Interesting idea. I'd be in favor of something like this.
-
I doubt Martin or Miranda have any value, but Martin should be replacing Castro. He'll either build value or not .... I think Julien has value and could be an add on to get more in a trade.

I think Philly would absolutely love to have him. I wonder what you can get for him and one of the second tier RPs? I'd deal him and promote Gonzalez. Let him get his feet wet this year.
-
Anthony is a hard one to understand. He wasn't drafted for to a college gambling scandal. Had issues with the fastball, but is hitting well this year. I'd flip Crawford for something else if I could, but it might be a fair deal, that fans will hate.
-
I said what we thought. You can think what you want. It's a free country. We just don't agree. I'm ok with that.
-
I mean, it is possible. He's obliterating his forecasts....but I'd be surprised. Who is their CF when Pages leaves?
-
You aren't getting Pages for a RP. He's put up more than 3 war this year and has more control left than either RP. He's a star. If that was offered, the Twins should say yes, and the Dodgers should fire their GM.
-
To be clear, I don't expect two top 100 prospects for either of them......but I'd take them. It's an interesting dance.....since Duran and Jax are known quantities, with years of control.....and the prospects are just that....but I can't see them getting two guys. It would be great if they did....
-
Never change.....
-
I'm ok with him saying that in public. It's never a great idea to rip your employees in public....I hope he's not saying that in private.

I'm not talking about what the Twins said, I'm talking about this article.......which the OP has made clear is for both of them.
-
I'm not disagreeing or not.....but I'm not dealing both of them during the year. After the year, when there are more teams buying? Maybe, but still probably not. Thanks for clearing up this was for both!
-
We'll wait for the OP to come back, but this part seems like I'm right? I could be wrong! In 2018, the Padres flipped Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to Cleveland for Francisco Mejía, a top-20 global prospect at the time. That deal saw two relievers with similar team control flipped for one high-end return. Now, the Twins may be looking to repeat history, albeit with even greater upside. So what might a two-for-two top-100 swap look like?

AL Central Bullpen Blowout Bonanza!

I doubt the Twins deal either RP. Heck, given this FO, I agree, they will try to win still, and get nothing for the expiring deals but regret. Are both teams playing the other? I don't know! But that would be funny. -
Nope, it says both....
-
Wait, this is for BOTH guys? No way. Zero. One of them? Yes, but not both. This is awful for both, truly.

Episode 54: Trade Dreadline
Mike Sixel replied to Lou Hennessy's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
If you had not stated that ranking systems only look at slash lines, this would be a great post....but come on. Most of these systems are run by former scouts...... -
Ya, I only want those guys as throw ins, or for low value veterans, generally. I mean, if the other team starts their college guys in A ball for some reason, at least there is a track record you can look at....but ya.
-
And by then he'll be almost as old as me. He better not be on the 40 man this off season....

No on the Yankees deal. Don't trust that SS to hit at all. Abel isn't even in the top 10 list for the Phillies on Fangraphs. No way I do it for him. Though I think he could be a good RP, like Varland or Jax level. So it is possible, as they NEED catcher prospects. I love the Mets deal. That return would be more than sufficient for me. More than. I likely do the Dodgers deal. I'm unsure on the Cubs deal. If they think the catcher is a catcher, yes, 100%. But I have no idea on that. They aren't dealing in the division, I'd guess. Also, the SS is having surgery on his shoulder, so no way I take that chance. edit: see below, didn't know this was for BOTH pitchers from MN.
-
My plan? Trade the expiring contracts. Other than that? I'd pretty much fire everyone at this point, but that's not what this thread is about.
-
I'm not sure, but I know keeping the expiring deals won't help them at all. At least there's a chance they get something if they do trade. They've actually done well selling, they've done less well buying.
-
The implication is that we think they were going to be allowed to spend more. We could be wrong! But I doubt this FO signs those two thinking the payroll wouldn't go up more. We were doing see well avoiding snark in this thread.....
