Why would the Twins trade for Danny Duffy just to trade him to SD? Also, for all those clamoring to trade Tyler Duffey for Snell, Duffey hasn’t given up a run since June 12. I’m in less of a hurry to trade him away- 48 replies

Have the Futures Game as a part of the All Star festivities? -
Nope

I laughed so hard! new vocabulary word too. It’s a good day when you learn what Minnesota sushi is!

If he does, it will be the second most innings in a season of his career. I’ll gladly take that

My guess is Moran throws 50+ pitches today and gets DFA’d after the game
-
Agreed, but I don’t think Pagan is “toxic”. He’s been a bad pitcher, but haven’t heard anything about him being a bad team mate, of viewed by his team mates as a disappoint or detrimental. I hope Baldelli gets better options post haste. Until he gets them, Pagan is required to carry his portion of the work load.

They need Winder for Rotation Depth, he’s clearly a big league starter. I’d DFA Thornburg, he hasn’t pitched in a week and was the only fresh reliever last night, the manager still didn’t use him. Replace Thornburg with Sands as the long man. Just throw innings in those short start blowouts.

“Let'shope last night was the last we saw of Duran, the guy's nothing but toxic for this team.” Please tell me that’s a brain fart…

I’m with the other posters that rotation isn’t the problem and trading away the depth that makes it “not the problem” for a guy with health concerns isn’t a good idea.

I’d be thrilled to see “Nibbles” in the Twins rotation right now.

4 Veteran Players the Twins Can Trade
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Prospects are the currency of trades for contenders to trade for established major leaguers. I don’t really get where trading away established major leaguers improves a contending team.- 62 replies

Ryan Jeffers is Secretly Turning a Corner
Richie the Rally Goat replied to Matt Braun's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Good analysis, hopefully the leading indicators predict accurately -
this one does

My coffee matches my soul, black as tar and bitter as hell
-
This is fair, and no I can’t…. but per the OP there are 5 relievers on the roster pitching once every 5 games anyways, 3 innings every 5 games is better than 1 every 5 games for a workload management standpoint.
-
Agreed with the OP. I was absolutely befuddled by Soto’s call up. Also perplexed with all of the one inning relievers on the roster, and no swing man. I’d think Piggy-backing would be an ideal way to manage Archer/Bundy and the revolving AAA starters this team needs to more consistently score runs, and Kiriloff should be a key part of that
-
Doesn’t the GM make that decision?
-
Kiriloff plus Balazovic might do it. I would not want to give up Larnach. Gordon/Moran/Duffey would not be of much value to the Pirates, Duffey would probably be negative value
-
My guess is it was a part of his Covid IL activation plan with the health team.

Long ago? He was activated 4 days ago
