    The "experts" claim banning the shift will account for 10 more hits. SO that's not that huge. Of course some could get more hits.
  2. darin617
    I say not much. The Giants are still on tilt after getting lucky and losing Correa. They also overpaid for Michael Conforto who never played last year. They are just trying to do something to appease their fans.

    Boston would demand at least one prospect in the Twins top 3 prospects and a whole lot more than just "throw ins" like those 3. Besides the fact the Twins cannot trade for players with just 1 year of team control and Devers is like 26 or so and he will get a 12+ year contract after this season and most likely 35M+ a year. Teams like the Met, Dodgers, and Yankees to name a few make trades like this because they feel they have a better chance at resigning the player.

    None of the listed deals are even the best "bang for the buck" deals that happened this winter.

    Not even close for what Boston could get for Devers. Kepler & Arraez wouldn't be that attractive of trade chips for Boston. If you could merge the 2 into 1 player it would be great, A good hitting outfielder that is decent in the Outfield. Not sure why everyone thinks Arraez is so great. He is best used at DH. Then you have a DH without power. Still confused why he isn't just thrown into the leadoff spot to make the starter work right away and let everyone else see shat he's got that day. Set the table early and hope for an early run. Devers is also going to be a free agent and unless you can get a 24-48 hour window or so to try to sign a long term deal you just wasted "trade chips" for a rental. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets moved because you would have expected Boston to be trying to sign him long term now or trade him for valuable controllable players and prospects.

    I'm sure Boras called and said put up 10 years and 325 million and he's yours. The Giants dodged a bullet and Cohen is just an idiot.

    Hopefully the Twins lose their number. Way too many times they have traded away damaged goods and the other team gets burned.
  8. darin617
    That's what teams do to pitchers on the last year of the contract. No point in saving them unless you really like the guy and want him back.
  9. darin617
    If they get blown away of course they could trade either player. You also have to think of what a possible Kepler and prospects could bring back for a starter as well. Nathan Eovaldi, Jordan Lyles, Michael Wacha, and Corey Kluber out there as free agents. Not the sexiest names out there but there is potential at the right price.

    Sounds about right. Also, teams won't want to give up a draft pick to sign him to a 2-3 year deal with opt outs.
  11. darin617
    So does it matter then? If Arraez is the only one that can hit and he doesn't have power or speed he is stranded on first. Also nobody will be on base so he won't drive anyone in. And the new metrics he isn't the leadoff hitter and he should be.
  12. darin617
    Do Boras and Correa at least send the Twins a nice gift basket for making the Giants pay up?
  13. darin617
    Sale is broken and I doubt he ever comes back any where near his top form.
  14. darin617
    It would be a 2-3 year deal with opt outs. That's the route I would take if i made the choice.
  15. darin617
    As much as I like Arraez I have no issue trading a 1 trick pony for starting pitching. I never liked having a 1st basemen under 6 ft. SignTrey Mancini to a 1-2 year deal and figure out what to do about shortstop.
  16. darin617
    Who gets dumped from 40 man roster to make room?
  17. darin617
    A team can be willing to spend money but it doesn't insure that players will want to sign with the team. Unless the team is overpaying big time in years and money don't expect anything to change.
  18. darin617
    The Twins most likely are out since Boras is trying to secure a 7 year deal for a pitcher with a ton of arm issues.
  19. darin617
    Swanson wouldn't cost 250M even on a 10 year deal. Odds are he crawls back to Atlanta on a 1 year deal and tests the market next season.
  20. darin617
    Pass if the deal is over 4 years. I would rather overpay on a shorter deal. No way the Twins can give a pitcher with arm troubles a 6+ year deal.

    How will the ban of shifts affect Arraez? They always said you can shift all you want and he will find a hole. I don't like the idea of banning defensive shifts. These are supposed to be professional athletes and I feel they are either being lazy or stubborn not working in BP to breaking the shift.
  23. darin617
    Where is the simple and better option of just signing free agent Christian Vazquez? No need to waste any prospects when Vasquez is available.
  24. darin617
    Do the qualifying offer picks happen before or after?
  25. darin617
    You can't say they are on the table if you want the greatest return. if a team wants them bad enough the Brewers will obviously be open to a trade.
