    Hader had a bad month. Maybe they think it is the downturn time
  2. old nurse
    There was likely no gain for a tanking team. At best the get organization depth as a return.

    The prospects are in A and A= ball with a pedigree of draft ranking to influence rating. If you consider the throw in that is doing poorly in AA did fine in A and A+, there is the cautionary tale of low level minor league players. 2 low level prospects with high ceiling performing well, one a potential error prone shortstop.. That is the criteria that is not the major league players listed above, That is not Spencer Steer..

    Trade for injured pitchers. The team has enough injured pitchers

    Shoot a lot of the capital for Ryan or Gray to get the team a win ib the playoffs

    The Cubs got a 19 year old kid who is now a top 30 prospect playing in A+ ball for Baez and a below average relief pitcher. Correa could net a very good prospect and relieve the Twins of a middling ,middle reliever

    The bad trade threads start in about 2 weeks. If they trade for a reliever they will start 15 seconds after the first blown lead. The “we could have had that player” usually will start within minutes of the trade announcement

    Gioloto and Lynn have had bag years, but the last couple were good. It would appear that writers forget the bad years and expect them to return to last year’s form. The other thought would be payment by clicks

    People have short memories. Next up is a story about trading for Montas
  10. old nurse
    Add a top starter, a decent reliever, players come back from injury at where they were, and players playing at their peak they would be a contender. That is pretty much the same if as all of the rest of the teams
  11. old nurse
    Considering what Oakland took back in the trades for Bassit and Manaea it is almost pointless to speculate what they would want for Montas. Pick a name off from the each of the Fort Meyers teams and one from Cedar Rapids that are performing well and that could be the trade.

    Yes there are fewer bad teams. Worse yet is the reason they are bad, They have very few good pitchers. Fewer yet on expiring contracts. The usual suspects in the last few years that got moved seem to be retired, the market is going to be bare. There will most likely be a player added, just don’t expect to be wowed

    Pagan and Rogers each have 5 blown saves. Rogers has appeared in 5 more games. There really would be no difference between the two in outcomes of games, They have each had their share of meltdowns

    There are plenty of people who need to look at trade history. Back pf bullpen rental help only requires a couple of bodies that bolster a farm system. A rental closer requires more. Control beyond at his year costs more. The Twins and every other team gave the assets to buy rental back of bullpen help. Starting pitching help might be more difficult . They have prospects doing well enough to be trade bait for a starter but they don’t have a pedigree of draft position or beauty contest rankings.

    Gallon was traded for a shortstop of the future. That would be the equivalent of Lewis. Stroman was traded for a recent first round and second round pitcher. The Twins didn’t have that. At the time their 2 best pitching prospects were Balazovic and Graterol Bauer was a personality mess then. Tanner Roark had less than a league average ERA. Better than Gibson, but not really going to change the outcome of the playoffs

    Diaz was 41 on fangraphs pre season ranking

    Nice, an article behind a paywall.
  18. old nurse
    First off trade values include subjective grades on an imperfect science/ It does not legitimize anything Trade for Montas only makes sense if the pitchers are all future relievers. That is a pessimistic view on things Maybe the prospect sites don’t like Steer. Unbanked and in AAA. Low trade value Trade value people have a value for Bednar, so does the Pirates. Guess which one is more accurate for assessing if a trade is accurate By history of trades for relievers like Bard Cruz and a lottery ticket would be enough
  19. old nurse
    More 21 year olds, oh no.
  20. old nurse
    It depends on where he starts out. They could start him in A ball, He can play with another 21 year old Cavacao

    The purpose behind pro sports is to make money. Leagues fold when they don’t make money. That is what pro sports have become. To make money you have to entertain. It is easier to entertain when the team wins. If it were solely about winning there wouldn’t be a need for all of the stadiums serving fancy food and drink

    It wasn’t your place to divulge anything.

    Minyana was ourighterd last week

    You can say that. It is popular to say stuff like that. You really don’t know what the injury is. You really don’t appear to know what the treatment is. From the information available he has what used to be called a sports hernia. Without any bulging. The first line of treatment is nsaids and rest. You don’t go in unless you have to.

    Wrs Johnson was not likely the source for the slider preference. That came from the analytics department. The front office’s MO on relief help is find the cheap and hope for the best. It is a matter of shuffling the prospects. The cost for those relievers is not the Wallner and Celestinos, Contreras is the high end. The low minor leaguers that are doing well but not being promoted could all be used
