    I agree. As your prospects get older they lose some of their prospect value. We do not have a place for all of the top 20 prospects so package some up for pitching. I would still call Pittsburgh. James Taillon fits your description of Joe Musgrove. Taillon is coming off an injury I think he could be available.

    Angels - 8 Million - one year deal. Makes more sense there as they always seem to have starting pitchers get hurt. His track record of throwing innings will help there. I hope the Twins are going for a little more upside even if it comes with injury risk. A few starts from the Dobnak, Smeltzer, Thorp group is OK. I am just hoping for more depth and higher upside.

    I am surprised that Quintana is projected for 10 million. His last full year with Cubs 4.68 era with underlying numbers to match. I am not as optimistic about the rebound. I would be OK if he is the fifth starter. Don't want a fourth starter that we need a rebound from.

    Any of the above except Bryant. Don't think he will be worth his big contract. Nice list

    The Royals signed Carlos Santana also. So the Royals have gained ground. But the Twins have time and money so we should revist this article in about a month.

    I think the Indians did ok. There isn't that much excess value in one year of Lindor at the arbitration rates. He is as good as Mookie Betts and the Red Sox got two good but not great prospects last year. I see speculation that the Dodgers offered a better package but if the Indians felt that way they would have taken it. It was widely known he was available so I assume they took the best offer. They can use some of the $30 million saved to pick up a couple cheaper outfielders. Two young former top 100 prospects, two second round picks and saved a lot of money. Not bad- not as bad as the Cubs did trading Darvish- not as good as Tampa did trading Snell. The difference in the Snell trade is there is excess value.

    And just like Rosario I think he played hurt last year. He could bounce right back this year. I like the idea of adding another shortstop but mainly because Marwin and Adrianza's at bats are being replaced. Polanco if healthy should be fine.

    When the Padres decided to spring for Snell with a package centered around their second-best pitching prospect, they effectively took themselves out of any discussion regarding another deal. This was correct for about one day. Can we just trade for Preller?

    Thank you. That is excellent Merry Christmas

    Cinncinnati is trying to attach a bad contract which will lessen the prospect cost. If you take on Moustakous or Castellanos contract probably can't afford Cruz but you can acquire a top pitcher. I think that is a better fit than the shorstop trades.

    Do Falvey or Levine have Covid? You don't hear anything. Terry Ryan use to be done free agent shopping by Christmas. I think they will spread it around a bit. No on Bauer. That team looks like the weakest. Cave/Rooker platoon at DH would not be fun.

    Seth- Is there a 2021 Twins Prospect Handbook?

    Is there a 2021 Prospect handbook

    If you can't get Cruz on a one year deal then use the prospects. I would not give a 4 year $80 million deal for a DH.

    Both sides lost.

    I agree with TNT. Lewis can hit .211(Marwin) under .200 Adrianza. At least there would be the potential for him to be good. Kiki Hernandez usually hits around .230 with OBP slightly over .300. Have to think Lewis has a chance to do that. Spend your money on pitching. Although I don't think it will be Bauer
  17. Otwins
    White Sox will be interested.
  18. Otwins
    Why not Roye Lewis and try to get him 350-400 at bats? He has played SS, 3B and CF. Tampa Bay brings up their better prospects up and move them around some. I have to believe he can hit better than Marwin and Arianza did last year. He also helps keep the payroll down so they can address the other needs that they have. Players can develop in the majors.

    I would rather have Brad Hand than Taylor Rogers. Sign hand and non tender Rogers to offset the cost
  20. Otwins
    Would you claim Hand and non tender Taylor Rogers?
  21. Otwins
    Think Puig would sign for 2 Million? He turned down a one year 10 million this year. Doubt that he drops all the way to 2 million at least not until February
  22. Otwins
    Another thing I noticed is how much more flexible both teams. They have versatile players and more balanced line ups. They seem to be able to always have pinch hitters to offset the opposing managers pitching changes. I hope we keep Royce Lewis as a utility player for next year. He can play SS,3B and CF and if the other team brings in a lefty reliever which we see often we have a pinch hitter that may do some damage. The arguement against is he needs to play everyday to keep developing but seems to me that Marwin Gonzales played plenty this year. I think he should be able to bat more than .211 (Gonzales) or .191 (Adrianza)
  23. Otwins
    Not a fan of Stroman. Not enough strikeouts. I feel he will get overpaid. You sure he is a good clubhouse guy. Looks to me like he quit on the Mets this year.
  24. Otwins
    `Colorado is tough to deal with because they never seem to rebuild. Before the season they will project over 90 wins and say that Gray is a big part of that. I would resign Odorizzi first then check in on Gray.
  25. Otwins
    The Twins should shop everyone. Take the offer that nets you the best players back. They could replace at least two of Sano, Rosario, Kepler, Polanco, Arreaz or Buxton by playing their young players
