Of course it does, just like it played into Johan's trade value. I'd say the Dodgers extension is prob 50/50 though if they snag him, they would like to, just may not be the smartest time with him coming off a monster year. (A lot of this is just my opinion) -
Thread update: SIXTY NINE thousand views. It's now making it's way into being the most viewed thread of all time for any board at TwinsDaily. Which happens to be election 2016. MAKE TD GREAT AGAIN!
-
I know you were joking, but others weren't. All good.
-
I get the sense that the Dodgers would look to try to extend him another 2-3 years.
-
Sadly the Twins IMO don't have a whole lot to add in: Dodgers have no reason to go after Santana Kintzler is good, but not enough. Plus I think the Twins should hold onto him anyways. And every other worthwhile prospect is worth hanging onto IMO. If I were running the team I would offer to include Rosario, and in return take back Lux+Puig.
-
I think it depends on what level Dozier plays at moving forward, even if he takes a 15-20% step back from 2016, he is still a 5 WAR player or close to it. If he continues to improve you are looking at 6.5-7.0 WAR player who is an MVP candidate, if that is the case I think Del+A+Stewart is actually a steal for the Dodgers. IF he reverts to a 3.5 WAR-4.5 WAR player I think it's a pretty "Fair" deal.
-
Twins have no desire in a guy like Puig. And I haven't heard anything about any other veterans or contracts, I'm guessing they absolutely do NOT want to bring back a bad contract.
-
I think the Twins would be to. The Dodgers, not so much!
-
Reading between the lines IMO I think the Twins know that the Dodgers absolutely need Dozier at this stage, the Dodgers have the best SP on the planet and a pretty sick top of the rotation as well with Urias stepping up, they are definitely in "win now" mode. So IMO the Twins can hold out a little longer for a better package, also this being the first trade in the new ear, I can see the new Twins brass wanting to show that they are not to be pushed around when it comes to trade talks. That's all MY opinion though and just something I have come to think during this time.
-
Said screw it and rang up my source, I will paraphrase what they said: -They are still very close, the main pieces of the trade are agreed upon at this stage: DeLeon+ Alaverez (There is still a shot at bellinger but it appears both sides have agreed with D+A as the first two) -The hold up is in their opinion "The Twins are asking for too much for the 3rd and potential 4th pieces" Sounds like Lux is continually brought up, but the Dodgers refuse to include in him in a package already featuring DeLeon+Alaverez, the Dodgers are still pushing back with guys who may not "burn" them as much in the future, they feel that D+A is a more than fair offer. -There has been some conjecture about the Yankees or Mets making a last ditch effort, but my source would be very shocked if either come up with anything realistic. -Twins and Dodgers are keeping lines of communications open and it's an ongoing discussion, they both checked in a few times today with each side. -The talk about Turner resigning doesn't effect the willingness to pull the trigger on the Dodgers side the source believes, this is also believable since he/she says the Dodgers are the ones who have put the offers on the table, it's up to the Twins to accept. -Both teams would like to get this wrapped up sooner rather than later. Still could see news in the next few hours.

False.

I know one person on this board in particular that has no qualms about posting quality scoops even if the Twins brass would prefer it not to be posted....
-
DPJ was awesome, back when he was on facebook he kept the bit going in real life as well. He was our version of Drew Magary.

Couple hours, I don't want to bug her/him to much.

Oh man, the Common Man is freaking fantastic and is sorely needed in a Minnesota media landscape who has far far far far far to many who will refuse to ever go after any of the Minnesota ownership groups (Wilfs and Pohlads are all terrible)
-
This thread is getting way to far off topic, if you want to discuss the Kardashians please take it to the sports bar forum.
-
Not unless your cube mate is Statfreak
-
I can confirm that Urias is certainly not on the table nor has been at any stage.
-
Russo is the best beat writer in all of sports media, it's unfair to compare Lavelle to him. Lavelle is fine, I don't have twitter, but if I did I would probably give him a fellow, Bern is cool as well. The common man is amazing as well, the rest of the Minnesota sports media scene is pretty "meh" I mean somehow even I scooped them on the biggest Twins trade in the last 5+ years.

That's a quality shop
-
I didn't hear it, just got a message from someone who said they did.
-
I guess it's fun to root for people to be wrong? Especially when people share it with a specific group of people instead of a wider audience? I geuss next time I will just pass the rumor along to my boy Tim over at MLBTradeRumors or ESPN
-
I'm not on twitter, twitter is garbage and can't be trusted anyways, too many fake accounts and people posting/deleting rumors etc when they are proven wrong. Like I have said from the beginning, I stand by my source! It's going to happen!

Hi Reddit! https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/5ha5hm/this_guy_in_a_twins_forum_is_claiming_that_theres/

You give me way to much credit. It's been a pretty busy day work wise for me, I wouldn't have the first inclination to call into an LA show anyways, besides it's a real source, I'm guessing someone else got wind of it as well.
