    Do you really think the Yankees had an issue with the $1.5M left on Randy Dobnak’s contract? That money doesn’t count toward luxury tax calculations since he’s off the 40-man roster.
  2. DJL44
    He may fool people for a while until the scouting reports catch up, then he will get pounded and head back to AAA to make adjustments and improvements. However, that is the most productive use of MLB playing time for the final two months of this season.
  3. DJL44
    Sell at the deadline, buy in the offseason.
  4. DJL44
    Their playoff odds were less than 10% at the All-Star break. This team has been mostly bad since last August. Success after the break was the least likely scenario.
  5. DJL44
    Prielipp and CJ Culpepper could be worth trying in relief. There is plenty of room on the 40-man. Easy to cut Keirsey, Fitzgerald, Gillispie, Davis, Misiewicz, Miranda, and McCusker. Plus 6-8 major leaguers should be leaving soon. That's 10-15 spots available for new prospects.
  6. DJL44
    It's going to strain their resources to deal 6 players in a matter of days. Better to wait until the offseason to address the rest of the roster. Plus, what playoff team would have any interest in Wallner, Lee or Ober based on how they have performed this season? On the list above, I certainly hope they find a buyer for Paddack. He has real value as a 5th starter for a playoff team and as a reliever on their playoff roster. I would rank him as #4 in most likely to be traded.

    You sell at the deadline and buy in the offseason. Prices are lower in the offseason because supply is higher.
  8. DJL44
    You think replacing the major league team with a AAA team with a losing record will help them win? That is a terrific example of the backup QB fallacy.
  9. DJL44
    This upcoming week will be the most consequential of the entire season.
  10. DJL44
    Glad I took the boat out instead.

    They should be more than willing to eat $15M of the remaining $115M. That's essentially what they'll do just by paying him the rest of the season to play for a non-contender. Correa is playing like a $10M player while drawing a $32M salary 2026-28. Ironically, that makes him more valuable in trade as time passes. Today he has a value of -$60M, next season at the deadline it will only be -$40M. By the end of 2028 they should be able to trade him for a prospect.
  12. DJL44
    What happens the rest of this season is irrelevant. They're not a contender. The rest of this season should be about developing players for the 2026 team. Which is weird. If he sincerely believes the players are underperfoming to the point where a 90 win team is playing at a 78 win pace, then he should fire Rocco.
  13. DJL44
    Two years of additional team control aren't worth much for Stewart. He's 33 and has an extensive injury history. I'm not confident he makes it through the rest of this season without another trip to the IL. Like everyone else on the team, he has zero value for the Twins for the remainder of 2025. Stewart is also the worst on the team at controlling the running game, which makes his pitching stats less valuable than they appear on paper. I think they're better off finding a trade partner. It will be quite disappointing if Stewart is still a Twin on August 1st.
  14. DJL44
    This is how a team plays when nobody cares about winning. Keeping the expiring contract veterans would be toxic. At least rookies have something to play for besides their next contract. Playing for a contract means you're only going to do the things that show up in the stat sheet.
  15. DJL44
    I hope that means the Twins have a better bid in hand than what the Yankees were willing to offer.
  16. DJL44
    He is probably the best free agent signing of the Falvey era.
  17. DJL44
    Who is the top of the market right now? Is Suarez the guy who has to move before Castro gets dealt? I think Bader will move after Mullins and possibly Laureano. Coulombe might be the #1 LHRP. Paddack should find a buyer but I'm not sure the Twins will find one for France or Vazquez.
  18. DJL44
    I think every playoff team can fit Willi Castro onto their roster and onto their payroll. His versatility and relatively low salary make him a valuable addition.
  19. DJL44
    Buy those in the offseason.
  20. DJL44
    For 3 months of Castro? Yes, they have prospects that are worth that much.
  21. DJL44
    Many of the Saints have cooled off in July (except Julien).
  22. DJL44
    Brooks Lee is slower and on the team right now.
  23. DJL44
    What you're really getting at is whether the new owner should be able to decide that they want to try to win in 2026 and 2027. I think that is why the Twins are asking such a high price for Duran and Jax. They want a trade that any GM would make under any circumstances.
  24. DJL44
    mlbtraderumors posted about Yankees interest in Willi Castro. I imagine they aren't the only ones.
  25. DJL44
    Gonzalez and Culpepper are ready now.
