    Money is way easier to recover than good prospects. I'll be VERY surprised if Rodon signs here, slightly less so if Correa does.

    The Yankees have held their SS prospects for two years now. I can't see them dealing one for Kepler. Volpe is the 10th rated prospect in all of baseball, by Fangraphs......ya, no chance. I'd guess you can get someone else in the 5-10 range on their list. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2022-in-season-prospect-list/summary?sort=-1,1&team=nyy

    I think he'd move Tatis for that. Gives them room to sign the guys they really want.
  4. Mike Sixel
    None of those pitchers got the twins anywhere last year. By your logic, they aren't worth signing. Ohtani didn't carry the Angels to the playoffs..... You don't think he's worth signing next year? I don't really understand the logic in saying player X was not good enough to carry a team, so he's not worth signing.
  5. Mike Sixel
    Why? Just go with Farmer. He's better.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Spend a lot more money.
  7. Mike Sixel
    Trading Kepler is what the Rays would do at this point.....
  8. Mike Sixel
    Agreed
  9. Mike Sixel
    And he's hurt a lot, not what you want in Buxton insurance.
  10. Mike Sixel
    Lewis moves to left and center when Buxton is hurt. Lee plays third or second or right field. Miranda moves to DH or first. They aren't close to having a logjam. Or, one of them is dealt as part of a deal for a very good pitcher.

    I'm not sure what the As are doing, other than trying to have the lowest payroll.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Everything I read online says Oakland got nothing. A bunch of backups with low ceilings. We'll see in a couple years, but it's hard to imagine they couldn't get one great prospect.
  13. Mike Sixel
    100% this
  14. Mike Sixel
    This likely is true.

    My 18th birthday....

    Given that refused to pay their last three stars, no. Perhaps the richest owners in the game, not spending.
  17. Mike Sixel
    How many rookies do you expect to come and help each year? Realistically help? Ryan was a number three starter. Duran? Best RP in the game, maybe. Varland filled in admirably, as did Wallner. Lewis looked legit before getting hurt. Oh, and Miranda was very good. Larnach and Kiriloff got hurt. I think all but AK were rookies last year. Then you have Arraez and Gordon and Jeffers, who were rookies the year before or the one before that. This is one of the younger teams in the game..... I just don't see how we can argue that there is no help coming up at all. Next year? Hopefully a healthy Lewis, Wallner, SWR are likely to see time. Lee might. That doesn't count any RPs like Enlow or Winder, for example.
  18. Mike Sixel
    I'd love to have another #2 starter. I can't see how that would be bad. I get there are doubters, but people seem higher on a Marlins' pitcher that was worse last year.
  19. Mike Sixel
    I doubt Miami wants someone as old as Kepler back right now.....but I could be wrong.
  20. Mike Sixel
    You can be good at fundamentals, and still make mistakes.....I think, and this is just me, sometimes we forget that.
  21. Mike Sixel
    To quote myself, I'm guessing they have 8 fundamentally sound OFers in the system, but not all 8 were ready for the majors last year by the end of the year. Who saw Wallner in MN last year, when the year started? No one.
  22. Mike Sixel
    At points last year they started 3 OFer in games, none of whom were in the top 5 or 6 options at the beginning of the year. That's going to lead to some issues for sure.....It's hard to picture any team outside the BEST team, having 8 fundamentally sound, good, OFers ready for the majors at any one time.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Like Ryan and Varland and Ober? Like Duran? Like Arraez? Like Gordon, who is finally showing something? Like Wallner? Or Larnach (before getting hurt)? Fangraphs has MN 18th in rankings. Yes, they are down, but then, they dealt for Gray, was that bad? Would you rather they not have Gray right now? I get that Mahle got hurt, sucks for sure.....Also, the Twins made the playoffs in 19 and 20, kind of hurt their draft position.....But the idea the system is a barren wasteland, as some have stated, just isn't true. If Lewis is finally healthy and a few others are what some here think they are, I think people will be very happy in a couple years.
  24. Mike Sixel
    They signed CC and traded for at least four pitchers last year.....I'm baffled anyone thinks last year was a half measure. Utterly baffled. I do agree that they should be going for it this year, given the status of their pitchers and FA......but it takes two to tango, as they say. They might try very hard, but even Aaron Judge only succeeds 30 some percent of the time....Not that I'm going to give them a pass. If they strike out on the top guys, they better still improve in other ways. As for attendance, that is largely correlated to the previous year. Well, we all know how the previous year went.... If the Twins are winning and the news stops portraying downtown as a hell hole, people will come.
  25. Mike Sixel
    Agreed, but there may be good reasons. I'd want a couple good prospects that I can include in a package for another player, like a legit starting pitcher or RH OF.... Though I have no idea which OF are available. Or catcher.
