back for Nunez for instance.
He is on pace for 40 HR this year, there is no reason why he still can't be just as good as he is today for the next 2-3 years. His power can last until he is 36.
I want the Twins to spend capital to bring in potential elite players. Nobody knows exactly what it would take to get Puig, many assume that it wouldn't take a top tier package to get him at this point. If you can provide the Dodgers some short term help for 2016 then they may be willing to listen.
Did I ever say Grossman for Puig? I said Suzuki+Grossman+a mid twenties prospect (or Abad/Kintzler etc) for Puig. The Dodgers are pretty much fed up with Puig and are trying to win NOW, I think Puig could be had for not a whole lot since the Dodgers just want to move on at this stage.
I'd be upset if the Twins don't make any real moves today. I would be OK if they make one move. I would be happy/a little shocked if they make 2 or more trades today.
