    Derek Falvey opened a new business phone # specifically for Joey Gallo trade interest.

    Dear god no.

    After the week the Twins just had, they left Falvey no choice but to trade away these MLB players. Let’s see it happen.

    BREAKING: Washington Nationals Scout Found GUILTY of expensing a week at Saint Paul Hotel for a “scouting” trip with no intention of making a trade. CC: @RandBalls Stu

    Any fleeting thoughts last week of trading for an impact bat/arm (choose your fighter of Goldschmidt or Hader) is gone. The performance during a crucial time before the deadline was lackluster at best. Falvey, like several GMs in the game, decided to wait until the final 48 hours to be buyers, sellers, or stand pat. The roster screams Sell! Sell! Sell!

    Business terms aside, I like Danielle Hunter. He’s really good when he’s healthy. I’m excited to see what he looks like in Flores’ defense.

    Nothing’s stopping us from trading him by the trade deadline if the season goes south. We were never in position to get a high draft pick. The floor is too high for this current roster.
  9. Vanimal46
    Crucial time in the season, and the last impression before the deadline is a 5 game losing streak. Offense reverting back to its old ways, and the pitching crashing back to Earth. They’re practically begging Falvey to sell for the future tomorrow.

    All an opposing team needs to do is start 2 Tommy Milone types and it is game, set, match.
  11. Vanimal46
    We gave KC their first 3 game win streak all season. You couldn’t time this poor play any worse. Sell sell sell!
  12. Vanimal46
    You can’t just look at that 3-1 pitch Gallo… and of course he strikes out.

    Jax escapes the bases loaded jam!
  14. Vanimal46
    Jax has been really bad for a couple of weeks now.

    I’m afraid you’re going to be right. I hope Joe Pohlad does have it in mind to fire the FO if they miss the playoffs again.

    Gotta love when a reliever with a 10.22 ERA mows down the top of our lineup with ease.
  17. Vanimal46
    Yeah, it was nice to see the offense be okay for a stretch of time. The offense today is what I’ve seen more often that not over the first 90 games. Wouldn’t surprise me if we hear from Rosenthal and other National guys that The Twins are open for business after this game.
  18. Vanimal46
    This team is certainly doing their best to force Falvey’s hand to sell. I don’t know how you can possibly look at buying trades if we get swept by KC.
  19. Vanimal46
    Hunter agrees to the band aid contract. Works for me.
  20. Vanimal46
    Both of these teams have essentially bought their teams over the last couple of years. It’s interesting to see the strategy work out well in Dallas, and disastrously in Queens.
  21. Vanimal46
    The Hader situation is nearly identical to ours with Sonny Gray. A team trading for him will need to make the return more valuable than a QO draft pick. So, as we’ve reasoned in other Gray trade discussions, a draft pick in the 40 ish overall range is like a borderline top 100 prospect. I don’t think 20-25 innings from Hader is worth someone like Raya or Emmanuel Rodriguez.
  22. Vanimal46
    Good topic! I would not stake my professional reputation on this year’s team doing damage in the playoffs. We’re not one good bat or arm away, so that eliminates any splash moves like Soto, Goldschmidt, etc. I’m seeking talent with ideally 1.5 years or more of control. Open to all varieties of trades… The roster flexibility trades such as moving a LH hitting OF for a catching prospect. The selling trades such as moving one of our pitchers on an expiring contract for prospects. And the minor buying trades like players unlikely to make the 40 man roster for a bullpen arm. As I typed that out I think my theme presenting this to the Pohlad family is balance. We have a gluttony of talent at certain positions (cOF, 2B/3B) and sparse at other positions (C, CF).
  23. Vanimal46
    I like this development. If there are that many buyers, then the Twins should zag the other direction. There is no other team to fear in the AL Central. I would call every team in the AL East and SEA/HOU/TX. See who is starving for pitching and willing to overpay for Gray or Maeda.
  24. Vanimal46
    With nothing to go on but a gut feeling, I think there will be a trade completed today before Polanco is activated.
  25. Vanimal46
    The only spice I would seek this year is shopping the guys on expiring contracts. They might get blown away by an offer from a pitching starved team.
