    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.
  2. darin617
    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.
  5. darin617
    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.
  7. darin617
    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.
  8. darin617
    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.
  9. darin617
    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.
  10. darin617
    His bat isn't good enough in a couple of years as a DH and who's to say he could play first?
  11. 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?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. darin617
    He should be begging them to move him to playing first base.
  15. 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.
  16. darin617
    Very short window to see what he could do. At least he can play infield and outfield.
  17. darin617
    I feel the reason for Gonzalez and Mendez to be kept is that they both bat right handed and the team is loaded with left handed bats.
  18. darin617
    Any reason why the 60 day IL guys aren't listed in the locked category? The need to be added to the roster and can't be on the 60 day IL until the season starts.
  19. darin617
    They tried that with Larnach last season and were stuck with him. I would give Lewis another shot since he was drafted so high and you can't just give up on him without giving it another shot. I throw Ober to the curb since even if they could find a trade partner the return is just a lottery ticket. It's not worth it and put that money towards a legit closer.
  20. darin617
    I Would easily keep Kremer over Ober. If they can work with Kremer more he could be even more effective than last year. It seemed like he had a bad inning every so often and they didn't know how to work him out of it. Let him work with the catchers hopefully a full spring training and it could be very helpful.
  21. darin617
    How do you predict a rotation 2 years in advance with 4 of them able to be free agents after 2027. I would trade Joe Ryan regardless asap. Ober most likely wouldn't have any trade value right now so I would not tender him a contract. I would like to see more from Dean Kremer before extending him. I would be interested in extending Pablo if he was open to it.
  22. darin617
    I know Giancarlo Stanton is not the player he once was when he was in his prime. The Twins could use a right handed power bat at DH. They also need a right handed bat with Jeffers being a free agent and Buxton coming back from his back surgery. The only problem is Giancarlo Stanton has a no Trade clause. The Marlins are still paying 10m and his remaining contract is 15m. There's also a chance the Yankees could simply release him. I would offer them a prospect around #25 with the Yankees eating 5-10m. If they could get him for 5m it would be a low risk high reward Trade. If he doesn't work out they could release him in mid May or June if he struggles.
  23. darin617
    I would rather put Clemens at first. So who do you have playing second when Houston comes up?
  24. darin617
    First base would be the only infield position that would up for debate. Kody Clemens has done enough to be the full-time second baseman. When Houston makes it to the majors they could slide KC to second and Clemens could go to first or back to a super utility role.
  25. darin617
    So he starts the season in St Paul and after we lose at least 1 month due to the lockout he will be ready to make the Twins opening day roster.
