If the Twins can get a top 50 prospect or even two top 100 prospects for Morneau now or at the trade deadline they should pull the trigger. However, if there isn't this level of interest in him I suggest they hold on to him for two reasons. 1 - keep a competitive team (as much as possible in the current situation) to keep fan interest in the team. 2 - Give him a 1 year qualifying offer after the season (roughly 13 million) and if he signs a multi year deal else where the Twins still get a high draft pick for him. If he takes the offer, the Twins have one more year with little risk while they start bringing up the young talent from the minors and see where the team stands before deciding on Morneau's future in MN.
