What's your special purpose?
-
That's not how CDP works!
-
Yeah the teams have been operating on a holiday schedule (more or less shut down) the past week or so, additionally there is not some huge ticking clock on a deal, things typically move slow between the Winter Meetings and the new year. Should start hearing more updates tomorrow or so. I do think the "negotiation fatigue" could start setting in if they don't come to an agreement these next 7 days or so.
-
Well he was included and remains included in the deal. The issue now and has remained the third player.

Moving Dozier Needs to Include Creativity

That is still the case, some of the other people around here just like to completely ignore this news that I brought them- 121 replies

Yeah I could see dozier staying if the Dodgers refuse to give up anything relevant for the third piece.

Chris Kluwe would probably make an off color joke if he were reading this

I will say this: Trump's inevitable downfall is going to be fascinating, amazing and so so satisfying.

Holy crap, that tweet. What a tw*t.

I'm so so so sorry.

Going to game 7 when I was like 6 years old. Game 163 Nick Punto Who have some of your favorite players been? Shane Mack Kevin Tappani Puckett (duh) Mauer Nick Punto How long have you been reading Twins Daily (or were you following some writers before Twins Daily)? Since the start? Read Nick's excellent blogs prior, and Brock's whiny facebook rants for years. What brings you back to Twins Daily? How often do you stop by the site? Pretty solid discussion. Anywhere from 0 times in 6 months to several times a day (depends on if I'm banned or not)

Or maybe people are just over-rating JDL and Alvarez by a significant margin and are not giving Dozier enough credit. The reality is: JDL doesn't have some huge upside, he is closer to a middle rotation potential guy then a top of rotation guy. Not bad, but not a centerpiece for a guy who can give you 6+ WAR on a team friendly contract each season for the next two years. People act like there is no way Dozier can do what he did last year, it wasn't luck driven, Home Runs aren't luck driven and he absolutely mashed in a ballpark that is either neutral or slightly pitcher friendly. Alvarez is a nice prospect, but he is far far far away from the majors and is far from a can't miss type guy, plenty of question marks and his 2016 did him no favors IMO. So basically you are looking at a couple top 40-75 prospects IMO, that's hardly a package that any team would be foolish to not take. Now if Urias or Bellingher were on the table, I would be with you, but they aren't. Thus the Dodgers #3 and #4 prospects are included.
-
The funny thing is, the minute the trade happens just like I have said, i'm sure "TwinsDaily" will be thrilled to be included in the national scoop
-
Well I guess we will see who is right. The Neal stuff is spin from the Twins most likely.
-
Yes, spoke with them via text late last night. Offer still on the table (DeLeon+Alvarez+AAAA type) not much has changed on that front. Twins still asking for better pieces for 3rd.
-
DeLeon and Alvarez are still on the table, however it's not crazy to see why the Twins would NOT include that piece in the spin job to Neal. Now when they ultimately accept DeLeon+Alvarez+AAAA type for Dozier they can make the claim that "The Dodgers blinked first" when in reality that deal was on the table the whole time and essentially it were the Twins who "blinked first" I get why the Twins are doing that, it's Falv and co. first big move, so it's important that they have a strong perception out of the gate.
-
Many would disagree I imagine..
-
More of a "gut" feel for me, they invested heavily in the WWE network model and it now appears to be starting to pay off for them IMO, also the product has gotten very very good and I think you are going to see a bit of a resurgence in the "fandom" as well. I think it's a solid buy low candidate with fairly limited risk.
-
Yeah the conservative/smart move would be to probably sell bitcoin at this stage, at least some, but I'm gonna let it ride I think. I'm also a fan of that fact you can now use bitcoin in more and more places anyways.
-
Brand split has been very good for the company, WWE network has been doing very well IMO and they are KILLING it on YouTube, which will only continue to grow the brand.
-
I am confident that Doogie is just spitballing on this. It's DeLeon and Alvarez.
-
Id eccomend buying WWE by EOY, I'm predicting they hit $28-$35 sometime in 2017 Also bitcoin over $950! Nice little 200% return over the past several months.
-
Twins would be morons for giving up Dozier for anything less then DeLeon and Alvarez, which is why that is the current offer.
-
IALTO!
