    Is it a service time thing where keeping him in AAA means they get his age 32 season? Otherwise, I agree, it makes no sense to trade Brock Stewart for someone you think is worse than Dashawn Keirsey.
  2. DJL44
    A better analogy. You purchased a home for $108M but forgot to insure it and it burned to the ground. The lot is worth $30M. Some rich guy from Houston offers to buy it for $75M. Do you tell him no?
  3. DJL44
    How so? France doesn't make any money. They will replace him with someone making league minimum and save a whopping $60,000 for the rest of the season. France was included because the Blue Jays wanted him.

    The Varland deal brought back the next highest rated prospects after the Duran deal. They're thinking they replaced Larnach with Roden and brought in a starting pitcher with Rojas. I don't understand why they traded Stewart for Outman, especially since they sent Outman to AAA.
  5. DJL44
    Added to 40 man James Outman, OF Alan Roden, OF Taj Bradley, RHP Mick Abel, RHP If I count right, the roster has 35 players (5 openings).

    They added catching and pitching, especially lefthanded pitching. Both of those were desperate needs for the Twins organization. They saved a lot of money. Adding it up I get $75M (Correa) $4.7M (Paddack and Dobnak) $3M (Bader) $2.1M (Castro) $1.3M (Duran) $1M (Coulombe) $0.8 (Jax) ---------- Total is $88M; $13M is avoided spending from this season.

    The next round of prospect voting should be a blast. Here's how MLB.com slots in the new acquisitions 4) Tait (for Duran) 6) Abel (for Duran) 7) Rojas (for Varland, ranks ahead of Dasan Hill) 16) Gallagher (for Castro, ahead of Charlee Soto) 20) Mendez (for Bader) 24) Jimenez (for Paddack) Not ranked - OF Alan Roden, RHP Geremy Villoria, LHP Garrett Horn, RHP Sam Armstrong, RHP Mike Mikulski MLB players - Outman, Bradley

    Buxton's still on the IL. Keaschall isn't done with his rehab. My guess at tomorrow's roster OF - Larnach, Outman, Wallner (Martin, Keirsey) IF - Lewis, Lee, Julien, Clemens (Gasper, Fitzgerald) C - Jeffers (Vazquez) SP - Ryan, Ober, SWR, Matthews, Bradley RP - Sands, Topa, Tonkin, Funderburk, Davis, ???, ???, ??? Roden could replace Martin, though that would make everyone in the outfield LHB.
  9. DJL44
    Why? They're tanking.
  10. DJL44
    That's funny, because his bat doesn't play at 3B.
  11. DJL44
    At least Varland was traded for prospects. I do not understand trading Stewart for Outman at all.
  12. DJL44
    Julien should be up immediately.
  13. DJL44
    The rest of this season is completely irrelevant.
  14. DJL44
    It has to be a cold shower for Vazquez to realize no good team wants him.
  15. DJL44
    Ty France makes $1M this season. That's barely more than league minimum.
  16. DJL44
    Putting words in my mouth. I never said that. I said they moved a bunch of dead money with Correa's trade. That deal had at least $75M of dead money and they only had to pay down $33M. They were looking forward to 2027 with Correa playing the Ty France role as a good fielding 1B who doesn't hit for power.
  17. DJL44
    One question - why do the Blue Jays want Ty France?
  18. DJL44
    He has a WAR of 0.1. Nearly everyone has been better than Correa this year.
  19. DJL44
    It's a good thing they traded Correa, then. He wasn't one of their 5 best players anymore. He wasn't one of their 20 best players this season.
  20. DJL44
    I think they could have done better than this in the offseason, especially if Jax had done well as a closer for the last two months. Taj Bradley isn't chopped liver, but he also isn't "two top 100 prospects".
  21. DJL44
    The Twins are a 4th place team. Paying Carlos Correa a bunch of money to play for a 4th place team has no value. The Twins were going to pay him $44M before they had a chance to be relevant again in 2027 (a completely sunk cost) and who knows if Correa will still be playable in 2027. The Astros were basically the only team who wanted him and they overpaid despite having leverage. It's actually amazing the Twins pulled this one off.
  22. DJL44
    This is a weird trade. I expected them to build Varland up as the closer and trade him after he had that reputation. It is sad/funny that absolutely no other team in baseball wants Christian Vazquez. I'm actually a little surprised they didn't trade Jeffers, maybe he gets an extension in the offseason.

  24. DJL44
    A bad lefthanded pitcher and future bar trivia question
  25. DJL44
    So, the Twins were effectively going to eat $12M for Carlos to pay for a 4th place team this year and another $32M to play for a non-contender next season as well. They only ate $33M, that's actually a really good deal for the Twins. The Astros valued him like a $25M/season player and he's been playing like a $10M/season player.
