  1. So.... Status quo in TD Land? We could acquire Mike Trout and half of the members would be lukewarm about the prospects given up to acquire him.
  2. This one hard deadline sucks. Let's move it back to August 30th if it's that difficult to know whether you're a buyer or seller 60% of the way through a season.
  3. A top 10 MLB farm system can't easily beat out 2 45 FV prospects in a bottom 10 farm system. Got it.
  4. I threw out those names with the assumption the Mets wanted near ready MLB pitching prospects. If they prefer keeping players off the 40 for a couple of years, we all know the team is littered with those guys too... Enlow, Colina, Alcala, Canterino, etc.
  5. That was an underwhelming return for Stroman... An offer the Twins could have easily beat. Doesn't make me hopeful that an impact trade is on the horizon.
  6. Thor sounds like a classic instant fix if he goes to an organization that switches his pitch mix. I don't know why he's not throwing the slider more... Possibly a fear of getting injured again? That pitch is nasty, and a smart, more analytically driven organization than the Mets is going to get a steal.
  7. Out of the 3 pending free agents he's #1 on my priority list to sign this off-season as it stands today. Big Mike Odorizzi Gibson
  8. I was. But the Twins were never 11 games under .500 at any point during the years I wanted them to add.
  9. There were Twins fans too that wanted to add. If the Giants stand pat it's only going to make their rebuild more painful. They were 11 games under 500 through the first 80 games. That doesn't sound like a team ready to make a final run.
  10. I have read this on more than one occasion about San Francisco's status here, and I disagree very much. It took going 16-4 this month in order to say they're above .500 by one game. Why on Earth would they value a 20 game hot streak over the first 80 games when they were a terrible baseball team? Would you advocate the Twins keeping their players if they were in the same situation? I'm willing to bet, because we saw this in 2015/2017, there would be articles here not to buy into the hot streak and sell.
  11. The odds of making the playoffs increased today. Bad break for the Rays...
  12. For 3 pitchers who can assist in 2019 I'd be open to trading just about anyone in the minors *within reason*
  13. Get out of here with these negative thoughts!
  14. Smart teams took advantage of the market inefficiency (over valuing prospects) and built perennial playoff contending teams.
  15. Since apparently I have nothing better to do at the airport I found the Realmuto article over the off-season. http://twinsdaily.com/topic/32142-article-revisiting-realmuto-as-a-twins-trade-target/ Sure, there were people arguing against the trade. How quickly we forget Garver was dealing with concussion issues and it wasn't a sure thing he would stick behind the plate. And no one predicted he would break out offensively like he has.
  16. You can find out for yourself here: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com Let us know what kind of trade proposals you put together!
  17. That proposal is an overpay according to baseballtradevalues.com Stroman total value: 26.8 Larnach, Gordon, Thorpe total value: 31.2 But it may take something like that to get their attention.
