    Looks like the Royals are going to win again [they're up 15-2]. And Cleveland's up 10-2. And the Yankees already won.
  2. Danchat
    Yeah, if Kintzler is gone, then they need at least 2 major relievers signed.
  3. Danchat
    I think the Twins have to give out at least one sizable contract to a free agent to help the bullpen. Maybe you extend Kintzler and then you have: Kintzler FA Addition Rogers Hildenberger And guys like Busenitz/Boshers/Curtiss/Melotakis/Rosario/Bard/Reed can fill out the back and hopefully the injured Jay/Chargois/May/Burdi might eventually contribute. I don't see it as a strength and they still might try to slip in some mediocre veterans a la Boyer and Breslow. He's not under contract next season and he's topping out at 90, I'll take a hard pass.

    I would trade Santana now if I could, depending on the return, of course. If teams aren't down on him after his lousy June-July and offer a good package, I'd pull the trigger. I'm not convinced he'll be great in 2018. I would try to trade Dozier but nobody wants a 2B, so that'd probably be fruitless. I don't know if Kintzler would fetch much, so I'd just try to extend him. Trading Abad last season got us basically nothing (though the Twins would likely get something a little better than Pat Light for Kintzler). He'd only be a rental for a contender and thus not cost very much. But most of the trades will probably happen over the offseason and not in the coming days.

    Don't worry, we'll hear plenty of it tomorrow. Er, I mean later today.
  6. Danchat
    Hooray, inherited runs! Can we send Pressly down for a bench player like Garver now?
  7. Danchat
    Wait, why did it take a full 10 minutes for this illegal substitution stuff? What in the world is going on?!
  8. Danchat
    For any interested, Eduardo Nunez just got traded from the Giants to the Red Sox.
  9. Danchat
    Nice outing for Hildenberger, now just don't have him pitch 2 more innings.
  10. Danchat
    Finally, there's a RISP hit for Eddie.
  11. Danchat
    I don't think he's quite as a high-caliber prospect as Seager is/was. Seager's got a ton of power and is better defensively.
  12. Danchat
    Wait, we have T-shirts? This is the first I've heard about it.
  13. Danchat
    So basically he isn't the type of guy we should try to give an extension...
  14. Danchat
    I think Gibson will be back. I don't think Colon will get many more starts, but then there is Santiago, but he's pretty lousy too. If Hector proves to be incompetent or Mejia continues to struggle, I could see Gibson back on this team.
  15. Danchat
    Urk. Didn't think Rogers would be the one to blow this one.
  16. Danchat
    I know Belisle has been good lately, but having him defend a one run lead against the best team in baseball is making me cringe a little bit.
  17. Danchat
    Combined with the fact that our bullpen needs to throw 4 innings here, yes.
  18. Danchat
    Bases loaded... not our Achilles heel!
  19. Danchat
    ROSARIO!!!
  20. Danchat
    Oh, right. Thanks for the reminder.
  21. Danchat
    Colon clearly had no intentions of running to first on that AB...
  22. Danchat
    I'm surprised the FO gave up on Haley at this point, but I'm pretty confident they made the right move. Haley seems to have low upside and is already 26, I don't really much value in him. Looking back, his selection in the Rule 5 draft now looks quite bizarre... but at least it's over with and it doesn't have to go down the J. R. Graham route (they kept Graham on the roster the whole 2015 season and then let him go just a month or so into 2016). I don't see why we need Recker on the 40 man, so I have to assume they'll DFA him soon and hope to get him through waivers. There is no reason why we need 5 catchers on the 40 man roster. Also... do we know which spot on the 40 man Garcia is going to take?
  23. Danchat
    Good move. I was a bit concerned when it was mentioned that the Twins were going to give up a "good" prospect, but Ynoa is just a lottery ticket, I'm perfectly fine with giving up a guy like him. Acquiring Recker seems superfluous, but hopefully it foreshadows Garver arriving in the majors. I sure hope so. Garcia should be an improvement as the #4 guy in the rotation, though he may have trouble with the NL to AL jump. He'll at least be better than Colon.
  24. Danchat
    We've been pretty lucky with injuries so far. Even the best teams like the Astros and Dodgers have been hit by them. Let's hope our best guys can stay healthy.
  25. Danchat
    The Breslow move felt like a classic TR dumpster dive that kinda worked for a couple months but then the wheels came off and the FO gave him too many chances. I hope they learn their lesson. I really want to see Busenitz or Garver come up. Both are ready for the majors.
