    The Angels needed to trade Ohtani at the deadline to have any hope in the near future. They desperately need a rebuild and their best veteran trade asset according to MLB trade values is Jose Quijada. Their roster looks like an expansion team - old vets past their prime and young players brought up too soon out of desperation.

    I don't think it's risky at all. I think it's risky to keep him. He's stretched defensively at 2B (which is Julien's real weakness). Multiple people here don't trust that he could transition to 1B. As a DH he's pretty mediocre and the Twins aren't hurting for DH options. Second base is not that hard to fill. They can keep Polanco and Farmer one more season (which only costs money) and transition to Lee.

    One fun consequence for the Angels is they lost 5 players the day before rosters expanded which means they need to fill seven spots on the 28 man roster for tonight's game.

    Good news that they want to use Varland in the bullpen in September.

    I have no confidence Alcala will be good if he returns. He doesn't have a strong track record of success.
  6. DJL44
    28 games to go. Still, the same point stands.
  7. DJL44
    The easiest fix is to allow the team losing players to negotiate with every team that claimed them. If six teams claim someone then they can bid against each other. Bring back the waiver trade deadline.
  8. DJL44
    Rooting for Giolito to continue his August pitching performance into September.
  9. DJL44
    The Reds almost certainly had claims on all 3 as well. The Twins were 4th in line on the relievers. Time to move Varland into the bullpen for September.
  10. DJL44
    All of those are possible. The team can keep or outright the player to the minors. The player can refuse the outright assignment if they have enough service time (these guys all have enough service time).

    Minnesota offers almost nothing for endorsements and Ohtani is the most marketable player in MLB. If he comes to MN he will be leaving at least $200M in endorsement money on the table.

    You don't understand the rules. The team with the worst record always has priority.

    On MILB.tv. This weekend's games are over the air broadcast.

    Lee won't be added to the 40 man roster until they want him starting for the Twins.
  15. DJL44
    BTW - why isn't Gallo on this list? Worst case he passes through and they keep him on the roster. Best case they dump him on a different playoff team and he hurts their offense as much as he hurts the Twins.
  16. DJL44
    Worst case scenario they decide to spend $3M and get all of them. They could add 5-6 players and really give the Twins fits. Fortunately I think their ownership is too cheap to make that move.
  17. DJL44
    Expanding on that, the Marlins are currently using Jorge Lopez and don't really have a 5th starter but they do have 3 decent lefties in the bullpen. Reynaldo Lopez will not get past them. The Reds wanted Giolito at the deadline and would probably be glad to dump Ben Lively from the rotation. Their bullpen has been decent but they could really use a lefty. Moore will not get past here. Their OF is very lefthanded and they could upgrade on Stuart Fairchild as the RH platoon bat. Grichuk is a natural fit here, especially since I think some of his salary is paid by the Rockies. The Guardians might claim some players just to keep them off the Twins. They're not completely out of it yet. The Twins are going to be left with Renfroe, Cisnero and Carrasco to pick from. No, thanks.
  18. DJL44
    How pissed are Twins fans going to be if the Guardians get all the relievers?
  19. DJL44
    I'm not sure which players would actually get past both Miami and Cincinnati
  20. DJL44
    No, he's still playing better than putting Farmer there every day.
  21. DJL44
    If they have long term value they're not likely to make it to the Twins on waivers. Entirely possible the Reds or Marlins lose a player to Oakland or Kansas City as part of this process. Low hanging fruit on the Marlins roster is probably Jorge Lopez. Don't want him back.
  22. DJL44
    Put the injured player on the 60 day IL.
  23. DJL44
    The Twins could do that pretty easily. Grab two players, cut Gallo and Luplow. When Kirilloff and Buxton return, cut those two players you just grabbed off waivers. I think the salaries would be more of a deterrent than the 40 man roster slots.
  24. DJL44
    They had a waiver trade deadline before. I think we will see that come back in some form.

    Forest Lake kids are good at wearing pitches; boys and girls. If they don't take the HBP you're likely to hear a parent call out "we've got ice".
