    Also, we have no idea what other Teams are offering. Could be Painter would be needed to beat those offers in the eyes of the Twins FO.
  2. SteveLV
    MLB Trade Rumors adds the detail that the Astros owner "remains a fan" of Correa and would welcome him back to Houston. That should help with the financial piece. You have about 27 hours to pull this off. The fact that Correa has "lightheadedness" and is not playing today and tomorrow is an off day gives them time to put this together. This would certainly alter the trajectory of the Twins.....

    I would do this if the Astros actually send some value back to the Twins, not just as a salary dump. And I would then NOT trade Ryan and try and extend him this off season. The Twins would then have solid starting pitching and look for younger and better position players to fill out the team. I would be curious if Correa would waive his no trade.
  4. SteveLV
    (The above assumes Correa would waive his no-trade clause to go to the Bronx. Have no idea how he feels about that, but suspect at a minimum he would like to actually play in the playoffs.....)
  5. SteveLV
    How about Bader, Coulombe and Correa to the Yankees? They can afford the contracts, need a boost, and Correa is historically excellent in the playoffs. They helped us out with Donaldson, would they do it again?
  6. SteveLV
    Is there any chance in heck the Twins can swing a deal to include Correa with one of our valuable assets in a package deal to a deep-pocket team? Correa HAS to have negative value at this point, but he is a gamer in the playoffs and might want to get out of Minnesota, especially if a re-build is on the agenda.....He would have to waive his no-trade clause, but might like NYC. We need a starting SS on a contending team to have an unfortunate injury in the next 48 hours....

    I would personally rather watch a young team put up this kind of record and try and develop those young players and give them MLB at bats than watch this current mess of a team supplemented by waiver wire wannabes. With no cap in MLB, the only way this team can get competitive is to hit on some young prospects and ride them before they go play for the Yankees and Dodgers.
  8. SteveLV
    Bader is going to test the market this off-season based upon an excellent (for him) offensive showing and his usual strong and versatile OF defense. Why would he re-sign with the Twins who are losing and on a losing trajectory?
  9. SteveLV
    Mentioned Janek in the Astros system in another thread as a C trade target.
  10. SteveLV
    He played 3 years of college ball, is 22, and his D is reportedly well developed. If the bat continues to play, I don't think it should take 2 more years to reach MLB, but obviously the Twins would need to rely on their own scouting assessment. But seems to be an obvious target.
  11. SteveLV
    MLB Trade Rumors reporting this, Astros would like him. Any trade discussion with Astros should start and end with Walker Janek, C. Hitting well, excellent defense, 22 years old, and even has a slew of stolen bases. Might be a year away, but he seems to be better than any C in the Twins system.
  12. SteveLV
    Let's turn this around. If the Twins had the Tigers' record and could swap Jenkins for an All Star starter with 2.3 years of reasonable team control, they would and should do that in a heartbeat. One of those prospects in only the headline of a package for Ryan, and since the 4 play for different franchises we certainly are not going to get more than one. The Twins are clearly sellers at this point and have no interest in competing based on a 3-6 start from the AS break against 2 of the worst teams in baseball. They have a slew of good assets. Make the most of it, but don't even THINK about trading Ryan unless it is a true Godfather deal. I would not trade Duran, either. Everyone else is on the table, except Buxton with is no trade clause. I mean everyone, and if you can somehow package players and include Correa's albatross contract, make it so. He may be willing to waive his own no trade clause to get out of here, too.
  13. SteveLV
    Add in Coloumbe and get someone actually promising, please. Maybe they are interested in Bader now with Judge on the shelf, too.
  14. SteveLV
    Go big or go home: Jax, Coulombe, Castro, Lee and Bader to the Phillies for: Painter, Johnson, Crawford, Tait, Abel and Chace. Basically the Twins get a young C and the top 5 pitchers in their system, 2 of whom have graduated to MLB (but with very few IP). Phillies probably have an excellent chance at a World Series with this boost, and the Twins have a bunch of great arms to work with and a young C who may be a long-term answer. I would hold on to Duran, and would certainly keep Ryan. This should not materially impact the rest of the Twins season, and badly inject some talent and hope into forthcoming ones. My other thought would be to try and package Duran and Correa to a big market contender to ditch Correa's contract and get some net return on Duran. Or Jax and Correa.
  15. SteveLV
    I'm out. MLB is broken as hell, and our local 9 is in for a LONG year. If they somehow ever get back above .500, I will re-visit (not that anyone cares anyways.) Good luck with the sale of the team, Pohlads. This is simply too brutal to care about.
  16. SteveLV
    Prediction: Baldelli is fired by Memorial Day, if not sooner. This team is already listless.
  17. SteveLV
    Against right handers, I like: Castro Wallner Correa Larnach Buxton whatever from there. Alternates lefties and righties. None of this matters until guys start hitting.
  18. SteveLV
    Get back to me when you get to .500. Twins 2--12 with RISP. Team BA is .171 so far. Today starting pitching was excellent and bullpen imploded, supposedly our strength. Meanwhile, Dodgers are 4-0. Color me shocked.
  19. SteveLV
    I know at some point last season the Twins collectively were batting well under .200 with RISP. That can't be all physical. They get uptight, press too hard, and perform terribly. Some players like pressure situations. This lineup--at least last year--does not.
  20. SteveLV
    The Twins so desperately need a big bopper, clutch, RBI guy in the middle of their lineup. Alonso was available, but of course our team is for sale and we would not go after him. Correa is our splash play for this decade. Sorry to be gloomy, but this League is so unfair and our current team is deeply flawed. Hope they suprise!
  21. SteveLV
    Different season, same story. Lopez mediocre, hardly an ace. He is ok, not dominant in any way. Anemic offense, and 1-8 with RISP. Heading for another average season. Meanwhile, Dodgers are already 3-0 and heading for > 100 wins. Baseball remains broken.
  22. SteveLV
    What Squirrel said. Meh team, slightly above average. On paper, not competitive with the truly good teams.
  23. SteveLV
    That request to keep the prior owner's child in management control of the enterprise is one of the most bizarre business transaction requests I have ever heard of. Completely preposterous.
  24. SteveLV
    Julien looks so frickin' uncomfortable as a 2nd baseman. Another boot on a routine play. He either needs to go to AAA and learn how to field competently, or else he is a DH. No team wants him at 2nd base regularly.
  25. SteveLV
    I think you mean "dichotomy". English police signing off.....
