    He's cheap enough you can pick the option up and use him next year, even if it's not as the closer. Or you can possibly trade him in the off-season.

    Regarding being "in" it, Cleveland does not impress me, so anything is possible. But you also have to factor in the bigger picture. They had zero chance of advancing against NYY/Bos/Hou if they did make it. Zero. That's not normally the case in MLB play-offs, but it would have been this year. Also, I'm not sure how much they actually hurt themselves. Escobar was replaced by Sano. Lynn by Santana. Pressly by May. Duke by Moya. Dozier is the only spot that really stings. If they somehow end up finishing within 4 games of Cleveland, we can wonder what might have been. But we didn't just make ourselves 10 games worse.

    I saw someone on Twitter alleging that "sources" told him Mauer is going to retire. No idea if it has any validity. But it's possible he told the Twins this already and that played into who they targeted the last two days.

    But then where would Grossman fit in? We simply must keep him around....
  5. howeda7
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but we were already going to control him through 2022 whether he came back this year or not? Also, if this is a lingering hammate bone issue, at what point do you have it removed?
  6. howeda7
    At this point, I'd give Dozier away on the stipulation that they must take Belisle and MF Wilson too.
  7. howeda7
    Had about enough of Odorizzi. He's a younger Lance Lynn. Trade them both.

    This is such lame logic. The Astros will be good for a long time. The Yankees and Red Sox will always be good. By this logic, we should trade everyone a curl up in a ball in the fetal position.

    Trading Escobar and Pressly is one thing. But if Falvine tries to trade Belisle or M F Wilson, Molitor will draw a line in the sand. Believe me.
  10. howeda7
    This is easier to take than Escobar. Pressly feels like he can't get over the hill from intriguing to dependable lights out 8th/9th inning guy. They absolutely have to trade Dozier, Duke and Rodney now or this doesn't make any sense though.

    Best case return: They get a player who might one day be as good as he is right now. Pass.

    Magill's use bothered me more when he was pitching well. He's been pretty bad lately.
  13. howeda7
    No. MAGA! (Just a joke, everyone relax).
  14. howeda7
    7.5 back. Having gained 4.5 games in a week. Who will the Twins target as buyers?
  15. howeda7
    Freaking Presly.
  16. howeda7
    +1. I mean I imagine most of us our pale Minnesotans, but that guy looks like a ghost.
  17. howeda7
    Our clean up hitter went up there looking to walk, and by God he did.
  18. howeda7
    Romero should never have been sent down, and he should get this spot in the rotation.
  19. howeda7
    You'll be relieved to know that Magic Fingers Wilson is in the line-up tonight, ensuring Garver is not over-worked by catching back-to-back games, and Wilson will catch at least 2/3 in this series as a starting catcher should. I'm confident he will start rectify the terrible damage he did to the drive for .100 on Saturday.
  20. howeda7
    Great game by Garver, and great job by Odorizzi holding it together throwing to such a bum. I look forward to Magic Fingers Wilson being back in there tomorrow.
  21. howeda7
    Paul played until he was 42 or so and views 35 as having many years left. It's why we're keeping Belisle. He could be quite valuable in 2021.
  22. howeda7
    Dozier they have to take whatever they can get. Escobar I would only trade if the offer is good. Given that there are far more sellers than buyers, I don't expect to get a premium for anyone. I would offer Escobar a reasonable extension or take the risk of tendering him. I would not risk it with Dozier.
  23. howeda7
    They have picked up 2.5 games on Cleveland this series. The lead is back to single digits. At a minimum, I don't expect any early trades. They would still have to be within 6-8 games by 7/31 to not sell. I felt 8-3 on this home stand was the minimum not to begin blowing things up at the ASB. So far so good.
  24. howeda7
    The pitchers can suck it up. Berrios didn't exactly seem adversely effected yesterday. Besides, hopefully they can see that losing 3-2 games is in part because you send people up to bat who have zero chance of doing anything. The FO can make it clear by releasing him already.

    Mike Pence wrote it for him.
