The Twins have Walker Jenkins a top 10 prospect who's future looks bright. If he continues to develop on an arc similar to let's just say someone like Langford. Eventually you will have to pay him in order to keep him. Right now his value as a trade piece is high. Why wouldn't a team trade a Jenkins or Holliday for a player like Skubal. I'd want to extend Skubal to complete the deal. I wind up with a frontline starter for several years. I might rue the day if my prospect turns out to be a Mookie Betts. Thats the risk. In the same token, if Skubal is that guy who gets me over that hump and brings a championship. That's the reward.. I'd make that trade every time. Lewis was a 1 1. He's a fine player but it was 6 years in the making. Lets just say Jenkins arrives in 26. I still have a prime Skubal for 1.3 years before he even arrives and another 3 or 4 depending on how long you extend him. But of course if my hands are tied by ownership there's not much I could do. JTOL.
