    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.

    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

    Package would have to include Painter, Gage Wood, and Cade Obermueller for me to even consider trading Ryan to Phillies
  8. Historyking88
    Phillies have one of the weakest farm systems in the league. At this point would it even be worth it to acquire Painter?
  9. Historyking88
    How about making a draft prediction that everyone doesn’t already expect to happen?
  10. Historyking88
    The only option that works in this scenario is Ober for Mayo one for one. However after what the Orioles traded for Baz today. It’s probably going to cost a lot more than that. Festa could be their next closer and there is no way in hell they are trading Abel after just acquiring him.
  11. Historyking88
    Rotation should be Lopez, Ryan, Matthews, SWR, and Bradley. Ideally they trade Ober, move Festa to the bullpen, and let Prielipp and Abel start at Triple-A. If they were to trade Ryan. Then insert whichever top pitching prospect they trade for into the rotation and everyone else moves up a spot.

    If anything they should shift Festa to the bullpen not Matthews. Zebby still has a higher upside than Festa.

    I think Peterson is the best fit for the Twins but I wouldn’t mind seeing either him or Flukey on the Twins. Do either of these guys have true “Ace” potential? And if the Twins were to draft one of them how soon do you think they could be fast-tracked to the majors?

    The entire premise of this article is stupid. You let Lee play SS until mid-season to see what you have with him and if he’s not good you call up Kulpepper to see if he can stick at SS. There is no point in wasting whatever little resources this team might have for a position they have a fair amount of depth at.

    This is perhaps the dumbest way they could rebuild their bullpen. Topa is not a high leverage pitcher and the Twins should NOT resign him nor should they bring back Thielbar! And are you out of your mind converting Matthews to a reliever? If anything move Festa to the bullpen and he can become the new closer. Promote others like Bragg and Klein along with Ohl and Adams and then you might have the makings of something. Or you know make a trade or two.

    You don’t trade Ryan without getting Tolle or Early at minimum
  27. Historyking88
    Would like to see you conduct this same exercise more particularly concerning Boston and Philadelphia. Curious to think if either would give up Tolle or Painter in a trade for Ryan.
  28. Historyking88
    I would like to see them trade for Victor Vodnik from Rockies. He could be a great closer for the bullpen. Otherwise I think Festa makes the most sense at this point.

  30. Historyking88
    As much as Tolle would be a great addition. I would rather have a package of something like Early and Witherspoon. Otherwise shoot for the moon and see if Phillies are willing to give up Painter for Ryan with the future of Wheeler being a giant question mark.
