    At this point, I don't see why not give him a chance. I know the team is still attempting to stay in the wild card running, but adding some variety into the mix could end up being a spark the team is missing to get there. And I wouldn't be too worried about defense considering the twins have already demonstrated they can somehow turn guys into solid defensive first basemen.

    This is actually the second time they've done this. I think last year they did this too, he went to the Angels but I don't think he ever actually played a game due to injury before signing back with the twins. Have a feeling we could end up seeing the same result again even if it leads to a 3rd time going through this process.

    maybe hill stalling a bit in Cedar Rapids made the front office think he's got a lot more to go before he'll really make an impact and want to see if they can get something good now before the likelihood of falling off in Wichita

    Dasan Hill, John Klein and Dameury Pena are the return the Jays are getting. Jays getting a solid haul in thsi deal, hope Hoffman got over his world series bomb!

    I've reached the point where I don't think the bullpen is as big of a priority anymore in the deadline even as buyers. The clear need is a consistent starter as more starting depth gets injured or has some level of uncertainty at this moment in time. Trading for a mid-rotation type would probably be the move I'd prioritize if they're trying to make a postseason push.

    would make sense if the Mets are going to go sell mode, but at the same time, I think the spots twins have the most enticing pieces to trade away like outfield prospects are kind of locked up in New York for a long time

    Have to wonder if the Paredes injury has anything to do with how they stretched him out this week, throwing two different games with 3-4 innings with only 2 days rest?
  8. mrguy
    good win, but you know the rotation is getting too shaky at the worst time when now your depth call ups are injured... hope it's not a significant amount of time lost for Paredes, especially with the trade deadline looming, who knows what the rotation will look like by next week
  9. mrguy
    has gomez gotten enough cred to get a cool walk out yet?
  10. mrguy
    obviously, still a longshot to say the twins should be buyers, but if they trend towards it. I'd agree there.
  11. mrguy
    the twins bullpen is actually good now, in the universe they might be buyers, i don't even think the reliever market is as necessary of a priority anymore
  12. mrguy
    Paredes apparently scratched for a left oblique strain, idk, sounds like setting up the IL move for when Sands or Prielipp is activated tomorrow
  13. mrguy
    Actually it will turn out that Paredes was all that was needed to trade for Skubal and Mason Miller and Trout at the same time. A Zoll masterclass

    I think this would be a more debatable decision if the twins were buyers where I do think they have lots of guys in the minors that could get a decent player, but with the potential this season is heading in it would raise other questions. Lots of teams like the idea of near major league level talent and a large amount of the twins' top prospects are in high minors, so they have lots of guys that in theory would be contributing within the next year or two. In a buyer's market, I'd say that's a very useful thing to be willing to part with if they were. And on the other hand, with the positions those players play, you could also justifiably pivot to selling the major league players in those positions if you envision those guys coming up within the next year. You also have the obvious elephant in the room of the multiple catching prospects joining and rising in the system, so in a seller's market, it almost seems like a no brainer that someone like Jeffers could be worth trading. So like it has kind of looked like heading into the all star break, I think they are in a spot where they could realistically work in either direction and it really just comes down to how the team itself realistically views the remainder of the season going, and a week ago it didn't look as obvious which way it could go, but I'd rather they commit one way or the other sooner before fans get too shaky watching them float around .500 for the next week

    it was a pretty questionable overpay by the twins even then. you'd think ty france would've been enough
  16. mrguy
    Bradley is an objective improvement over Jax, the jury on Abel is still out depending on how he will do when he's back and whether Tait actually grows into something, and the only way I'd say the twins were wrong to get a guy like Rojas is more in the sense that it cost Louis Varland to get him but if the trade had JUST been Ty France, I would pretty reliably call that trade a win.
  17. mrguy
    Roden had a moment, that has to count for something! And he at least came with Rojas who will be a more reliable contributor. But the Outman/Stewart trade was not really a win for either team if we're being real here.
  18. mrguy
    Only a few of the guys they traded were actually "major league level" players at the time of the trade. Expecting every player received in a trade to immediately be contributing at the big league level kind of misses the goal of what a sell is actually supposed to do. The fact that even 4 of those players have already in some level played a role in the big league club is proof that these were good evaluations of talent with the only real debate being if it was worth dropping the guy they did for them.
  19. mrguy
    letting him go for a 3rd inning when he didn't have his best stuff today was definitely pushing it, Rojas had a much shorter leash than he did.
  20. mrguy
    Double steal had me nervous, but hopefully this is a double play
  21. mrguy
    not the greatest outing for paredes so far, but he's been able to escape these jams and keep the game tied
  22. mrguy
    just not a very competitive inning there
  23. mrguy
    quick GIDP, still a winnable game at this point, just gotta make something happen
  24. mrguy
    at least they only used Fundy, Go, and Nance. Tomorrow, hopefully they'll only need Rojas and Paredes with one more guy to lock it down at the end
  25. mrguy
    As expected, the twins bullpen has began trending upward now that we've ended the era of running guys like Lawrence, Orze, and who else we hopefully won't have to think about anymore and started letting younger options carve out their own roles. While I still like some of them as starter options, it's still better they get the opportunities in that relief role. If we had a more rock solid starting rotation, this pitching staff would be very nice.
