Mahle pitched in 33 games the year before he was traded, Dyson 74 the year before he was traded. About the last player to not have issues was Cal Ripken

Hindsight is such a wonderful thing. Mahle and Dyson. How could you know they were or going to be injured.? Lopez. Mediocre career now having a lights out year. F for thinking about trading for him. F for having Cano throw more sliders than he should have. I can’t fault them for trading him but they shouldn’t have included Povich So what did they lose by trading? 2 designated hitters,, 2 6th starters, a reliever that didn’t fir the Twins way and suspects. How can it be failing when you did not lose much?

Anemic, by your definition then is 1/3 of the batters who are qualified statically.. Anemic would be 66% of anybody who has swung a bat in a game before today . Don’t like the numbers I post you can look them up

Snell, 30 million player option for next year. The FO can’t trade for that. Blackburn only makes sense if his trade value is a low minor league reliever with a high era. Cobb might be a good add

Good luck finding a 30 something pitcher on a bad team that is good. Maybe Chargois, but this is the front office that waived him

Farmer has been hitting just below league average by WOBA since May1. He isn’t going anywhere.

A contract based on performance (games played, awards won) would be reasonable. The agent is Boras. I think there is a greater chance of a blizzard postponing a game than Boras negotiating that type of contract. It makes no sense to give out the kind of contract that Boras would want.

The thought of extending a player that has not played a full season in over 5 years is a head scratcher.

If anything happens it will be the Twins way. They have to identify a pitcher with under 4 years service time in with identifiable upside or underutilized in a swing role.

Royals Looking To Buy At The Trade Deadline
old nurse replied to Matthew Lenz's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
With 2 win and 3 win series all it takes is a couple of peak performances by your pitchers to advance, A wild card win is always possible with Reagan’s and Lugo’s pitching,. Then, a little luck and they are in the league championship series. Closers cost good players set up do not. -
The last wild card spot is up for grabs. Maybe by the all star break standings will be more differentiated, but as it stands now these teams are as likely to be buyers as sellers. The market may be expensive. A player like Farmer might even fetch an AAA emergency starter

You can think what you want, though what is the point of weakening your team for a prayer of a player?
-
The chance of finding a prospect that is going to be good for a league average bat has a less of a probability of happening than Wallner reducing his 33% strikeout rare in St. Paul at the major league level.
-
Don’t expect a great return if you are trading Kepler
-
3 injured pitchers and a prospect that is only OK at the A+ level for a 2b having a bad year statistically is a lose lose at this point
-
What did the Twins get from dealing with Seattle last time..
-
Three broke pitchers and an above average hitting prospect type package improves the Twins?
-
Non All Star, above average corner outfielders don’t fetch much as rentals. Do you think they can find an undervalued prospect like they did with Ryan? The haystack is pretty big to find that needle
-
The front office may have to be savvy enough to identify which trams have surpluses in areas of Twins needs and what the Twins have to fill their needs. They should discuss every player on the Tampa Bay roster for prospects to see what prospects they should probably not be trading
-
Aaron Judge has a K% this year around 25%. A batting average of .300. Wallner did not. You present a weak argument.

Has Canterino even been playing catch yet? Pretty hard to help if he is not even thrown a ball this month. Festa and Varland is nothing new said.

There would have t be further falling by either team for them to give up. That is the first reason why the idea is a very slim reality. For them to sell while giving up millions in salary would involve prospects of the top 100 varsity, or potentially top 100 variety. The Twins giving up a valuable prospect really has hurt them more than helped them. That further makes this type of trade less likely to happen. In the end you have a pitcher with recent injury issues. That would be counting on a lot of good luck strike three.

The problem with eye tests are twofold. One is that you don’t see what other players do so how can one say for this year he is better or worse than the other second basemen this year. Second thing is the eyes are attached to something that has bias and short term memory losses
