    Still waiting for a corresponding move to the last 3 DFA'd players... Getting cash considerations is one tiny step above getting nothing in return. They're getting the waiver fee covered, somewhere around $20k. Yippee.

    Magill is traded to the Mariners for everyone's favorite return... Cash Considerations.
  3. Vanimal46
    All of that cash will be used 2 years from now when (insert ace FA pitcher name here) becomes a free agent.
  4. Vanimal46
    Should be an update on this today, no?
  5. Vanimal46
    Morin traded to the Phillies for cash considerations.
  6. Vanimal46
    IALTO!

    Yikes. https://beta.ctvnews.ca/local/montreal/2019/7/19/1_4515192.html

    All of this is fair. I agree with Clay's points that: - Republicans should be fighting identity politics with ideas, not their own version of identity politics. It's valid to challenge the ideas of the 4 congresswomen he called out. But his communication is so piss poor, especially on Twitter, that caused the outrage. - We should be thankful to be born and living in the US. For all of the country's faults and past history, this is still a great place to build a life.

    You may or may not care for Clay Travis. I enjoyed reading his thoughts about Trump's tweets. https://www.outkickthecoverage.com/all-that-and-a-bag-of-mail-74/

    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.

    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.
  12. Vanimal46
    I'm on board!
  13. 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.

    Rosie!!!

    Welcome to Twins Daily! There's still time for this team to be the real deal... It's gonna take some trades but it can be done.
  16. Vanimal46
    Ugh... Fiers has this team's number this year.
  17. Vanimal46
    Tune in at halftime when Curt, Howie, Terry and Michael break down what happened in other games around the league. Also, Drake! Live in concert!

    Great post, Mike! Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Before the season when MLB announced one hard trade deadline on 7/31 my hope was everyone's timeline would move up a month. Unfortunately that is not happening so far... Maybe it will happen in future seasons.

    Excellent blog post. I've been contemplating the situation with Schoop over the last few weeks, and still don't know the right answer... I concur with you that dealing Schoop for players who won't help in 2019 is probably ill-advised. We don't know who will get injured later this year or who will struggle with performance. On the flip side... What if he continues this slide at the plate? He showed last year his slumps can last months, and if he wasn't good enough for Milwaukee's playoff team, why should he be for the Twins? He's primarily 2B and can't really play other positions around the field. Could that bench spot be used on a utility player? Or a better bench bat? I'm guessing he will stay for the season... Perhaps we'll regret keeping him on the bench if he's used sparingly. Perhaps he finds the sweet stroke again... Fun to think about!

    I know I do the right thing every day. I treat people how I want to be treated and don't label anyone by their skin color, religion, sexual orientation, etc. Results of good parenting!
  21. Vanimal46
    Granted, the majority of free agents haven't performed well. Finding good relievers is hard.
  22. Vanimal46
    40 man now at 36. Good luck to Magill.
  23. Vanimal46
    I agree the sloppy fundamentals are contributing to this slide. That should correct itself over time because the talent is there and they didn't just forget how to catch and throw a baseball. My primary focus is supplementing the team for a playoff run, and the biggest weakness is the pitching staff. My first post about Falvey and Levine getting on the phone ASAP is related to that. We need to raise the floor in the bullpen so when a pitcher doesn't have it that day, there's another quality pitcher available to bring in. Right now they don't have that luxury. By default, May is the 2nd or 3rd best reliever. They need another reliever or 2 for the stretch run.

    Good people are going to continue to sit on the sidelines until we can have an open conversation, maybe learn something new, without being immediately called a racist/xenophobe/homophobe etc.

    If you're fully aware, why did you reply "many believed Romero was going to end up in the pen because he didn't have what it took to be a starter, and we've seen plenty of starters turn into relievers successfully before."? If Romero didn't throw enough innings to be considered as a starter, the same thought should be applied to Graterol. He's pitched less innings than Romero in the minors.
