    I would say package him with larnach or celestino for prospects, possibly even waiting to see if he has a good training camp in the spring to up his value
  2. Jim wyllie
    Definitely keep him and the logical solution get everyone playing time is a rotational dh next year to help keep players healthy.
  3. Jim wyllie
    I would exercise both Kepler and Polanco options and if it comes down to it they can be traded.

    I think they could use at least 1 or 2 more good arms but don't forget the bullpen was overworked against the didgeridoo in part because a game that could have ended sooner, likely with a twins win was extended and blown by ridiculous umpire mistakes that even the dodgers broadcasting team felt the twins were screwed by the umps. Jax and thielbar are solid, and duran and Lopez give us a good back end to the pen. However letting coolumbe get away was a mistake as Moran does have control issues and pagan needs to be moved on from. The bull pen just needs more depth. Also Stewart has been a nice addition.
  5. Jim wyllie
    It was a trade risk worth taking and given team history perhaps they can resign him to a michael Pineda like deal to recoup some value
  6. Jim wyllie
    I would suggest they at least try celestino at lead off in spring training

    First I remember reading towards the beginning of the off-season that AK's wrist bone being shaved down could impact how well he plays or even if he can play well moving forward. Secondly all the focus seems to be on trading for a pitcher where that is a priority I would also offer perhaps AK, Larnach, and Wood-Richardson as a start to Pittsburgh for Reynolds. He gives us a sure fire well rounded outfielder who can play all 3 outfield spots, a definite improvement and help to clear the outfield log jam. A trade like that and Lewis returning in July to take up an outfield spot would give consistency and flexibility to the outfield.

    Our starting pitching is pretty deep right now with a big group, gray, Ryan, Ober, mahle, winder, Verlander, and unknown amount of innings from maeda. I'm the minors we have wood Richardson and a hopeful bounce back for canterino and belazovic. I don't pitching should be a free agency priority right now I would say bringing back Correa should be priority 1 for his on field skills and clubhouse presence. Then go for lineup upgrades perhaps dh and catcher. The outfield is already crowded I would start ghe year with buxton Gordon and wallner as the starters with larnach earning playing time and lewis given a spot when he's healthy.
  9. Jim wyllie
    Something no one seems to consider is where will royce Lewis be playing next year when he gets healthy. I know Correa is not likely coming back, but if they do bring him back and retain urshela the twins end up with massive log jam in the outfield and my thoughts fir it are lewis Buxton and waller starting and larnach as of/dh with kirilloff the odd man out at this point considering his wrist issue may be career threatening

    There is no need to trade away the farm this year I agree, but I will say this the Yankees likely won't keep the pace they are on winning games, they have holes and a softer lineup than usual, we have played well against the Jay's, rays, red Sox heck we were in all 3 games against the Yankees at least til the late innings. Bullpen improvement should be the big focus in trades but be smart and make the right deals, and if a good starter can be added at a reasonable price go for it. Also we may have been swept by the Astros earlier but we were banged up and without Correa and they were red hot and they too will likely eventually slow down in the second half especially when teams have made adjustment on Pena. Don't forget Acala and coolumbe are good pen arms will be back from injury later this year. The twins have had more players injured than any other team and are still in first place don't forget that, cause it shows the depth the twins do have.

    Well as I've commented before that contradicts everything Correa himself has been reported as saying. He has been reported saying he likes minnesota, his favorite restaurant juicy Lucy's is in minnesota, he sees his contract as a 3 year deal not a one year deal and is open to a longer term deal in minnesota. Also if the twins were expecting him to leave after this year why would they play royce Lewis in center field. And why would he consider opting out this off season with a shortstop heavy free agent class again and Aaron judge being available after what happened last off season, he would be wiser to wait at least one more year
  12. Jim wyllie
    As I've said before Sherman's report contradicts what Correa was reported to have actually said, first he likes minnesota and his favorite restaurant juicy Lucy's is in minnesota, second he sees it as a three year deal not a one year deal. Also why would the twins play royce lewis at center field if they are expecting Correa to leave and if hos market to develop this past off-season why would he put himself back into a shortstop heavy class.
  13. Jim wyllie
    My suggestion have the twin wirk on a deal that would include him as an extra piece to go with perhaps months and puk. If his numbers aren't very good right now he wouldn't cost much extra and would still leave the twin pen and rotation upgraded. It wouldn't a cheap trade to get done but it could be a big game changing trade for a play off run
  14. Jim wyllie
    Definitely bring him back but maybe see if the Phillies would throw in a good reliever too
