"Falvey" should be replaced by "ownership" here for sure.....
As to the OP and the series. A: The articles are NOT concluding that players should be traded. This idea that there is some zeal for trading all the good players shows people don't actually read what is posted. B: I'd deal him for the right package, and I 100% deal him if they deal Lopez or CC and punt (which is what that would mean). I want Teel or a RH hitting OF/1B in return.
I think I agree with this.
However, if they are NOT going to try to contend (say they deal Lopez or CC), then they should just deal everyone, including Castro.
I want Preillip in the pen this year. Get value. If he's healthy, he can be stretched out next year. It's not like he's pitching a ton of innings this year
He's either really good next year, and needs to be protected, or he's ok and doesn't. Either way he's likely to be a Twin after next year
I won't worry about him, as he was hurt last year. Let's see how he is when healthy.
I'd move prielipp to RP for at least this year. If he survives and they want to stretch him out, they can the following year. He's not likely to pitch many innings this year
He is subject to the spending limits, due to his age. So, that does matter. However, he knows he's giving up ridiculous money by not waiting two more years, so he's going to want lots of endorsement money. He'll be a dodger
Do we really think anything Falvey does will dramatically change revenue this year? The TV deal is done. The payroll is going down a bit or a lot. I'm not sure what he could even do to change revenue much this year.
