    Pitching, as we all know, isn’t exactly a position of strength for our Minnesota Twins. The numbers definitely illustrate that. Team ERA: 4.06 (T-19th) Team WHIP: 1.25 (T-13th) Team Pitching HR/9: 1.26 (T-26th) Team ERA-: 109 (T-19th) The Twins, if they are to make the postseason and win a series when they get there, will need to make major improvements to the pitching staff. Carlos Rodon could be a start. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/07/nl-west-notes-ohtani-padres-walker-rodon-giants-bard.html Here is an excerpt from the above article: Chasing down the Dodgers for first place is probably out of the question, but San Francisco is still only 3.5 games out of the final wild card spot, and a +26 run differential argues that the Giants are at least a little better than their losing record indicates. That said, the Giants have several intriguing trade options, including Carlos Rodon (who can opt out of his deal after the season) as a rental piece. SKOR North’s Darren Wolfson speculates that the Twins would be one of many interested parties if the Giants did shop Rodon, as Minnesota “were right there” in trying to sign Rodon last winter. As Mark Polishuk says, the Giants are in contention for a wild card spot, but are 3.5 games out and have lost 7 straight games. If the Giants were to shop Rodon, Darren Wolfson of SKOR North thinks that the Twins would be a suitor, due to the fact that the Twins were a top contender for Rodon this past offseason. Rodon would absolutely make this Twins team better. Rodon would be a rental, as he has the option to opt out after the end of the season. Rodon would not be enough to fix all of the Twins issues, so if the Twins were to acquire Rodon, they would also need to acquire another starter and a couple of relievers. Do you think the Twins should call the Giants about Rodon? What kind of package would it take to acquire Rodon? Would it be worth it in the end?

    So frustrating
  3. cHawk
    They signed him cause he makes the team better

    The idea of trading Correa was deluded nonsense all along.
  5. cHawk
    That’s a great way to start the second half

    This past offseason, the Twins signed FA SS Carlos Correa to a 3-year/$105M deal, with player opt-outs after both the 2022 and 23 seasons. According to Phil Miller of the Star Tribune, the Twins have not initiated any conversation about an extension for Correa. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Correa was interested in signing a long term deal with the Twins back in April. It is decision time for the Twins. To trade Correa or not to trade Correa. If the Twins trade Correa, they could get a nice haul in return. If the Twins keep Correa, it could benefit them if they sign Correa to a long-term deal. However, they would also run the risk of losing Correa for nothing. Would you trade Correa? Why or why not? https://www.si.com/fannation/bringmethesports/.amp/twins/should-the-twins-trade-carlos-correa-or-risk-losing-him-for-nothing View full trade rumor

    Maybe, but nobody saw Boston beating Tampa Bay last year. Nobody saw Atlanta beating the Dodgers either.

    That would be the optimal result

    Bullpen help is a pressing need for our Minnesota Twins at this year’s trade deadline if they are to make it to the postseason and actually win when they get there. Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic lists off 10 pitchers that he believes could boost the Twins’ bullpen. https://theathletic.com/3389498/2022/06/30/twins-trade-deadline-relief-pitchers/?source=user_shared_article View full trade rumor

    The FO/organization will absolutely do something significant at the deadline. Guaranteed.

    Glad we pulled out the win. On to the White Sox. Let’s sweep those guys and roll into the break strong

    Buxton playing for $15M/year is a steal, more valuable for the success of the Twins than any of the things you listed.
  14. cHawk
    Now why would the Twins trade Buxton when he’s their best player?
  15. cHawk
    Goodbye Byron when they just signed him to a 7 year deal? The ****?
  16. cHawk
    I personally would go after Castillo. He’s a really good TOR starter and I think, like Sonny Gray, he would improve when pitching in Minnesota.
  17. cHawk
    If you want to win a World Series, you keep Correa no matter what the price is. It’s not often that a mid-market team like the Twins has the opportunity to sign a player of Correa’s caliber who is also a former World Champion.

    No this is correct
  20. cHawk
    They scored 5 runs on Tuesday and 10 on Thursday…”continuing to be terrible” is inaccurate.
  21. cHawk
    Are you just trolling? You can’t wait to see our favorite baseball team lose?
  22. cHawk
    I feel like they could get something done with Correa. He’ll want a lot of years and a lot of money. It would be a risk, but sometimes you need to take risks. That being said I don’t see the Twins giving him a contract for more than 4-5 years, because the Twins seem to be averse typically to such deals. (The Buxton extension was 7 years, but that contract is very incentive-based) I would love to be proven wrong and see the Twins do it.
