    Kinsler will not waive his no trade clause without getting a couple years added on to his current deal. He will also be 35 this upcoming year and teams are finally waking up and using some common sense when it comes to contract length to players in their mid 30's. If JDL and Alvarez are on the table beg for a small 3rd piece and get it done!

    The Cards would like to dump him on the Twins in a Dozier deal. Maybe a change of scenery could turn him around.

    I hope that is not what we have to look forward to at a few of the positions. Sano will be the DH by 2019 and if Eddie Rosario doesn't bounce back in 2017 I am not sure if it's not time to move on.

    The future is always bright when you get close to rock bottom. Sorry, I only have faith in Ervin Santana in this rotation.

    The next step after hopefully finalizing a deal with the Dodgers is to shore up the defense. Jason Castro will be helpful to the pitchers having a catcher that can frame a pitch. Sadly the defense was not very helpful to the pitchers. This will take a few years and cannot be expected to fixed over night.

    Change #4 to a legit 3rd outfielder. As much as I have always liked Eddie Rosario he doesn't seem like the right fit. He still needs much more work to become a starter for a good team. If he could show some discipline at the plate and raise his OBP he could be that guy. When it takes 7 years of playing professionally to draw 209 career walks something has to change. The worst part he hasn't broke 20 hr's since his early minor league years.

    Yankees just signed Chapman to a 5 year deal for $86 million.

    Didn't the Twins trade rule 5 picks with the Marlin's and that's how the Twins got Johan Santana?
  9. darin617
    Besides him be a high school player the Twins "were" well known for slowly promoting players. Hopefully the new brain trust is a touch more aggressive. But it would not take much.
  10. darin617
    I am guessing that he might be available in the minor league part of the draft. If that is correct he would not take a 40 man roster spot.

    So trade for a lefty in Pomeranz who for the first time in his career pitched more than 100 innings(170 2/3) and then trade Ervin Santana for prospects? What do you gain besides saving a little money and hoping that it works out in the end? Sorry, I am not drinking that kool-aid.
  12. darin617
    What about the offense production? No way Polanco is going to hit for the power numbers Dozier has put up as a Twin.
  13. darin617
    I don't know why Brian Dozier's agent would be involved in trade talks. Dozier is under contract for 2 more years and it would make zero sense that his agent would have anything to do with a trade. There is not a no trade clause or anything that would involve an agent in the trade talks.
  14. darin617
    Also, if they would sign him then both Park & Vargas would be in Rochester unless they are dealt.
  15. darin617
    yes
  16. darin617
    Not to be the dealer of bad news, those stats are against Twins pitching...
  17. darin617
    NO! The Twins are in no way close to contenting that they would even bother talking to his agent. The Twins are just one of the teams in the AL that have their 1st round pick protected.
  18. darin617
    isn't that what you would call a smoke screen? why would the Yankee's want to tell everyone they are interested and drive up the price if they were "in" on Dozier? If NYY are smart they would say any leaks that we discussed Dozier means they are out. Is it just me or does this smell of the Yohan Santana trade talks back when we kept hearing all these big names from Boston & the Yankees being tossed around only to walk away and the Mets came in and made a deal.
  19. darin617
    I beg to differ, the Twins don't have to trade Dozier buy right now he will have his highest trade value. Dodgers could just add a player like Brandon Phillips for a fraction of the price. The Twins need to start a rebuild this off season and sadly Dozier has the best value in return.
  20. darin617
    It is a good signing if you plan on contending soon. Does anyone see this team contending in 3 years? I am a dire hard fan but I don't see this turning around that soon.
  21. darin617
    For a team that is clearly rebuilding is this smart to sign a catcher for this type of money over 3 years? Wouldn't you think Mitch Garver should be ready to take over in 2018 at least if not sooner?
  22. darin617
    Holy crap this is gonna be a real challenge for Trevor May. Trying to become a lefty now? Can this club ask for more out of him than that?>
  23. darin617
    I could only see signing a decent new if he is not getting much interest in the market and then of course flip in July for prospects. Kind of like Atlanta has done lately.
  24. darin617
    How about not worrying about the 9th inning and focus on innings 1-7. Having a shut down closer like Chapman is a waste if you cannot get him the ball with the lead. I am aware the market is thin for starters this year but please set it up where the Twins could be better in 2-3 years.
  25. darin617
    I would have like to see the Twins get Jason McLeod. I hope this was a bring in the best candidate for the job or that he was the cheapest to hire on the short list of candidates. These are the few jobs where over paying to get the best is never a bad thing. They control our beloved Minnesota Twins future. I can't wait for 2019 to start winning divisions again.
