    I had assumed this whole time it was Miami that was trying to pry Arraez+ out of the Twins for Lopez, but it was the Twins. And they got a legit high end prospect too. The Twins would have been crazy not to do this. They can replace Arraez' production with players already in the organization (his personality of course - irreplaceable, so perhaps call it a win for Miami in the intangibles department..)

    From mlb trade simulator: Total value: 59.30 Lopez SP 38.8 Salas SS 20.5 Total value: 26.6 Name Position MTV ($Ms) Arraez 2B 26.6

    I think they need to keep Polanco for now. I'm having some trouble seeing how they make this lineup work without him until they see what, if anything, they are going to get out of the younger guys that could potentially end up at 2b (Lee, Lewis, Martin?). I don't want to see them playing Arraez there. They got roughly two WAR out of him last year and he's only going to make 7.5MM.
  5. I wish the twins were good
    Luzardo for Arraez is also reasonable...
  6. I wish the twins were good
    This is... not happening, even if they pay Kepler's salary. There's no way they are getting Luzardo and Lopez. The four players you mentioned for Lopez straight up would be about even though.
  7. I wish the twins were good
    Arreaz traded for a starter?
  8. I wish the twins were good
    "Major part" of physical already done for Twins, I'm guessing they would have signed him up on the original 285MM offer before the drama. Boras talked his way out of 80MM for his client on this one. Is that the first huge L Boras has ever taken in his career? Must be others that didn't become public but this is pretty embarrassing for him I'd think. Correa fired his last agent and his new one cost him an incredible amount of money.

    This is a great contract for the Twins compared to what others signed for. Bogaerts is a half step below, two years older, and signed for 80 million more than that. Color this fan impressed. If they can figure out a way to get Lewis and Lee into the same infield, the Twins might really have something special here.
  10. I wish the twins were good
    It's a good point, but he's not even walking the earth anymore, let alone looking for a job. We can do better now, in 2023.
  11. I wish the twins were good
    Kepler is as good as gone, so the twins would be on the receiving end of that shellacking
  12. I wish the twins were good
    Was waiting for someone to write this article. Thank you! Gross. If there's any decency left in the world it should come in the form of this ******* not being able to get a job paying him millions of dollars. Frankly, this sounds like something the White Sox would do...
  13. I wish the twins were good
    Coincidentally, they just opened a Dior store at the outlet mall!
  14. I wish the twins were good
    Walter Johnson and Cobb, reanimated from the dead and in 1915 form, this team gets to 82 wins.....maybe.
  15. I wish the twins were good
    Yes - no point in trading Maeda now I don't think, as he won't get them much. If they keep him and he has a strong first half, flip him at the deadline. Polonco might bring back something decent, couple B prospects or something in light of the cheap contract with three years on it. He's another one though they might be better off gambling that he has a good first half. Worst case they keep him another year.
  16. I wish the twins were good
    I don't really care what they do at this point. Practically speaking they are in that squishy middle ground that's close enough that they really SHOULD be trying to improve some, since another 10ish wins might be enough in this division, but they have demonstrated no desire to do that so far, and I don't even trust them to make the right moves anyway. Trading what diminished prospect capital they have at this point seems counterproductive. If they are going to sell, at least sell reasonably high. So if Gray gets them something substantial back I'd be fine with it, Mahle and Maeda should be kept for now in hopes they can recoup some value. Plus value players with three or more years of team control should all be kept, with the exception of Arraez, maybe - he's coming off a batting title and isn't making much yet. I think they could find someone that might overpay for him. It's a young team, there might be some diamonds in this group.
  17. I wish the twins were good
    For all the money they spent this offseason, they aren't DRASTICALLY improved from last year I wouldn't say. And they WERE very good last year, but not good enough to get out of the first round of the playoffs. Re-signed a few of their own guys, Verlander replacing Degrom essentially. At his age that could go t*ts up at any time. They added a couple relievers, Added an unknown quantity in Senga but lost Bassitt and Walker. Added an average-ish catcher in Narvaez. Correa is the big addition, but if he has health or performance issues, I could see the rest of it being a wash, or even a little worse. For a team that just took on about 800MM in new obligations, I'd want to be a whole lot more certain that the needle got moved substantially.
  18. I wish the twins were good
    I doubt it, unless the Twins agreed to it. He already exercised his opt out.
  19. I wish the twins were good
    Who knows what it is, but if it's serious enough to put his future ability to play in doubt, you can bet your a$$ they backing out (wonder how the Twins' fanbase would react if they ended back up with the Giant's sloppy seconds/damaged goods)
  20. I wish the twins were good
    They aren't going to get anything off value back for Kepler unless they pick up the tab
  21. I wish the twins were good
    I should qualify this to say, if they don't take advantage of the money saved by going this route on improvements elsewhere on the roster, I'm tuning this team out for a season or three.
  22. I wish the twins were good
    Just stick Farmer there and pray for rain until Lewis is back (with, ideally, a leg that is still attached at the knee), and hope he can run with it (which, again, would require a fully assembled leg.) That's a lot of hopes and prayers in one sentence, but if the Twins know anything about anything - questionable, I know - it's how to enter a season with substantial unresolved question marks (and body parts!)
  23. I wish the twins were good
    Zsa Zsa Gabor references? As if I needed a reminder the median age on this blog was 70?
  24. I wish the twins were good
    Front loading also makes him easier to trade later, if circumstances warrant doing so.

    Twins territory: we give you the Dylan Bundy of rebrands
