Fair enough
-
Even with that swap it's highly debatable they received anywhere close to excess value. That's a lot for a teenage catcher in low A.
-
You can never have enough LH corner OFers who can't play defense right?
-
The irony of that series of events...
-
Good riddance to Correa. We'll see what return looks like and whether moving that salary is just more "right sizing." I'm sure the Twins ate as little money as possible to still make the deal work, and I'm sure Houston was happy to max out their payroll to keep talent in house...
-
I got a good laugh out of "took a possible tying homer away from Correa recently." Between that and tweeting his minor league stats when the deal was announced....yeesh.
-
Yeah I get it. I'm sure they think they see something. I was fully onboard with moving Stewart, but do it for an actual lottery ticket or just hold onto him and pray he's healthy either this offseason or at the deadline next year. Outman won't see LHP so they'll still need that veteran reclamation project RH OF.
-
This FO loves their high risk low reward projects. He'll fit right into the batting order....
-
Yeah that belief feels like a way to cope with an underwhelming return more than anything.
-
Guys within the org + FAs will have to be added this offseason as well.
-
Sure, they absolutely could've derailed a short career here or there. I guess we'll never know. I think the talent level of this organization is often overstated so I skew towards blaming what's happening before they reach the majors.
-
This would be gross. I'm cool with moving Stewart for an actual lotto ticket(s) but if they're just avoiding arbitration here, holy ****.....
-
Exciting is subjective, but prospects flaming out at the big league level could easily have more to do with preferred player profile/minor league development than whatever Rocco is or isn't doing in the dugout. If Falvey loves a certain skill set, and/or is hard set on a specific development plan, we could be seeing the cap on those skills + development.
-
He's at his career high (34) for IP already. Last year he threw 15 innings. 27 the year before that. I'm totally fine with the Twins thinking they're selling high on a soon to be 34 year old relief arm that hasn't been able to stay healthy at any point in his career. He hasn't been that productive, because he hasn't been available, like ever. I wouldn't feel remotely comfortable rolling the dice that Stewart would be both healthy, and sitting north of 25 innings by the deadline next season.
-
Deals get done late all the time
-
The guy has already matched his meager career high for IPs. Highly doubt he'll stay healthy in his mid 30s with LA. Good luck but yeah I approve of the sale.
-
Probably a little more, but even so, that doesn't make him a rental, or too expensive. There wasn't some massive rush to get this deal done today. They had another 24 hours before the deadline wrapped, and they have an entire offseason ahead of them. If you just love this particualr deal, ok. It sounds like they could've held out for an actual overpay and gotten equivalent value this offseason if they were intent of moving Duran.
-
They're also shedding contracts. $8M gets you Chris Paddack. We know how that worked out. I don't believe for one second there' was no room in the budget for Jhoan Duran.

OMG thank you. Throwing together parts ≠ an impact arm. It's akin to blindly using total WAR to justify swaps. Tait's assigned value, even if we assume it's correct, is still incredibly volatile.

Bingo, I would've guessed 9ish off the top of my head. This team is paying Vazquez $10M to be one of the worst players in baseball but suddenly an elite arm for $8-9M is "too expensive." Hilarious.

What do you think he's actually going to make next season? Honestly....
-
Do you think an equivalent deal was off the table this offseason? I don't. At that point why not hold out at least another 24 hours if not 4 months?
