  1. The Sox would make a trade that would make them better now and the future. It would be MLB level prospect and other prospects. The Sox. Have good bullpen pieces. The Sox’s in my opinion are fishing for a steal.
  2. Trea Turner or Nick Gordon? Brandon Nimmo or Bubba Starling? Kyle Tucker or somebody who didn’t pan out and I forgot the name already? Lots of luck involved in the draft
  3. What is most likely to get traded are high ceiling prospects that are not near major league ready for thee pitching prospects. The need at the major league level is going to be there for that pitcher sooner or later. High ceiling position players it depends on what is ahead or just behind them. Lee wont go anywhere without SS being settled. Julian. Won’t go anywhere if they think Polanco is going to be injury prone or fading
  4. Never for Miami, but the Twins have done OK, Mets got Thor for Dickey
  5. Reynolds can ask for a trade but the team still has 3 years of control
  6. Dickey was traded to Seattle after he was returned by Seattle. Nit picky, but as long as people are being that way about Santana, who the Twins couldn’t send down to the minors that year, I thought the more nits the merrier
  7. When the team reached 42-0 and Judge already hir his 25 home run with Arraez already on base there might be sell outs then. To spend as the Dodgers, Yankees and the like, every fan would have to spend about $100. Merchandise is a league thing, The Twins do not get parking revenue, and there is the revenue sharing that goes on.
  8. You can say they are NOT a small market team. They are not a large market team, either. The differences between the Twins revenue and the top 8-9 teams was close to 100 million
  9. An old dude on another team came back from IJ and did pretty good. Pitched almost 200 innings when his season was finally over, picked up some hardware. In other words he returned to what he was. The problem for Marea becomes what is his recovery? Is he really the 2020 pitcher or the spot starter he was with the Dodgers? Time will tell
  10. Angel, Dodgers, Texas, Atlanta, Giants all have been linked to Hanniger
  11. 2022 22 -2.2 Wichita TL AA MIN 37 160 143 19 39 8 0 8 25 0 1 14 48 .273 .338 .497 .834 71 9 1 0 2 0 2022 22 -0.2 Cedar Rapids MIDW A+ MIN 46 191 159 30 45 9 2 11 40 0 0 25 43 .283 .398 .572 .970 91 2 6 0 1 0 They are still pretty good. Sorry my touch for copy and paste was not better
  12. To remove a player from the 40 man roster a team has to DFA them, thus making them available to all of the clubs. Attempting to stash a player would be a losing proposition. Look at the multiple times a player has switched teams multiple times over the off season
  13. The Twins made a quite a few trades last year. It might be safe enough to assume there were a lot of other trade offers. Leguminous may have been a prospect that came up in discussions. It will be interesting to see if this is the start of a busy off season or a return to minimal impact trades
  14. So you think Anderson is the only quality starting pitcher?
  15. Most teams have a full 40 man roster. There will be non tendered players between now and the draft to open up spots. There are also free agents to sign. For a prospect to be selected pretty much they have to be a better prospect than someone who was on the 40 man of some team at the end of the season and offer more of an upside, I think this year’s rule 5 will be a snooze fest
  16. Since Rodney it to me has appeared that Baldeli will try to use the better reliever against the heart of the order rather than by the inning. There still has to be a closer mentality for the bottom of the order in the ninth but it is not necessary to have a closer if they score runs in the 8th with the top of the order
  17. They tried hard for Darvish. For every Scherzer that continues on pitching well for a new team there seems to be the Zimmermans, Corbins and Mad Bum who diminish. The successes are easily remembered, the failures not so much
  18. Willie Norwood. It was said he could run like a deer. It was just too bad the were all those headlights above the stadium
  19. A Twins All Star 2B on the trading block?. Anybody got Dave’s number for the true scoop?
  20. Only if they have a turntable with instructions in German
  21. The trade was addition by subtraction. Anything beyond that was a bonus.
  22. Not a bad idea to anyone but Boras who is probably looking for a deal tp take Correa to 37. All iy takes is one team
  23. The list of shortstops shows that winning is a team game because there have been plenty of winning seasons with shortstops that had flaws.
  24. Maybe losing his closer role to Colome messed with his head. Relievers are smallish sample size. 2 numbers were higher. BB/9, HR/9. That is not a good combination when they happen in the same inning
  25. Not everybody wants Correa resigned. I find it hard to laugh at that kind of statement.
