    They keep calling this guy "Craig Withrow." Pretty sure that's Liam Hendriks out there.

    Hamels springs to mind. I know he's a better pitcher but was comparable in age and salary on a $/War basis. The Phills threw in a bunch of cash and got 6 prospects back including Eickhoff. It doesn't happen everyday, for sure. It takes some creativity. Had the Phills GM sat by the phone waiting for it to ring and be "wowed" by an offer, like Antony's doing, that trade wouldn't have happened.

    They can trade Santana and still try to contend in 2017. It might just take two trades to accomplish it, rotation-wise. Wild, I know.
  16. Willihammer
    No, and the interim GM isn't shopping him. What would the market look like if Antony were more proactive about making a deal?
  17. Willihammer
    The rental market looks thin. Rich Hill is injured. Cashner is probably not much of an upgrade for most teams. Barring a 2nd half injury, Santana's 2/27 contract would be easily movable this winter if a team just wanted to get out from under it.

    His logic seems to be- If the youth take a step forward, and they have 5 decent starting pitchers, then the Twins should be competitive in 2017. They currently have 5 or fewer decent starters. They would be unable to replace Santana internally. They would be unable to replace Santana in free agency, or in trade, without overpaying. Here's where that logic is wrong IMO. In the offseason player valuations are determined by the free agent and trade markets. The same is true this time of year. But the trade market in July is overheated by the marginal value of 2nd half wins to teams in the playoff hunt. This doesn't impact trades in the offseason. It boils down to this IMO- sell now, while the trade market is hot, and rebalance later, when the trade market is cool.

    That seems to be the consensus, from what I've read. I wonder how cheap it has to get before someone deems it worth buying out. Back in 2014 this source thought its brand value alone was worth $14b. Today the company is only valued at $11B. http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/google-beats-apple-list-world-s-most-valuable-brands-157868

    Sure, but its not written in stone. He is on pace for ~200 IP and a 110 ERA+. Antony makes a fair point. If Santana hit free agency this winter, he'd probably make at least as much as the Twins owe him (3/40.5). No?
  21. Willihammer
    Any thoughts on Twitter? Its down big today and trading near a 52 week low.
  22. Willihammer
    Whether he is named GM or not, Antony is under contract for 2017, DSP says.
  23. Willihammer
    Someone correct me but I'm 99% sure it wouldn't. There would be no "Optional assignment" if he didn't return to the minors for 20 cumulative days. But rostering him now would be 2 seasons premature, at least as Rule 5 considerations go.
  24. Willihammer
    It might cost 30 seconds of game time but it slows the pace, no? Improving pace is the stated goal. When an IBB occurs immediately before a pitching change as they often do, the combo really slows things down. Wouldn't you prefer a change like that to something more drastic like "reliever must face x-number of batters" or "only x pitching changes per half inning allowed?"

    Did anyone catch Barreiro at about 5:30 today? He pretty much summed up this election. It was awesome. http://www.iheart.com/show/139-The-Dan-Barreiro-Show/?episode_id=27587052 97:30
