    I think you hit the nail on the head here. The only way the twins should consider this, is if they can extend Soto and that’s not happening.
  2. brockbesler
    Maybe Baltimore would be interested in Gray for Mountcastle. I know this doesn’t help the logjam of fielders, but maybe they would take Gallo if the Twins eat some of his salary.
  3. brockbesler
    Need to wait and see who else is involved. Sounds like two prospects to the Twins along with Lopez and one to the Marlins.
  4. brockbesler
    This is what I would do. It’s on overpay according to trade simulator, but I think it would take something like this.

    Twins get: Luzardo Soler Marlins get: Wallner or Kepler Enlow The Twins would pay all of Soler’s salary. It is relatively even on baseball trade values.

    Wow… I don’t know what else to say!

    I never understood why Kenny Lofton didn’t get more support for the Hall.
  8. brockbesler
    Very well written. I think he deserves a spot in the HOF, but it’s going to be difficult to get him in without Andruw Jones in.

    So the main focus of this off-season was to resign Correa and they get a second chance and still don’t get it done? The front office could have redeemed themselves and got the fans somewhat back on their side. With that said, it does seem like he wanted to go to NY so it might not have mattered if the Twins upped their offer at all.

    Trade Larnach or Kepler and whatever else they need to Miami to get Lopez. Try to get Soler in the deal to lower the cost for the Twins. Then sign Benintindi. If there is room in the budget sign Swanson. Now you have some speed in the lineup and a couple guys at the top that put the ball in play well.

    I really think these huge contracts are due to the crazy inflation we are currently seeing.

    Who else wanted Provus to ask Baldelli why Lewis couldn’t learn other positions at the Major League level like other players on the team have? (Even though I know he would never call them out like that)
  13. brockbesler
    Now it sounds like the Twins might be trying to trade Sanchez. I have no idea what’s going on, guess I’ll just have to watch and see…
  14. brockbesler
    Does this mean Story might be the next move?
  15. brockbesler
    How about sending Arraez, Larnach, Miranda, Duran, and Sands to the Marlins for Lopez and Meyer? They might want Kepler instead to play center though, which could be workable. If MLB goes to a universal DH, Arraez could become fairly valuable.
  16. brockbesler
    I’m not sure if I completely agree with this. It’s not like Arraez is a rental, he has 4 years of control left. However, if they do decide to go for a complete rebuild then he might not interest them much.
  17. brockbesler
    How about this. Twins get: Montas Manaea Andrus A’s get Arraez Larnach Cavaco Enlow According to mlb trade sim this is a slight overpay for the Twins, but I think taking on Andrus salary would really entice the A’s.

    Jason Kubel was born in Belle Fourche, SD. I just noticed there were no Twins listed for South Dakota. It was a fun list to look through though! Thanks for putting this together.
  19. brockbesler
    I wonder how good this team would actually be? Pretty solid defense and three exceptional hitters. Constructing a lineup would be interesting too. I was thinking something like: Carew Knoblauch Mauer Tovar Buxton Punto Gladden Revere Guzman
  20. brockbesler
    I’m beginning to feel less and less optimistic that the Twins will sign a pitcher this offseason. They just as well turn their full attention towards trades. Call up the Marlins and see what it will take to get Caleb Smith. He could be a solid backend rotation piece, with upside. If he cuts down on the homers, he could be very successful. Then, call Arizona and Colorado. I really like Ray and I think a move out of Colorado could really help Gray. My preference is Ray, in the hopes he will like it in Minnesota and re-sign there. It seems there’s a lot of untapped potential with both these guys. I really have no idea what it would take to land any of these pitchers, but this might be the best way to improve the rotation without getting locked into a huge contract.
  21. brockbesler
    What if the Mets just made Thor available to take other teams attention away from Stroman, so they could swoop in and get him?
  22. brockbesler
    They need to get at least one reliever as good as Rogers and one more solid reliever. They should call the Nationals and offer them Graterol, Javier, Blankenhorn, and whoever else they need to for Scherzer.
  23. brockbesler
    Ted, what do you think it would take to land some of theses pitchers?
  24. brockbesler
    After watching the video of Perez I am pleasantly surprised with how he looked. Good movement on his pitches and good velocity. He induced a lot of weak contact too. I didn’t like the signing at the time, and I’m not sold yet. With that said I think the front office might have found a real diamond in the rough here.
  25. brockbesler
    I wonder if a 4 year $64 million contract with an opt out after year 2 would be enough to get Kimbrel.
