This idea that trading one player means they can't compete for two years just blows my mind.....

They've done it twice. Why world you think they can't now?
-
This.
-
You aren't getting a top ten prospect and another top prospect for a RP. You certainly aren't getting Painter, the top pitcher in the minors. I mean, go look at the top ten..... It's not realistic.
-
That's the key. If he won't sign here, and you can get three top prospects, it's hard to say no . .....

Agreed. That's not close to what Seattle paid for what's his name a free years ago. Need at least one more highly rated prospect. I have zero interest in trading Ryan.....

Festa going to IL, Twins scoop up Fedde?
Mike Sixel replied to thelanges5's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Just call up a young guy. Stop with the bad veterans. -
Zero chance you get Painter for a RP. Zero. He's the number one pitching prospect in baseball. He's immediately a starter for must any team.

Why? Winokur will never play SS for Minnesota. Put him where he might play. This is a continuing issue for them.
-
They've signed all but two. Also, winokur should be off SS at this point. He's never going to play there in the majors. Not with Culpeper and Houston in the system. Put him in the OF or first, wherever he'll really play.

I thought you were suggest prospect for prospect....
-
Amen..
-
They need offense more than anything else, and RP. Another starter.... As everyone does. I can't see GG for another minor league player if that was your question. Those trades are super rare.
-
They'd rather have Larnach I'd guess, as they are trying to win now and need a corner OF now.
-
Someone missed your humor by a mile, or more.
-
I think he's partially struggling with playing more at 2B than the left side of the infield at this point. But that could be wrong.....

France starting against a RHP? SIgh. I just don't get it.
-
15 day, not 60.
-
I'd say outcome wise, yes, though I still think Festa has better stuff. But SWR is a number 4 / 5 pitcher and those have value.
-
Anyone giving up on a top 100 prospect after a year of ML playing is lacking in patience, and it is good they aren't a GM. To be clear, I'm not saying he's good or bad (he's not good), I'm stating that the lack of patience on this site is staggering.

And they'll likely lose them for nothing, or keep them in AAA clogging the 40 man while refusing to either trade them or play them.......that's an issue for sure.
-
One guy debuting.....and people wonder why I say they need to be more aggressive in the minors, to get guys close, so we don't have to read "they aren't even in AA or AAA yet." I agree with the OP, balancing the 26 and 40 man is not easy. That said, this team has killed itself by refusing to move on from bad veterans and clogging the 40 man, and not debuting guys to get them experience.
-
Jeffers wife is about to have a baby. They'll pull someone up (Gasper?) and need a catcher in AAA. I think that's all this is. But one can hope....
-
It's not what they love. Look at the high picks lately. But some guys have that profile, in every org. I do agree they used to draft too many guys w/o defense....for sure.
-
Ya, dealing one RP means they can't compete..... Jay Jaffe of Fangraphs things they should deal Duran....
