Why would they have to go through his agent when they talked to him. Buxton has said numerous times he doesn’t want to be traded Are you calling him a liar?

There might be a useful stat for relief pitchers. That would be WPA or WPA/LI. It might be the only time they might be useful enough to overcome their flaws. But it would only be for late inning relief pitchers on good teams. The poor guy who closes or sets up on a bad team would never get a counting stat.

Toronto and the Twins have been frequent trade partners. If the Twins had anything Toronto wanted that they were willing to give up a deal would have been made. Bateman can play CF, has been a good contact hitter. The Jays have called him up. The Twins didn’t have someone one similar that they would give up.

The Twins were unlikely to include Jenkins, Quick, either of their top SS or catcher prospects in proposed trades. The rest of the controllable players and prospects would be up for grabs. 4 of them were not going to equal Neto

Position players was the discussion. Bell is at league average as a batter. That would neither be awful or good. That same description could be used for Caratini since he is hitting near average for a catcher. Gray is a minor signing brought back up because of injuries. He really would not.have been brought back up without the failed development of a young shortstop. So if you wish to say awful vets when talking about position players, please feel free to define awful. Kreidler did not have even a year’s worth of service time. If you are complaining they used awful veteran pitchers, look at the success rate of the minor league pitchers. When called up.

Always myopic people who can’t see the bigger picture

Where is he rated as a top 50 prospect?
-
Lombard was called up. The Twins situation and the Yankee bear little resemblance t each other. Max Clark for Detroit. There have been call up of minor league players on 40 man rosters, but not ones added others than the 2 mentioned.. that is the distinction Ed you missed
-
The notion that the 5th ranked prospect in the system is underrated is an odd one. Given that these rankings are not an up to the minute thing the question probably should be how much higher will he go.

Would you be happy with a .727 OPS in a hitter friendly league.?

Did the Orioles ever really rebuild from the Jim Palmer era

The Shape of a Trade Deadline
old nurse replied to Cody Schoenmann's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Then there is the true life story where the star pitcher that is traded for nothing leads his team to a championship, or the nothing payer becomes an All Star closer or starter. The story does not occur very often, but enough to give teams and fans hope -
The nothing to get comment pretty much describes any of the deadline trades so far
-
The head f an operation does have to project confidence in their decision making. There using of smartest guy in the room as a cutting comment is nothing but an emotional argument. The judging of what baseball players can be is mostly a crapshoot. The misses on the multitude of prospect analysis sites is large. The finding of diamonds in the trades is a rare occurance.

Alas Mathews continues to have too many games of ‘He pitched great except for “

Trading for Minter does noy show that they will spend crazy money on a player having a season that is below their pay grade.
-
Yup, spending over 200 million guarantees a winner., just look at Toronto and the Mets this year. If the Giants had spent 17 million more the still would be the second worst team in baseballl

I dunno, The mlb pipeline has Bruin listed as the Met’s 22 best prospect. The trade is surely a win for the Mets.

League average ERA which is about the best he has ever had as a starter, yet there has been a lot of hype like he is one of the best pitchers out there. If the GM can get some team t drastically overpay, why not trade? The Angels still won’t be any good next year so there really isn’t any point in keeping him
-
The point was they got one decent prospect for Helsley. I didn’t say anything about Weaver because the Twins don’t take on 11 million dollar relievers, they trade them
-
Realistically Prieller hasn’t gone for prospects so some sort of deal with Prielipp, Morris, Keaschall, Bradley being involved. Being that they both make 4 million, they might have to take Larnach
-
The number 8 prospect for the Mets became the 18th best for the Cardinals. The other 2 were not ranked in the top 30 the Rockies trading Goodman was the GM fishing for compliments about his player. There is n fire there unless it is a blow out 2 top 50 prospects plus kind of trade

Looking back over the last 10 years, in the deadline rental trades the Yankees haven’t given up much more than a replacement level payer. Even in the non rental players it is rare for them to give up much.

How the Red Sox Changed Everything for the Twins
old nurse replied to Matthew Taylor's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Only has to play as well as the 2nd best team in the league, and not have any other team also get hot. Considering the amount of interleague play, they would have to be the 8th best team in baseball -
From an article last year that quoted the athletic writer Jhostynxon Garcia, also known as “The Password,” was part of the deal Boston put together, but the overall package, according to McCaffrey, "was not substantial enough to land Ryan."
