  1. Historyking88 started following MLB Insider Floats Byron Buxton as Potential Trade Target for Phillies and If Yankees Want Ryan Jeffers, Twins Should Target These Prospects
  2. Historyking88
    I’ve been saying Headrick and Lagrange for Jeffers. But if you could get Warren and Lagrange or Lalane for him you make that trade in a heartbeat!
  3. Historyking88
    Jeffers for Headrick and Lagrange. You get a really good ready now lefty for the bullpen and another top prospect who can help the rotation or bullpen now as well.
  4. Historyking88
    There is no point in trading for relievers especially over the age of 35. You should only look for options that have team control beyond this year. Riley O’Brien Kevin Kelly Jeremiah Estrada Brent Headrick Victor Vodnik

    Right premise but wrong solution. If the Twins actually want to be buyers then Hancock is the perfect trade candidate. However I’m not trading Lewis or Keaschall to make it happen. You could probably make it happen by some package of Jeffers, Rodriguez, and another top 20 prospect.

    Once again you couldn’t be more wrong with your analysis and research for several reasons. First off the Twins don’t need any more position players as the top of their prospect system is filled with that. They need more pitching over anything so any deal involving Ryan should only be for pitching. Secondly the only team of these that fits this bill is the Yankees. Seattle doesn’t need anymore pitching and the other 2 teams don’t have the necessary pitching talent. However your deal with the Yankees is flawed too. Again the Twins should only be targeting pitching prospects so they should ask for a package that includes Will Warren, Carlos Lagrange, and Henry Lalane. You get an instant starter for your rotation, a prospect that could instantly start in your bullpen, and a third piece with the upside to develop into a mid-rotation starter or top end reliever.

    A: The Twins aren’t making the playoffs so there is no point in trading top prospects for a starter. B: They need bullpen help more than anything. C: Prielipp is a starter until he proves otherwise. D: The only starter they could probably afford is Foster Griffin who is just a rental.

    You can’t compare any pitchers in the Twins system to the Brewers pitcher. That’s a complete outlier because very few pitchers outside of the first round ever become true Aces. Drafting Flora would have given the Twins something they have not had in the modern era: A true Ace!

    Literally half of this article is completely redundant. You say the Twins have great pitching depth and it’s their greatest strength which are both lies. Then you turn around and try to justify trading guys like Rojas and Hill who will be part of this team’s future. Do you actually believe the crap you throw out there? Or just throw it at the wall to see if it sticks? The Twins are not going all in to trade for anyone this year anyway. If anything they need to keep building up the farm system with more pitching depth which you would get in a Ryan trade. Jenkins, Culpepper, Houston, Tait, Hill, and Quick are the only players who shouldn’t be up for consideration to be traded. If Rodriguez or Gonzalez can help get a building block for the bullpen going forward and the future along with someone from the big league roster like Larnach or Jeffers then so be it.

    True it’s been frustrating seeing his last year and a half of injuries after he got off to such a good start. But he’s only 20. Case in point Prielipp. He just needs to stay healthy and hopefully continues to develop.
  24. Historyking88
    Not going to make one difference when they don’t have any pitchers to throw him the ball. But at least we got another catcher when we already have one in the system. Instead of Flora who could help the team as soon as next season.
  25. Historyking88
    I think 5 prospects with the most to prove are Tait Hill Soto Klein Gallagher
  26. Historyking88
    Winn would be a good option but I would also look at Viktor Vodnik, Spencer Miles, or Brent Headrick. All still have years of team control and would setup the bullpen for the future
  27. Historyking88
    This entire article proves your clear lack of understanding how asset management works when it pertains to professional sports. A: your argument for keeping Jeffers is flawed in itself because there is no guarantee he will return to the pace he was on before getting injured and more importantly you really believe the Twins plan to extend him? Even if it was for a “discounted” price it wouldn’t be for less than 10-12M and there is no way they are paying that. B: Jeffers even being injured would get a nice return from someone like the Yankees who could offer up options to help bolster the Twins bullpen like Carlos LaGrange and Brent Headrick. They can be buyers and sellers at the deadline. They might be able to compete for a 3 game Wild Card Series but they are still years away from competing for a World Series.
  28. Historyking88
    Well for once I actually agree with one of your takes. Makes sense to be sellers and buyers for bullpen help. Few trade ideas I had Ryan for Fuentes, Caminiti, and Murphy from Braves Larnach for Vodnik from Rockies Jeffers for Carlos LaGrange and Brent Headrick from Yankees
  29. Historyking88
    Package would have to include Painter, Gage Wood, and Cade Obermueller for me to even consider trading Ryan to Phillies
