    If Toronto wants pitching probably Duran and Thorpe.
  2. Vanimal46
    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.
  3. Vanimal46
    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.

    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

    I would do this trade.
  6. Vanimal46
    I was. But the Twins were never 11 games under .500 at any point during the years I wanted them to add.
  7. Vanimal46
    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.
  8. Vanimal46
    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.

    The odds of making the playoffs increased today. Bad break for the Rays...
  10. Vanimal46
    For 3 pitchers who can assist in 2019 I'd be open to trading just about anyone in the minors *within reason*
  11. Vanimal46
    Get out of here with these negative thoughts!
  12. Vanimal46
    Pathetic, really... Couldn't agree more. Fix the pitching, now.
  13. Vanimal46
    Sano's 2nd home run was the loudest crack off the bat I've heard in a long time.
  14. Vanimal46
    Smart teams took advantage of the market inefficiency (over valuing prospects) and built perennial playoff contending teams.
  15. Vanimal46
    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. Vanimal46
    Joe Mauer is aroused reading this post.
  17. Vanimal46
    You can find out for yourself here: https://www.baseballtradevalues.com Let us know what kind of trade proposals you put together!
  18. Vanimal46
    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.
  19. Vanimal46
    Ny-Bomb.
  20. Vanimal46
    Ask and you shall receive... Stashak is on the way.
  21. Vanimal46
    IALTO!
  22. Vanimal46
    Yeah IIRC there was reported interest a couple of weeks ago. An overwhelming offer is probably worth it if the FO believes he can be a good 1-2 punch with Berrios over the next 3 seasons.
  23. Vanimal46
    I want a starter under contract at least through 2020. If the Twins like Matthew Boyd I'm willing to trade the prospect capital to acquire him. Relievers are so hard to predict year over year, I just want a couple of rentals who are pitching well. Will Smith (SF) and Chris Martin (TX) fit the bill.
  24. Vanimal46
    I'm on board!
  25. Vanimal46
    I completely understand wanting to get the win by using Rogers for another 2 inning save... However, I'm getting a little concerned how much Rocco is using him lately. The Twins really need another reliever who can produce in high leverage situations.
