    Ned? Ned Ryerson?!?

    Isn’t today the 31st? Not a huge game today, but it certainly would be nice to get a winning streak going today. Let’s go Beckham!

    According to baseballtradevalues, no: Rodon 13 Canterino 5.3 Encarnacion-Strand 2 The three closest options for a comparatively similar straight-up deal would be: Emanuel Rodriguez 14.2 Spencer Steer 14 Austin Martin 11 If you wanted to do a 2:1 deal, which SF might prefer, here is one way to approach it, offering one bat and one arm: Wallner (7.7) + either Canterino (5.3) or Woods-Richardson (5.4)

    Check out the subliminal messaging in the bottom right corner of that GIF.

    He got more than double the money for about half the number of games?

    In Joe Ryan’s defense, trying to pitch to Padres batters wearing those uniforms would have been a challenge for anyone.
  7. AlwaysinModeration
    Rocket named all of his sons names that began with K if I recall correctly. Did anyone else feel like Nick Gordon was everywhere in this game?
  8. AlwaysinModeration
    Yes.

    That is very fancy, sorry for duplicating. I saw it featured, but I thought it was for the draft itself, not related to signings.
  10. AlwaysinModeration
    Yes, the Twins should absolutely be in on Thor (even if they use him out of the pen). Trading for him now increases the likelihood he stays with them beyond this year, too. What would he cost? That’s the question. Off to go look up baseballtradevalues… …and now back. Thor is valued at 4.5. Twins could offer Julien (2.4) and Hajjar (2.4) and that would be considered an even trade according to that site. The closest individual players in terms of value would appear to be: Canterino 5.3 Miller 4.8 Balazovic. 3.5

    Here’s the mlb.com page where all signings for the Twins 2022 draftees are listed. They have until August 1 to sign all of their picks. https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-2022-draft-signings-tracker?t=mlb-draft-coverage No one has signed yet, but have to assume Brooks Lee will sign soon - will he get slot of $5.4mm? It’s also assumed that Connor Prielipp might get more than the $1.6mm slot. Starting this thread to keep track of the signings and to discuss. Copying the top ten picks from mlb.com: 1 (8): Brooks Lee, SS, Cal Poly (Pick value: $5,442,400) Has not yet agreed to terms 2 (48): Connor Prielipp, LHP, Alabama (Pick value: $1,622,700) Has not yet agreed to terms CBB (68): Tanner Schobel, SS, Virginia Tech (Pick value: $1,002,000) Has not yet agreed to terms 4 (114): Andrew Morris, RHP, Texas Tech (Pick value: $533,300) Has not yet agreed to terms 5 (144): Ben Ross, SS, Notre Dame College (OH) (Pick value: $398,500) Has not yet agreed to terms 6 (174): Jorel Ortega, 2B, Tennessee (Pick value: $301,200) Has not yet agreed to terms 7 (204): Kyle Jones, RHP, Toledo (Pick value: $235,600) Has not agreed to terms 8 (234): Zebby Matthews, RHP, Western Carolina (Pick value: $187,900) Has not agreed to terms 9 (264): Cory Lewis, RHP, UC Santa Barbara (Pick value: $164,100) Has not agreed to terms 10 (294): Dalton Shuffield, SS, Texas Tech (Pick value: $153,800) Has not agreed to terms

    I think they should take as many LSU-commits as possible.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    In other words, there is a lot of tampering and shenanigans. They should just allow picks to be traded already.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins have Baltimore right where they want ‘em.
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Anyone else in favor of picking up 1.5 games on the Guardians today?
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Yes
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    On a related note…do you think the Guardians might be interested in a former Marlins / Padres reliever whose name has a certain devil-worshiping connotation?
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Fixed that for you. Also, Buxton is 9th in the AL with 2.7 WAR.
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Can’t tell if you are joking because he gave up a walk-off homer or serious because he’s been one of the best relievers in baseball. If the Twins trade for him, sign me up. You know what they say—of you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    I’d be totally onboard a Neto pick. He’s batted over 400 each of the last two seasons for Campbell. In the NCAA regionals in three games against Georgia Tech and Tennessee, he went 7 for 13 with 3 doubles and 3 walks, including going 2-2 with a double against Chase Dollander. (He also got a hit and a walk off of Marquis Grissom Jr). He also has pitched 25 innings for the team in more than a dozen relief appearances for the Camels, including getting three saves this year. They probably could have used him on the mound in their game against Tennessee - they trailed 8-7 after 8 and then gave up 4 runs in the 9th.
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    No offense, but this is crazy.
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Twins got two years of Paddack for a year of a very good reliever. They’ve already started 7 pitchers in the rotation this year. The trade was worth doing, glad they did it, and I think it will wind up a clear win over two years.
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    So far this year: Garver OPS+ 79 Jeffers OPS+ 125
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    Why wasn’t Duran challenging them with 100+ there?
