    Do note that we currently have 3 spots open on the 40 man. There’s plenty of room for more additions.

    Just a thought, what team’s fanbase is happy with this trade deadline? Is anyone satisfied with the mediocre pitchers that have been traded in the last week? I don’t think this is just a Twins thing. The Yanks haven’t been in the rumors lately for starting pitchers, is it time to panic? The Red Sox only have acquired Andrew Cashner, you think that’s gonna move the needle? The As and Rays fans are probably disappointed, and the Astros also have yet to do anything. And that’s just the AL.

    Yes, very good, getting Graterol back is fantastic. I was starting to get very worried about that shoulder problem. Here's hoping for no more setbacks!

    As a general principle, prospects usually have a rough time transitioning from A+ to AA as the competition is a bit of a difficulty curve. Just from my general perception, hyped up prospects usually start kicking butt in A- and A+, but then reach AA (or sometimes AAA) and then cool off a little bit.

    I doubt that was the end of negotiations, as I could imagine they could re-open talks on Wednesday. But they're asked for Buxton / Kiriloff & Lewis, so it seems they want a humongous sum, so I can't blame the Twins for backing away. Here's hoping they can land a top-end reliever. From that list, I'd really only like Yates.
  6. Danchat
    Kiriloff as a headliner in a package for Syndergaard? Sure, I'd be up for it. Lewis and Syndergaard plus more? Heck no!

    Minor is less inspiring? The guy’s having an all-star year and I could trust him to be our #2 starter in the playoffs. Leake would be a major disappointment.
  8. Danchat
    I’m also looking for an explanation for why no other competing MLB team didn’t top this offer. Is Stroman generally overrated? Does Toronto love those pitching prospects for some reason?

    Yay, now that Duran has escaped Fort Myers, he can finally get some Wins under his belt!
  10. Danchat
    Totally agreed. Cron is on pace to be a 2.0 WAR 1B, which is a heck of a bargain for a guy we got on waivers and we only have to pay $4.8M. Plus he's very good defensively. I highly doubt a .810 OPS is replacement level, even at 1B.

    I'm shocked no other competing team in the league outbid what the Mets gave the Blue Jays... The Mets were the only team to make this offseason interesting, and now they appear to be shaking things up during the trade deadline. Let's see if a team is willing to overpay for Syndergaard, which is what I think they're doing... but it's hard to tell what they're thinking.

    Not bad from Gibson, got a groundball that Polanco should have been able to handle, and then 3 strikeouts, one courtesy of Angel Hernandez.
  13. Danchat
    Well, good teams also have much better batters than the White Sox, Tigers, and Royals do...
  14. Danchat
    Here it is, thanks to Baseball Reference: WP lower than .500: hitters have a .229/.274/.405 (.679 OPS) vs Gibson WP equal to or greater than .500: hitters have a .277/.352/.421 (.773 OPS) vs Gibson And also: In 9 wins, hitters against Gibson hit .196/.232 (.536 OPS). In 4 losses, hitters against Gibson hit .352/.414 (.982 OPS). In 8 non-decisions, hitters against Gibson hit .276/.366 (.854 OPS).

    I don't think he hustled, he only turned on the jets once he saw the ball wasn't fielded cleanly. I think he could have made it if he was going at 100%.
  16. Danchat
    Wow, what a start! We had a total of 3 hits yesterday, and now 5 hits to start off today's game without a single out! Let's get this win, and a 3/4 series win is pretty good. By the way, the Twins have a 32-20 road record, which is tied with the Braves for the best road record in baseball. Oh, and Cleveland is up 3-0 already in the 1st inning...
  17. Danchat
    It's nice to see Jax and Ober doing well. Teng is a name I'll be adding to the memory banks.

    Today won't mean much to me if we can win tomorrow - taking 3/4 in any 4 game series is great.
  20. Danchat
    I know being just one game ahead of Cleveland is not a good look... but it's not like the Twins have been terrible. We are just 3 games behind the Yankees for the #1 seed in the AL - so if the Twins can take advantage of the easiest schedule in the MLB, they could definitely be the #1 seed. Of course, Cleveland's playing so well they will be in contention for it too, though I expect them to cool off against better competition.
  21. Danchat
    How about a cheap flyer like Sergio Romo? I don't think losing Lewin Diaz means much to our farm system.
  22. Danchat
    If the Twins consider themselves a team that can improve pitchers upon acquiring them, then I think this move can work out. What do I mean? Well, check out what the Rays did with Romo in 2017 after they got him in a trade after the Dodgers DFA'd him: We were all mad when the Twins signed Anibal Sanchez, but then he went on to have a very good season elsewhere. I think our pitching staff could make Romo better than what he was in Miami. Oh, and losing Lewin Diaz doesn't mean much, he was going to need a 40 man spot and the Twins likely weren't going to give him one. Also:
  23. Danchat
    I don't think they've left 3 40 man spots open just for Romo. I highly doubt they casted a wide net on so many targets to come away with a single reliever.
  24. Danchat
    Looks like it's Romo for Lewin Diaz and another pitching prospect. I'm not that excited for Romo, and I hope they will use him in the 6th/7th inning rather than the 8th/9th.
  25. Danchat
    Though Sano's awful throw is not on Schoop, he missed Garver by a few feet. I wonder how many of Sano's errors have lead to runs... 12 errors in 54 games in the field is pretty bad.
