So if new ownership is going to come in and spend big, wouldn't it make sense to keep good players and pay them vs getting some prospects that hit 250 in the minors? Batting 250 in the minors translates to the majors as swinging for the seats, striking out a bunch, and once in a while getting on base. I'm 57 and quite certain I will never see the Twins in the playoffs again, absolute joke.

So the Phillies gave up two dudes for one of the best closers in the game. Two "top" prospects consisting of a catcher in High A hitting .251 and some pitcher. Since when did hitting 250 in the minor leagues make you a great prospect. I don't care if he throws out everybody stealing, batting 250 in the minors is like taking your sister to prom. What an absolute false!
