Would the Twins Be Better Off Trading Royce Lewis?

Out of all the positions, I think 1B is the one that seems to be his best. Just be the eye test. He is not quite the athlete he used to be because of injury, but he is still a pretty athletic first baseman. We really don't have anyone knocking on the door for that spot. Stick him at first for a full year and see how that goes. Having an off-season to prepare for that position might make him a better overall hitter. Develop a plan stick to hit for a full season and see whether he can have salvage his career. -
I think exploring a trade for Ryan should be done regardless of whether we think we are in contention or not. Every move should be about acquiring talent that will help next year and selling players that will not be here. That doesn't mean you are not concerned with this year, it just means I am not trading for rentals and I am not getting rid of players that can be a big piece for next year. Personally, I would love to keep Joe. Putting a rotation of Pablo, Joe, Taj, Mick, and Conner could be really good next year. The bullpen has gotten some pieces that may stick and you could possibly add Zebby to that mix. Jenkins and Culpepper will give added youth and athleticism. A good mixture of youth and experience would give this group a chance to compete at a higher level next year.
