    Welcome!

    Yes, but if you take Dave's source at his word (again I'm not picking on Dave), a deal was imminent within 24 hours and that was last week. Sorry, I just don't buy it. To me that screams impasse or shelved deal, because the two side can't agree to agree to a deal if you know what i mean.

    My opinion is that it's not happening. Dodgers have made their final offer (according to Dave) and the Twins FO does not feel inclined to deal Dozier based on the current return. That's not to say it won't happen because anything is possible, but as it currently stands highly unlikely. I believe they weren't "wowed" by the Dodgers trade offer nor were they able to convince them to give up that third or fourth prospect to seal the deal. Sounds like dead in it's tracks if you ask me. If there is no news by the end of the week you can almost book it that this deal is dead. Time to move on and get ready for spring training.

    I think the pain in selling Santiago and Santana (well Santana mainly) is the impact on wins & losses for the team. Dealing Santana could bring back valuable prospects but it will undoubtedly make the situation worse in the short term. That said, the time to sell Santana before he's a free agent or declines is now or next season before the deadline, IMO.

    If they trade for Dozier that adds one more so 42/43 (depending on if they sign Holland)? Subtract De Leon and Stewart and your back to 40 correct?

    So if i understand this correctly: 4 prospects including De-Leon and Alvarez plus two rhp's and ptbnl? Seems like a lot for Dozier.

    We'll see. I'm a Dozier fan as well but this team's starting pitching is SO BAD that i think they have to trade him to bring in prospects and provide options. We all know they are not going to spend the money to sign quality free agent starters and they keep getting more expensive year after year. They are also stuck with two albatross contracts in Hughes (3 more seasons at 13.2 mil) and Mauer (2 more seasons at 23 mil), that's what 45% of the payroll currently? . Unfortunately, moves that stink of desperation are never a good thing, but the Twins under Terry Ryan backed themselves into this corner with years of poor drafting, poor scouting, lack of player development, bad contract extensions at the worst possible times, etc. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that they were using an archaic system of evaluating talent without substantial analytics. I mean what's it been, six straight years of futility (with a slight reprieve in 2015)?

    All i can say is if this IS TRUE Levine had better be damned careful that they don't piss off the Dodgers FO to the point that they throw up their hands and rescind their offer all together. Honestly, i'd be pretty happy with De Leon and Alvarez plus a lesser pitching prospect, but that's just me. Either way, fine line to walk here. Dodgers aren't going to wait forever. Sounds like nothing is going to happen for the next couple of days at least. Anyways, got things to do and thanks for the updates Dave.

    My source (the tooth fairy) says we will be sending Dozier to LA for Kershaw, De Leon and Urias AND IT'S SOON TO BE CONFIRMED in the next 24 hours!
  15. laloesch
    this discussion is still going on? coming up on 48 hours or was it 24? I have a feeling this will be on going through the weekend before the balloon deflates and people realize it's not happening.
  16. laloesch
    Sucker. That's how i feel about following this thread all day.
  17. laloesch
    Yep. It's starting to fizzle out. Unconfirmed rumor from an unconfirmed source and no deal. Pretty amazing it got this crazy.
  18. laloesch
    Apparently... NO DEAL!
  19. laloesch

    Haha TMI
  24. laloesch
    I'm not picking on Dave either, I'm just skeptical that's all.
  25. laloesch
    What does "it's still very close" mean? Close to a deal not happening? Cryptic at best.
