    Clutch Sports and SI also mentioned something similar. So I would tend to believe the Jax deal.
  2. Chris Hove
    I'm not sure if it's an overtraining issue across all sports or what, but it's been a significant problem with Twins pitchers over the last few years.
  3. Chris Hove
    Hayes is also reporting that Griffin Jax is "emotionally torn" about the possibility of being traded. So there's that.
  4. Chris Hove
    The White Sox started the conversation out asking about our top prospects. Things never really progressed, and eventually, the Twins didn't want to trade within their division.
  5. Chris Hove
    I think it would have to be for Duran to get Painter? I don't think they would do it just for Jax. I could be wrong though. This team control thing has me contemplating things.
  6. Chris Hove
    Agreed, probably can't get Painter, and Tait isn't MLB ready
  7. Chris Hove
    Jeffers is being mentioned in trades, but not much steam on him yet. Twins might make a trade for a catcher before getting rid of Jeffers in another trade?
  8. Chris Hove
    Who would you want from the Phillies?
  9. Chris Hove
    Festa to the IL with right shoulder inflammation Travis Adams called up

    Hayes now corrected what he said in a tweet, saying Keaschall wasn't involved. So credible or not, he's likely not being mentioned, but the first part was correct.
  11. Chris Hove
    Dan Hayes from the Athletic was on the Foul Territory podcast. The White Sox wanted to discuss trades involving Jenkins, Rodriguez, and Brooks Lee, but the Twins quickly shot that down. Then Keaschall was mentioned, but neither team wanted to trade within the division.

    I just read a post from a credible source about the Twins offering Keaschall in trades. This has me very intrigued now.
  14. Chris Hove
    I like it, although it is doubtful, but I love the fits for each team involved.
  15. Chris Hove
    God, we need a good Paddack start. It's been a while. His July ERA is 7.80 yikes. Win the series and go back home!!!!
  16. Chris Hove
    We will see which Glasnow shows up today. He's been effective so far this season.
  17. Chris Hove
    Especially in this situation, usually the Twins are on the other end. Hope they use their leverage wisely.
  18. Chris Hove
    I hope so, but who knows? I would want Ferris or Rushing if that's the case. It just seems like the Twins always get screwed in trades or never really get maximum value.
  19. Chris Hove
    I don't think the Twins should trade either one, but the team control has huge benefits for any team trying to get Jax or Duran. I love that the Twins are using their leverage to ask for top prospects. If they do trade them, IMO I would want Jackson Ferris and/or Daulton Rushing. Should be interesting!!!!
  20. Chris Hove
    I like the Twins using their leverage, but I don't see them swiping a top 100 prospect for a reliever. The team control could be a determining factor here. Stay tuned.......

    I agree about dealing off the expiring hitter contracts, but I want to keep Jax, Varland, and Duran for the future. I also agree that the Twins have guys they can plug in if Castro, France, or even Vazquez gets traded. Insert Keaschall, Martin, and Gasper. My biggest question is, do you make a trade to make a trade and see what you have in the young guys? I don't think there's much value in our hitters compared to the pitchers being mentioned. Also, what are we expecting back for a Castro trade? It all depends on how we value our players and what we think they're worth.
  22. Chris Hove
    It's tough to compare right now because of the difference in competition, but Gonzalez has only made one error since arriving in Wichita. He's a career .302 hitter in the minors with almost 1,800 at-bats, but like I said, it's hard to evaluate a guy's true potential in Double-A compared to an MLB player. That's why I said profile. Gladden was and will be a better base stealer, but I don't think Gonzalez has really relied on that aspect too much due to injuries.
  23. Chris Hove
    I say keep Ryan, Jax, and Duran. We have seen the game go fewer innings with starting pitching and more usage of bullpen arms. Keeping Jax and Duran to go with Varland as well would still be a dangerous bullpen for next year, and you wouldn't have to rely as much on good starting pitching. They all appear to be due for arbitration, which doesn't bode well for Twins fans. The bullpen is their strength right now; I might want to keep it intact for the next few years. I think they should consider trading Coulumbe, Sands, and/or Stewart to see what's available. Probably not a great return, but it's worth seeing. Sands and Stewart can be easily replaced, and Coulumbe has been great, but he's more of a situational pitcher. I wouldn't think Bader or Castro would get an A or B-level prospect back in return, but it's worth seeing what you can get for them as well.

    To me, his profile bears a strong resemblance to Dan Gladden, with a few notable differences. They both are corner outfielders; they both are good contact gap hitters, and both of them were good fielders. I think Gonzalez has the edge in fielding and arm strength. Gladden was a great base stealer, and I think Gonzalez can be too with a different approach. His injuries have significantly hindered his progress in the SB department, and as a result, he has adjusted his approach. Neither player hit a lot of home runs, but Gladden went on to have a great career and was pivotal in the Twins winning the 91 World Series. I think Gabby could become a player like that. The power will be an issue for him, but I hope to see more at-bats and a healthier Gonzalez to realize his potential fully. Also, free swinger or not, he has a 9.8K% rate, which would be the best in the league if he had enough at-bats, and considerably lower than last year and this year in High-A. His BB% is also higher. I'm still in on him to make an impact, but not all-star potential. The guy is 21, can't give up yet IMO.
