    1, A trade for a guy if they are in contention. Is this debatable? 2. Ya, no. They also got rid of Polanco's salary. They netted 5-8 million (I've seen different numbers). 3. Yup. And I doubt the Twins love him either. He was there to even out the money so the Twins got more prospect capital.

    They might, might, deal for a player that makes money (or at the deadline). Things I think are true: The Twins are less good now for 2024 than they were. The bullpen is better. The SP is deeper, but I'm not a fan of the new guy and have doubts. It sucks for Varland if he's in AAA, as he's losing a ton of money will in AAA. The farm is deeper. They aren't done trading. Things I like: I like the new RP I like the new prospects, and think the pitcher could move quickly if they make him a RP full time. I like the new OF..... Things I think will happen: Twins will sign an ok player. Twins will trade for a good player. It's possible for most of the thoughts on this thread to be true at the same time. Things I'm certain of: Seattle was not dealing any of their good ML SP. No way.

    Fair.....but if the front 7 isn't addressed, not even Mahomes could carry this team to the promised land.
  4. Mike Sixel
    "still" I mean, sure, if 2-3 months in AAA shows us anything much......He was in AAA less than a year from being drafted, and people say he hasn't shown anything....
  5. Mike Sixel
    They just won the division and advanced in the playoffs, and you want to fire the FO? Unreal.
  6. Mike Sixel
    DL,DL, DL They have zero good starters in the front 4-5 right now.....
  7. Mike Sixel
    Or, they got some money, a RP and will use that money to replace Polanco with someone similar, or in a position of more need? Plus two prospects....
  8. Mike Sixel
    If they spend the money well, they get a good player, a good RP, a fifth starter, a good prospect, and a flyer prospect..... I'm failing to see this as anything but good, assuming they spend the money well.
  9. Mike Sixel
    None of whom are starting pitchers in the majors.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Because gray is gone? I mean, it seems likely they won't be as good or healthy, so more bullpen arms they trust is important.
  11. Mike Sixel
    I'm struggling to figure out who they can sign or trade for, looking at the free agents and bad teams.... Twins need an OF, DH, maybe 1b..... That's bellinger, but they aren't paying that. But yes, if they reallocate that money, and get a legit player, it's hard not to like the deal.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Ya, I'm baffled anyone thinks Seattle is trading a starting pitcher. Utterly baffled..
  13. Mike Sixel
    Why do you think that last part? I don't for one minute. Why does anyone think Seattle is trading one of their good starters? That's not where they are competitively. And yes, neither are the twins, and I doubt the twins are done.
  14. Mike Sixel
    Bowen has two pitches. I'd make him a RP and promote him aggressively.
  15. Mike Sixel
    Is that arm available from a team that wants Polanco? No idea, but I'm hard pressed to find such a team right now.
  16. Mike Sixel
    You don't think SWR is a top twenty prospect? Wow.
  17. Mike Sixel
    That's my guess also.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't love this for this year, but the RP is likely more valuable than the starter. Frankly, I'd deal the starter for a PTBNL and not start him.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    A reliver, a top 100 prospect, and a flyer prospect..... What were people expecting for a guy that hasn't been healthy in several years?
  20. Mike Sixel
    Is anyone paying attention to the fact Seattle is sending millions to Minnesota before posting?
  21. Mike Sixel
    I'm not convinced they are done.... I'd guess this is part of a series of moves...
  22. Mike Sixel
    Salas is 19.... Maybe let's not decide on that yet? Otherwise,I agree with this all. I mean, Bowen could be a very good RP if they move him there full time, pretty quickly.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Well, that's an improvement on last year! I'm happier now, thanks.
  24. Mike Sixel
    Money is coming to Minnesota. The prospects are interesting, if not highly ranked last year. I was hoping for more, frankly, maybe that was a mistake.
  25. Mike Sixel
    It's almost a rounding error for the team, especially if salaries keep rising. It's life altering money, with the small risk you give up even MORE MONEY........this seems like a much better deal than the Atlanta players signed, for sure.
