Agreed. He was traded because the FO thinks Abel is an MLB caliber SP. Now we’ll see if their gamble is correct. In theory you trade a RP for a SP 10 times out of 10.
-
Isn’t this usually the time when the Twins start contacting season ticket holders about renewing for next year? Those poor sales people making those calls to angered fans…
-
Possibly. Yesterday’s prices aren’t today’s prices and Seattle might be feeling the pressure to go all in themselves.
-
With the market this hot on relievers I think we gotta go all in and trade Jax. If we can get Harry Ford from Seattle and more I’m in.
-
Not breaking news or surprising…
-
Correct. And that’s how they’ll get a big bat in return to balance things out
-
it’ll be a player I’m sure. Just a little attempt at humor since things are getting a little tense as we wait for the next Passan or Rosenthal bomb
-
We will agree to disagree on that. We are the slowest team in baseball. And that’s with the fastest player in baseball Byron Buxton lifting the average for everyone else.
-
Fair point from Dan on why a return has not been announced yet. Who knows, it could be some of our favorite players like OF Cash Considerations or 1B Tobe Namedlater
-
That is a monumental task for this current group of players. Unless the manager we hire is Jesus Christ to perform miracles, that’s not gonna happen.
-
I hope Raya and Prielipp are called up tomorrow. Get their feet wet in the bullpen
-
We will still have essentially the same starting rotation - Lopez, Ryan, Ober - the rest of the year is finding out if 4/5 will be one of SWR, Festa, Zebby, or another minor leaguer. We’ve had a knack of turning failed SPs into RP pretty quickly. The bullpen can be cobbled together with Jax, Varland, Sands, then guys like Prielipp, Raya, etc. I still have no idea what they’re going to do to generate more offense. That still remains the biggest issue.
-
Fair. Who knows, maybe the Dodgers DFA him again once any of their 20,000 pitchers on the IL make their return
-
The players have nobody else but themselves to blame for the fire sale. They’ve been playing lifeless baseball since opening day.
-
Meh, does the control really matter for a 34 year old player?
-
Sad but true. After today I will be taking a little vacation from watching the Twins
-
I wonder if Jax stays now that Duran and Stewart are shipped out? Castro, Coulombe, and maybe a Jax trade is what I’m hoping for the rest of the afternoon.
-
Brock Stewart back home to the Dodgers
-
Kiersey’s bat can’t get any worse right? I guess we will find out
-
I will miss him. Hope we prioritize signing him in free agency this winter. -
I will miss Bader. Him and Buxton were the only position players we had that played the game with hustle and swagger.
-
-
Mason Miller traded to the Padres for a haul - 3 pitchers and #3 overall prospect in baseball Leodalis De Vries. Wow
-
Agreed. Don’t half ass this sell off. Falvey started it, now he’s got to complete it today.
-
Let’s keep the transactions going. Biggest decisions today are Jax and Correa. And we should probably trade away both. Then flip Castro, Bader, and Coulombe for whatever at the end
