    I posted in another thread the trade simulator and if I remember correctly a Berrios and Rogers package would line up with a package of Pearson, Woods-Richardson or Manoah and a couple low level lottery tickets. That’s a pretty good haul. I believe Berrios alone nets at least Pearson and Kloffenstein. That’s the real value for value. Hard to say no to that if we’re looking for impact pitching

    Exactly!!! Let’s remember what was In place before the Falvine era. Terry Ryan and a bunch of guys still flying off the late 80’s and early 90’s way of doing things as the league was undergoing a massive shift. I remember a quote from a front office guy from another team saying the twins were far behind in the analytics/modern way of baseball scouting and development. It showed!!! I’m surprised they’ve changed the culture as fast as they have. I think we forget how bad the twenty teens were. A Pohlad fired a Ryan and a Gardenhire. Guys who were immortals in the day.

    It’s a tough call. I think Berrios is going to test FA no matter what from the sounds of where extension talks have run. So I think the twins will have to massively overpay him for an extension. If that’s the case you ask one question. If Pearson or Gore are on the table would you prefer 6-7 years of either one of them? Or would you like 6-8 years of Berrios at $25-$30M? Also, if we take the latter we’re talking about a smaller pitcher who’s never really had an ACE season venturing into his 30’s at the back end of that contract. Personally I’d take my chances on trying to overachieve next year with an eye toward 2023 and beyond with what hopefully amounts to a stud pitcher rather than holding the bag after 2022 and hoping to stay competitive past that. If we sell high on these guys now and get back some really good pieces there’s no reason we can’t surprise teams next year and have a really solid team going forward. There’s pieces in place. This team is not like the ‘11-‘15 clubs that were destined for 100 losses every year. This is a crossroads for sure!

    Absolutely!!! Heck, why don’t we take one of each. Gavin Williams with the first round pick and then a prepster who falls or has good upside with their next pick. Seems legit to me!

    The Twins need to start drafting pitchers in the first 2 rounds period! Kohl Stewart was the right choice when he was drafted. You don’t win the lottery if you never buy a ticket.

    We need pitchers!!!! College pitchers preferably who can be up in 2-3 years. Load the system like KC and Detroit have done. Enough outfielders. Enough with drafting 1st basemen with average power. If we’re simply gonna draft outfielders to supply the rest of the league with our over supply how about we skip that step and let them draft them. We need to take that mentality to pitching. How about we supply the league with our over supply of pitching? We need to be drafting pitchers!!!! Rant over. Haha

    This is very true but to this point neither Berrios or Buxton have been willing to sign extensions. Maybe Buxton does after realizing he’s probably not getting his huge payday in FA due to the fact that he can’t stay healthy for more than 100 games and takes the guaranteed money from the twins rather than gambling on having another big year next year. Berrios on the other hand is going to FA. That’s apparent at this point. As for Rogers. Relievers on the other side of 30 tend not to fair well and if we can get a haul for both Berrios and Rogers you do it! Imagine if we would’ve traded hunter, Cuddyer and a few others instead of getting a load of CB picks which literally amounted to nothing. This team isn’t that far off and reloading with some near major league talent instead of lottery tickets makes this go faster. Let’s remember that KC and Detroit are developing some strong pitching and we need a lot more!!!!

    Pearson and Woods-Richardson for Berrios, Cruz and a throw in.
  9. TNtwins85
    As much as I’ve questioned his moves I think you give him next year if we’re retooling for ‘22. He needs an experienced bench coach next to him and we need a new hitting coach.
  10. TNtwins85
    I’ll take the first 2 deals hands down. Rogers is getting old and we need to get something for him. Remember Glen Perkins ‘13-‘15? Would’ve been great to have some extra fire power in ‘17, ‘19 and ‘20 from a Perkins trade from his peak years. What could’ve he brought in? Anyways, Rogers is in the same spot here and so are the twins. Who knows, maybe we still compete next year with or without him with what we get back in our July trades this year. Retool. Not Rebuild
