    What about Ryan for Jackson Flora and a lottery ticket or two? That would be a ballsy trade for both teams. (This is assuming the Giants can work out an extension with Ryan for the trade to happen.)
  2. SteveLV
    I was begging for an Eldridge trade last off-season. Too late now. I am not sure of the legality, but the only way the Giants would deal for Ryan is if they could have a deal in place for an extension. They do have some tempting pieces. Still would ask for Eldridge!
  3. SteveLV
    No.
  4. SteveLV
    This is easy: 1) New Owners. The other 2 will take care of themselves after number 1.
  5. SteveLV
    Does Leipold have enough money to buy the Twins, too? I think he has done a pretty good job with the Wild--certainly better than the Twins are performing--and seems popular (not a huge Wild fan).
  6. SteveLV
    How about Lewis for Casas? Lewis might flourish playing half his games in Fenway with his pull-heavy approach and the Monster; Twins could take a flyer on Casas getting healthy and returning to form.
  7. SteveLV
    If they weren't willing to trade Jeffers when they should have, what is different about Ryan's situation? They should look for a trade, but will they?
  8. SteveLV
    Waste of electronic ink.
  9. SteveLV
    If I squint hard, I could see carrying Lewis as the 1B/2B platoon against LHSP's.
  10. SteveLV
    If you seriously think the Dodgers and Twins are playing on the same, level playing field, we have nothing further to discuss on this topic. That would be an absurd take.
  11. SteveLV
    Offer him BOTH the QO and a $50M, 3 year deal to re-sign. That way he is guaranteed to either play under the QO or return the highest level comp pick.
  12. SteveLV
    Red Sox have always liked Ryan and if they lose to the Yankees again, they might be ready to make a big move. Would have like Tolles! Or Arias!
  13. SteveLV
    Why would arthroscopic elbow surgery in October force him to go to AAA? That is a strange takeaway.
  14. SteveLV
    Development is easy when you hardly ever (Skubal the exception) have to trade any of your talent to get GREAT players on your roster. You have an open checkbook, the ridiculous sweetheart deal shielding significant portions of your revenue due to an owner divorce resolved 15 years ago, and now have the fantastic loophole of deferred comp to exploit. Oh, and you have a great team in a great market with a great climate. How on earth could that franchise succeed?
  15. SteveLV
    That was a pretty underwhelming end of season presser, IMO. A lot of platitudes and generalities. Disappointing season, but consistent with the talent they fielded. Made the exact wrong moves leading up to and at the trade deadline. Should have leveraged needs from other teams to extract good value for Jeffers and Ryan before they leave. Buying on 1 year RP's was pretty meaningless when you are not a realistic contender==more lipstick on the pig. Want to generate some good will? Give Jeffers a 4 year deal. Lock up Jenkins on a long-term deal. Extend Ryan. Extend Lopez. Make some sensible trades of excess OF depth for other areas like RP's. Find a frickin' 1B that can field and hit, either through trade or FA. Cut the dead wood.
  16. SteveLV
    Kremer was a trade acquisition. Perhaps I wasn't clear: the endless wave of waiver wire pickups that failed.
  17. SteveLV
    That was a very depressing read. Total dumpster diving. Yielded one decent pickup--Gomez, and a plethora of failures.
  18. SteveLV
    I would let him compete in ST for a R-handed platoon bat at 1B and 2B to offset Clemens. If he stinks, send him on. But the days of 5-600 AB's are gone.
  19. SteveLV
    I am not a Sabato fan, but an F after 6 AB's? Talk about the proverbial cup of coffee. You need to add "INC" to your grading system and put Sabato, Gonzalez and Ross in that category. Rest looks pretty accurate.
  20. SteveLV
    I think he meant he prefers Keasch in LF and Roden in RF. Both are in the lineup.
  21. SteveLV
    Easy to spend Pohlad money: 1) Sign Jeffers 2) Extend Ryan 3) Extend Lopez 4) Give Jenkins one of those 8 year deals. 5) Add additional pitching. See? Easy!
  22. SteveLV
    Bell getting night off.
  23. SteveLV
    Add Roden. Subtract Kreidler. They love Clemens, so expect to see him in a big role again. Martin is on thin ice at this point.
  24. SteveLV
    Glad we "acquired" assets at the Trade Deadline for our "Playoff Run" so we could be competitive with teams like the Yankees..... This FO/Ownership is so out of touch with baseball reality it is actually sad.
  25. SteveLV
    Only options seem to be LF, 1B or DH. He can supplant Lewis at 1B as far as I am concerned, but don't know if he can field that position either.
