  1. Except for the Twins - must be the best team in baseball and everyone just missed the memo.
  2. Shouldn't shoot the messenger and that's all Falvey and Levine are at this point. But when they come out, 'we really like our team', someone needs to ask them - so that means every other team in the sport didn't like their roster?
  3. Yankees traded Caleb Ferguson to the Astros (hated rival) for a PTBN and international signing pool $$$. Too steep of a price for the Twins.
  4. Last year's deadline was disappointing but never got the sense that Cleveland would catch the Twins in the standings. This year's deadline is way worse. Clinging to a WC spot with Boston, Kansas City, and Seattle making moves to improve their club, And the Twins do absolutely nothing.
  5. The Erceg trade is a kick in the pants. Twins have a need. Royals' farm system doesn't have much. You get outbid by a team chasing you in the standings. Just awful.
  6. Royals have had a nice deadline. They'll leapfrog the Twins in the standings before long. But, in fairness, it is hard to compete with a big market team like Kansas City.
  7. The Royals are finalizing a deal to acquire right-hander Lucas Erceg from the Athletics, per Jeff Passan of ESPN on X. The other components of the deal aren’t publicly known at this time.
  8. Yeah. Dob hate is going to be collateral damage for sure.
  9. Cobb has a decent track record. Odds of him being healthy in 2024 aren't great but not a bad guy to take a flier on.
  10. Guardians picked up Alex Cobb. Interesting buy-low candidate.
  11. It is definitely a need in the bullpen....
  12. Guards up 2-0 against the Tigers. Twins need a W tonight. 6.5 back on July 31st wouldn't be a good look. Division looks like it is slipping away.
  13. I think the Dobnak move was happening regardless. They need a long reliever to piggyback Festa and Sands likely not available today.
  14. Duran / Jax / Sands / Alcala / Dobs / Staumont / Okert / Thielbar The bottom four guys in the pen are not ML caliber relievers.
  15. Being reported by a few media outlets now...seems legit.
  16. Trade deadline '24: where Randy Dobnak is the big addition.
  17. What's more concerning here is Stewart. If he's going back to the IL, with his injury history, you have to wonder if he's back at all in 2024.
  18. He is a righty, yes but is good against lefties for his career. Okert and Thielbar are the two most obvious spots to upgrade, IMHO. Doesn't necessarily have to be a lefty.
  19. Added context: Red Sox gave up their 29th best prospect.
  20. Red Sox picked up Lucas Sims from the Reds. Waiting on the return, but doubt it was much. Better than Okert and Thielbar. This is the kind of move that you make. People will shrug and say, who is Lucas Sims? Or, they'll say it doesn't move the needle. Until the Twins are winning 3-2 in the 7th inning and Rocco hands the ball to Okert or Thielbar to get a couple of lefties out.
