  1. Kepler is just a bridge to get to their next OFs. They would definitely have to like Varland quite a bit...but you never know. They could also trade Kepler to get some additional assets at the deadline.
  2. Max and Varland...
  3. Right...he is not as good as he used to be. But I would take him at half the cost of Soler...especially for how many positions he can play. I think the difference in cost could provide an additional decent RP. In essence: Merrifield + RP > Soler
  4. If we can sign Merrifield on the cheap (1/5 or 2/10), I would love having his flexibility and mentoring abilities for our young homies. He can play any outfield position or could fill in at 2B or even 1B if needed. Still a solid hitter with solid speed as well.
  5. Think I'd almost rather invest in Merrifield instead of Duval or Soler...
  6. Is there a little Craig Biggio in that swing?
  7. https://baseball.realgm.com/wiretap/57476/Twins-Plan-To-Spend-Money-Saved-In-Jorge-Polanco-Trade
  8. I like Snell against our division. But I agree...would not sign him long term unless it is something like 4/100. Which is doubtful.
  9. I'm getting "the trade" vibes here. You know...Joe, Liriano, Boof...ect. we might have struck gold. Many great memories of Jorge so bittersweet!
  10. 1. We have humans on our roster to replace Polanco. 2. If 1 out of 5 players hits, we are equal. Anything above that is gravy. Seems like a good risk/reward.
  11. Let him play 2 months and prove he's a healthy boy...then trade him for the polar bear before its too late.
  12. I see Gary Sanchez signing with the Marlins...
  13. Interesting article from fangraphs a few years back...I've always wondered this when it comes to FA starting pitching... https://community.fangraphs.com/does-switching-leagues-affect-pitching-performance/
  14. Would anyone give Woodruff something like 5/75?
  15. Yes. He is who I was thinking as well. My mistake.
  16. There are tons of really good players who never get their cup o' coffee. Many of them probably would have been excellent MLB players. Opportunity IS rare. Many players to not get an opportunity, and if they do get one and do not cash in, they are done. Obviously some bias here...but one of my former high school players was in the Blue Jays and Phillies organizations for the better part of the 2010s. Almost got a chance, but didn't. Ended up playing in the Independent League and winning a national triple crown. Brewers gave him a chance after that...it came down to him vs. Jesus Aguilar. Aguilar won (who played ages 24-26 with the Guardians with a total of 60 ABs and almost did not get a chance himself). Logan Morrison ended his career on that team LOL.
  17. I'm not big on Snell either. But would love to clear up money for Woodruff/Montgomery/Urias/Hader. Although I am not sure if Urias is still in trouble or if LA is ready to part ways. The bats left in FA aren't all that great...
  18. I'm sure it is highly unlikely to sign a big FA...but if we clear up some $, why is it 100% off the table?
  19. Wasn't talking about trading for a SP. Why would a high dollar FA pitcher be off the table if we create money for one? I was talking about allocating those players salaries for a FA top end of the rotation SP (or Hader). Who has been offered for Polanco or Kepler?
  20. Are you referring to Brad Keller? Because he is a FA (and one definitely worth looking into). Those other guys are going to cost WAY more than Julien.
  21. Giants signed Hicks to be a starter apparently. Seems like a goofy move, but if it works out, they got him on the cheap.
  22. If I am the Twins FO, I am doing everything in my power to trade Vazquez, Kepler, and Polanco this off-season...for whatever they can get. We have perfectly reasonable replacements for all of them, and that is a lot of money that can go towards an ace or a solid #2. Or we can sign Hader and have an amazing bullpen. Kepler and Polanco may be at their apex value NOW. These guys still out there... Snell/Woodruff/Montgomery/Urias (and Kershaw but I'm sure he signs with LAD or retires)
  23. Hasn't the deadline passed for offering a QO? Or are you talking for next year? Also, they would only get that comp pick if Kepler signs elsewhere for at least $50.
  24. Um...I can think of quite a few other ways to spend $20-$25 than Kepler.
