There have been many players that have played better once they left New York.

The meaningless of a ranking, and the reluctance to trade a player for the ranking is the point. The rarity of a 50-100 ranking player being a useful player is the point. If a team other than San Diego trades one, the assessment has been made that the ranked player is not going to develop for various reasons. You can find them in trades that become good players, but those trades that involve all star players coming back. It also means the trading team likely made a mistake in their judgement

In terms of HR, yes Steer was more productive, in overall play, not a difference

They do trade prospects lower than 50. Perhaps you ought to use your computer to look at past trades

A lot of other teams have traded their bottom 59 type prospects . I guess that makes them silly.

If the team thinks that being a top 50 prospect is their peak then they should be traded. If the player has fallen a lot in the rankings, by all means they shouud be traded if you can get a good return

If a prospect is traded away it is most likely the Twins do not think the player will rise to the useful player status. Spencer Steer is probably the best player they have ever traded away. Useful, but is a bat without a position and not a good enough bat to be DH. With the production he has had if he was with the Twins the people here would be screaming to trade him. See Larnach, Trevor

This organization doesn’t do much for trading for experienced talent. Except for the very elite player, most of what is traded for in terms of prospects turn into bench players fill a need, or relief pitchers. The Twins have done a great job of plucking future all stars off other teams. What they haven’t done is trade for that piece that puts them in a position to go over the top. Shannon Stewart may have been the last impact player they traded for.

I wouldn’t call the blogger a hater as much as I would wonder if it is more clickbait content or ignorance of development of players.

If Roden can’t figure out MLB pitching perhaps they can trade him to a low pressure situation like Colorado where he might do better.

The title of the article reminded me of a song that I would hope is not a metaphor for this season

Trades for even players at the level of Jefferson rarely bring back quality players when they are rentals. San Diego has really nothing to trade. They mention New York and Tampa Bay as landing spots. Cashman has made a lot of trades. About the only prospect he has given up that would qualify as a solid player is Durbin.

Since the Falvey regime took over the picks after number 10 have produced Festa, Varland and Ober as valuable players, Then there is Helman, Funderburk, Julian, Laweryson, Fedko, and Ohl, as useful players Ley us hope that Paredes will be added to the first part of the list rather than the latter list.

They have drafted a few, but not have signed any of them.

Best to trade before the high minors wear out the shine of the prospect status

The 5 year rule starts with the incoming class of 2027

Injuries have hampered the bullpen. The only players that have gone wrong are Topa and Orze. In the recycling end of the bullpen, Banda performed at career levels, Gomez better. Pretty much anyone else is having the season one should expect by career. Development of pitchers has been about as successful as one could hope for.. morris developed, the others still offer hope

I doubt the team wants him to pitch more batting practice. The Twins tinkered with his pitching so much he is probably better off somewhere else.

As the article is listed as being posted 15 hours ago, I would assume Parker is right about people not reading. Maybe the TD faithful have forgotten who Parker is

Abel to the 60 day. I think he may have been oh the 15 day for the last 59 days. I didn’t check

What the article shows is that when you trade your star players at best you get back complementary players and fodder for more trades. If you use the fodder well, you can get another star player. Every now and then you will get a good player in a non premium position like Durbin

The scouting director is unchanged, the outcomes in the draft are likely unchanged. Now if you want to claim they should be moving on from Johnson, an argument for that would require a little research beyond one cherry picked stat Premium defensive positions in the amateur and now semipro part of baseball have always had the premium athletes. No wonder they get drafted fist. One would think a baseball writer would know that. The bat first player will get drafted later. Organization wise they long ago drifted from the 3 outcome hitter. Finding that 40 HR guy wasn’t going to be easy.

A starter is more necessary than a reliever. Development wise he likely should be in AAA. They need him in the majors. He hasn’t yet shown he doesn’t belong as a starter. That is why he is being used as he is

Cheap free agent guys who were pretty good RP brought back Tyler Watson, Dakota Chalmers or cost Llewelyn Diaz. The exception was Felix Lopez having a career half season
