    He’s at a negative trade value right now where they have to kick in cash in order to move him. It’s not going to get any better for the last 2 years of his contract. His value extrapolated over 162 games in 2020 was 1.6 WAR. He missed 32 games last season, 26 games and counting this season. YMMV.

    Sigh… Is your first paragraph really debating in good faith? Gleeman did a full analysis, every free agent signing. Then labeled the signings as great, good, neutral, poor, very poor. I’ll attach the images. How do you evaluate their ability to sign free agents?
  3. Vanimal46
    Not really, you’re using emotion and injecting things I have not said to make your case. Gleeman’s analysis is just that. Nothing more or less. That’s all I wrote.
  4. Vanimal46
    Right, which is what Gleeman stated in the article I linked. Cruz was such a great signing (possibly best in team history) that it cancels out the rest of the bad signings. The bad signings did happen, and many were counted on to be impact players.

    I’m not a big fan of the FO at the moment, but they’re not going anywhere. Terry Ryan stuck around long past his expiration date, and the Pohlads aren’t ones to make knee jerk decisions. Aaron Gleeman earlier this year had a great analysis about their free agent signings since joining the Twins. It’s been mostly bad. Nelson Cruz was their saving grace and makes the overall picture look better. Everyone else they spent $183 million and received 16 WAR in value. Similarly, Gleeman examined every trade deadline deal up to 2021. And the majority of trades were inconsequential or just flat out bad. I guess we’ll find out if these new pitchers from this trade deadline will provide more value than the other trades in the past.

    It’s actually Twins Minor League Daily. The major league team has been dismissed until 2024 around here lately. Aaron Gleeman tweeted tonight the Twins are 3-43 allowing more than 5 runs, 42-20 allowing less than 5 runs. Dismantling the offense doesn’t sound like a winning strategy to me.

    Dohkay. See ya.

    @chpettit19 Moneyball was a worthy strategy when they were the only ones doing it. Now every team emulates each other, minus Colorado and St. Louis I suppose. In this mini contention window, we needed someone better than Berrios to put us over the top. Now we don’t have him, and still need someone better than him.
  9. Vanimal46
    Are you confident they will replace his production of 3 WAR through FA? I don’t.
  10. Vanimal46
    You’re missing my point. Trading Berrios eliminates 2022 from any potential of being enjoyable and competitive. We’re now multiple years away from being good.
  11. Vanimal46
    This must be Christmas morning for prospect lovers. I watch the MLB team only, so I might as well check out the rest of 2021 and 2022.
  12. Vanimal46
    Berrios was the only positive on the pitching staff this year. He wasn’t contributing to the suck of 2021. Now the pitching staff is in shambles even more. Oh boy.
  13. Vanimal46
    That’s my concern right now… 2022. Sports is an entertainment first business, and the team won’t be competitive/entertaining for the foreseeable future. The next 2 months for sure are going to be unwatchable.

  15. Vanimal46
    Agreed, not my best take. I’m pretty bummed to lose the only homegrown pitching talent we’ve developed in the last decade.

    Sounds like everyone is on the table… Buxton, Maeda, Rogers, etc. If Buxton is traded I’ll be pretty fed up with this organization.
  18. Vanimal46
    Job security 101. Keep pushing the ETA out further.

    Circle of life. Play poorly, develop young stars, trade them before you have to pay them, rely on hope for the future.
  21. Vanimal46
    Sigh…
  22. Vanimal46
    I’ve never understood the logic of dismantling the offense because the pitching staff was horrible this year. Donaldson is performing, probably better than most expectations. Kepler is probably not going to elevate his game like Yelich, but he’s still quite good.
  23. Vanimal46
    Wires may have been crossed. I’m talking about Pineda.
  24. Vanimal46
    Wouldn’t surprise me. I’d rather have him around for another year or 2 instead of a lousy return.
  25. Vanimal46
    I’ll join your party not wanting to trade Berrios. There’s no one internally to replace his production as soon as next year. Nor do I believe it will be replaced by an expensive FA signing. I like Big Mike. I think the Twins like Big Mike. He’s about the only player I think would consider coming back in free agency if he is traded today.
