    I am expecting either Hernandez from Seattle or Bader from NY. Bader and Peralta from NYY for Larnach is a possibility. Other option is a shocker and would create some real buzz - Polanco, Larnach, Gray or Maeda, Martin to STL for Goldschimdt
  2. mickster
    Still 13 hours until the deadline
  3. mickster
    I would not trade both, but one of them could be flipped
  4. mickster
    Lopez will have good numbers as he is with his family. I appreciate the Twins making this move for him. Gallo out and Larnach up is an upgrade on offense. Would like to see Larnach, Martin, Gordon, Maeda/Gray, Miranda, SWR used in some trade deal

    Agree on the backlash in trading Miranda last year. This year, not as much.
  6. mickster
    Hindsight is always dangerous. The Jorge Lopez trade last year was one most liked. Noone say Cano coming. The Mahle trade was well recieved at the time. We have a logjam now, so Steer and CES would be here at the expense of who? Looking back putting Miranda and Gordon in the trade would have been better.
  7. mickster
    I completely agree with this. Those wanting a big trade, remember that someone has to go for a new face to come in.

    Send Winder back down and bring up Dallas and go to a 6 man rotation for a turn, then replace Sands with another BP arm.

    I have been won over and prefer we keep Wallner, but what will happen by Friday with Polanco and Buxton coming back? Are there moves happening today to free up roster space? Gallo was pulled yesterday for an illness so I could see him hitting the IL, but then who? It has to be Larnach or Wallner right? A trade would put someone on our ML Roster so maybe it will be a two for one?
  10. mickster
    Gordon shouldn't see Target Field again.
  11. mickster
    Wallner will go to St. Paul and you will see Polanco at 3B some.
  12. mickster
    If you don't carry over the horrid year from Pagan last year, he has been pretty solid in '23
  13. mickster
    Expect Wallner to go down "too many LH hitting OF on the roster"
  14. mickster
    Part with Gordon
  15. mickster
    I believe Miranda may have some upside, but 3B is for Lewis in the future and Lee is coming as well. He will need to go. I would also like to see Kepler traded
  16. mickster
    Jose Miranda
  17. mickster
    He won't be up if we land Candeleria from the Nats
  18. mickster
    I would agree with the fact he has earned the FA attempt and should try and get that final payday. To be clear, I think any offer the Twins make will have to be significantly above others in $$ or years for him to come back and be a 5-6 inning pitcher every start

    Rocco is the reason that Sony won't even entertain a new contract with the Twins. Needs a longer leash for sure - he of any of the SP has earned it. The short leash, weakens the overall bullpen and keeps the train going back and forth from St. Paul. Rocco needs to have more trust in the SP and how they feel and not the numbers on a sheet.

    Chapman from KC would be a great get - but he gets more expensive the closer the deadline gets. KC is in a major rebuild and maybe a couple of low level prospects might do the trick - waiting until the end of July and the talent required to get him will be much higher
  21. mickster
    Not giving up on Julien, just looking at options. I would take him over Gallo, based on age. I was not a fan of the Gallo signing, but he does play top tier defense and gives pop. Rooker will fade after the hot start most likley, hope not but water eventually finds it's level. Miranda and Larnach are disappointments yes, and new scenery may help. Wallner will be here soon as I think Keplers leash is out to run out.
  22. mickster
    I don't want him to go for a rental - however we don't know the state of the SP at that time and if they could get someone under contract to help the rotation that would be good. Gray is a FA and will test the market. Mahle is as well, but TJ will take away most of his year. Rotation for 2024 is Ryan, Lopez, Ober, Varland, Paddock w/Winder, SWR and others in the wings so not bad. I am hoping a 3 year extension for Sony is offered and thus we can be stingy with a trade. A CF under contract would be the best fit though. With Miranda, Lewis, Lee, Martin, Julien looking to come up that makes a logjam. Polanco becomes the other chip, and has been injured a bit, but he provides such a spark and makes a difference in our lineup I would like him signed. Unless Lewis or Martin can be an everyday CF, and I am doubting Lewis is going there. Something will have to give at some point.

    Julien may be a prime candidate for the Twins to flip in a trade. The bat and walks will entice someone for a young prospect and I think he is more expendable then the others at this time. Miranda may turn into a 1B/3B option but needs work as well, or trade. One of the two may end up being a centerpiece to a deadline deal.
  24. mickster
    I don't think Chapman would be worth the price we would have to pay for a rental. Burnes is intriguing with the additional year of control. I hold out hope that Sony Gray signs back as well. Burnes might cost us Miranda/Martin. Hader is a luxury and won't come cheap. But would be a solid addition. Maybe SD tries to dump some salary if they are still below expectations later in the season, but I am guessing this would be an expensive rental as well..

    The agree on the Sony Gray deal - but I want to talk about the bad Dyson - 100% agree Mahle - I would still do that trade. Twins have a logham of infielders and so parting with a couple was a good dael. Maeda - tough one. Graterol is good and bad, Trade looked really good early, then now unsure. But I would say a wash. Paddock - Rooker makes this look rough now, but NO ONE saw that coming. This will depend on how Paddock rebounds. I like the trade, just the timing was not good. Lopez - for Areaz is a deal you make every time it is offered.
