    Don't know, don't care. You asked what teams that were contenders would have had pitching to trade that could have used a corner outfilder. I named 2.

    Cleveland was shopping pitchers all ff season. They moved Bauer. Mets would have moved pitching if the price was right. Any team will make a move if they think they are coming out ahead. The key part of that is that the fan might not think that.
  3. old nurse
    Because the team thinks they can be a contender if only. Mets making trades,

    A stellar half year does not make a long term contract unless that time frame is you won your team a World Series.

    Boras wanted a 5 year contract. That is what hamstrung Keuchel. Boras lost a game of chicken and Keuchel paid the price.

    Ian Miller. Your answer to why they did not add Hamilton.
  7. old nurse
    He hit .360 and was promoted. It is almost time for their seasons to end

    The Braves outside of Acuna by DRS can use a defensive replacement. That would be a team in need of defensive replacement. When you have adequate defenders there is no need for defensive replacements.
  9. old nurse
    You can't name one that has.

    You can think anyway you want. It is like a Gardenhre "gut" move.

    A late inning defensive replacement, pinch runner is a luxury no team is carrying.

    No hit batters by the Yankees after they were down by 10 and giving up more runs.

    With the teams all having a lot of games with weak teams it could well take 100 wins to make the playoffs even as a wild card team. Contrast that with the NL with a little more mediocrity could have 4 teams in with less than 90 wins.

    Comp by ERA, not style of pitching for Enns. Pino by age was in lower levels. Right handed sinker/slider combo that produces ground balls. Unfortunately line drives at the major league level for his one appearance
  15. old nurse
    14 games. 11 games no runs That would be a better success rate than May of Duffey.

    Dobnak's highest ERA for a season is 3.14. Your comps do not compare to that.
  17. old nurse
    Enns, Albers and Dean were all soft tossing lefties. Dobnak has better numbers at the same age than Pino and Johnson. They both basically got a shot with the Twins for a lack of options at the time. for an effective 4-5 starter . With Nolasco and Correa hovering around 5 or more ERA, you could even say 3 starter.

    From https://www.skornorth.com/twins-2/2019/07/two-years-after-going-undrafted-twins-prospect-randy-dobnak-may-be-nearing-big-league-callup/ he has a 92-93 MPH 1 seam sinker that is 92-93 but not a high spin rate. He can touch 96. The question becomes how much movement does he get on it. If he gets good movement he will be effective as a ground ball pitcher. If not, well, the cup of coffee tasted great. If the coaching can add a couple miles to the pitch, he becomes an effective pitcher.

    Parker is like Belisle. He is a good pitcher except when he is not. Parker had 5 games of multiple runs. 6 multi hit games where he gave up one run or less. Given time, it will happen iin Phily.
  20. old nurse
    The Reds gave up a former all star, a top prospect, and more to get Bauer. That is a lot. To give up more would be crazy. Kennedy is above average in relief. Not elite as he is paid to be. Good arms from Miami. The Twins have good arms. I suppose the could have traded good arms for good arms but in the end you do not improve the team. The only thing it does is create new people for fans to complain about.

    Ottovino, Britton, Holland and Romo are about the only free agent pitchers that have performed better.. It was not a good year for free agent relievers

    Trades are weird when they involve prospects.What is comperable value in Toronto's mind? The view on prospects is different enough from evaluation group to another the further down from the top you get. Would you give up the 3 and 6 from the TD poll of prospects for Stroman (Graterol and Balazovic)? So the choice becomes one of many choices. It could be there is something the Blue Jays see in these prospects that others are not. Equally possible is that Ross Atkins get the "Bill Smith Bad Trade" traveling trophy from Neak Hunnington. The answer will not be known for years. There is this to consider. If Van Wagenen can get somebody to pay more for Stroman, he is ahead. If he gets someone to pay way more for Thor, he is ahead. If he can now get something of value for Wheeler, he may be ahead.

    The wuz wrong so it really did not matter if there was a #twins

    The Mets must not think Kay is going to be much of a starter. You would not trade 6 years of a mid rotation starter for one full year of a front line starter. A high ceiling with a long shot of being a star. The other pitcher is in the low minors, also a high ceiling with a remote chance to get there. So the answer to your question is the Twins do not have to high ceiling pitching prospects that another team believes is but the Twins do not.
