    That has nothing to do with my post at all. The Twins should have traded Jeffers at the deadline. The QO is just to get something in return instead of nothing.

    He's a Boras client, you offer the QO and there's no way he accepts it. The free agent market for catchers is sparce so Boras will try to take advantage of it. I could see him taking a 3 year contract for 40m before he accepts 23m for 1 year.

    Trade Ryan if they get a good offer for him. Let Ober go. Its not worth the lottery ticket if they can find a trade partner. The rotation should be fine without them both. Pablo Lopez, Taj Bradley, Dean Kremer, Conner Prielipp, and Zebby Matthews. Not a terrible rotation. I still wouldn't be against bringing in another starter.

    Doesn't Morejón want to start? I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere. It would make sense since starters earn more money.

    The Twins need to pay up for a closer, so that means a 3 year deal at least. Trading Royce Lewis is idiotic. His trade value hasn't increased. He gets 1 more year to turn it around. Trading multiple top 30 prospects is a low hanging fruit thought. If you said top 15 that would be a whole different thing. I hope they are active in trying to improve the team. There also needs to be no lockout for all of this to matter.

    Not needed at all. Kody Clemens can do the same thing for less money and better than Lowe.

    I wouldn't have a problem with Vesia as a bullpen addition. They need to swing big and go for whoever is the best free agent closer or look to trade for one. The bullpen has some good arms already but if they want to contend they need a shutdown closer.

    Vahn Lackey just entered the chat and asked what about him? I could see Lackey being ready sometime in 2028 and some might want him sooner.

    Boras doesn't sign his clients to extensions prior to free agency. That would be costing him money. Unless it was a ludicrous amount of money 95 times out of 100 Boras will wait for free agency to cash in.
  30. darin617
    His bat isn't good enough in a couple of years as a DH and who's to say he could play first?
  31. darin617
    Why would you want to give him 4 years or 5 years with Vahn Lackey and the other catching prospects a couple of years away?
  32. darin617
    My issue with Minter is his price. Unless they pay up for a legit closer I don't want them spending 10m+ for a lefty.
  33. darin617
    Parades is a very under-rated pitcher. He can start in a pinch and could be a good long option in the bullpen. With the looming lockout I highly doubt the Twins make any moves right away when free agency starts before the lock out. They could easily remove 10 players without blinking.
  34. darin617
    He should be begging them to move him to playing first base.
  35. darin617
    Pretty sure they only kept Larnach last season was to try to trade him and they failed. Even if they package a minor league player with him or Ober the return isn't worth the risk of being stuck with them at 6m+ when there are players in organization to replace them. Then they could use that money for a legit closer.
