    No. I wouldn't give him a 3rd year unless it was a team option.
  2. James
    The Braves are also out on Andrew Miller. Maybe they have TR on the phone talking about Duensing right now? I know, not the same level of pitcher, but Atlanta needs a LHR and are probably looking for a cheaper option.
  3. James
    And Asdrubal Cabrera is apparently gone...
  4. James
    Yeah, but this deadline has been very active and fun. The August trade deadline is usually a little more low key.
  5. James
    I agree, it probably would be an overpay. But, the Twins are probably not going to be spending much money elsewhere during that time, so is there any problem with overpaying a bit?
  6. James
    I'm pretty sure that most teams put most of their players on trade waivers every August. Most of good players probably get claimed and pulled off of waivers again and no one ever hears about it. There's no penalty for putting a guy like Nolasco on trade waivers. Maybe someone offers you something great, but not very likely. If a team makes a claim and they aren't serious, you pull them back off of waivers and nothing happens. No big deal.

    I need to learn how to read. For some reason I thought it said "getting close". Damn this Lysdexia.
  8. James
    And it sounds like the Cards have acquired Lackey. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/cardinals-acquire-john-lackey.html
  9. James
    Right. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt on this one. I just wanted to give everyone a gentle reminder that extension/trade talks do not have to be mutually exclusive.
  10. James
    I wasn't really aware that the Tigers has a farm system to dismantle anymore.
  11. James
    I think it's very likely that they are exploring trade options and discussing an extension at the same time.
  12. James
    I don't think it'll be a great return, but I think it will surprise a few people. He's having a good year and there isn't a whole lot of LHR's available and a lot of contenders need a LHR.
  13. James
    I don't think Duensing is traded until after Miller is traded. After he's gone, I'm thinking TR will get some calls. He may have already received some from teams just to get things in place so they can pull the trigger after Miller is off the table.
  14. James
    I'm guessing Alex Rios. If you were looking for the next Twins player to be traded... I have no idea.
  15. James
    True, but a long term deal for a catcher is usually in the 2-3 year range. I could see a 2 year deal happening, possibly with a 3rd year option. Maybe a vesting option, and the Twins will make sure that he's back to being a backup catcher to make sure it doesn't vest. All speculation on my part.
  16. James
    Agreed, This has already been a fun day. I hope the excitement continues all day.
  17. James
    Suzuki may not get traded today. It sounds like they started talking about an extension again today. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/twins-suzuki-again-discussing-extension.html
  18. James
    Apparently, Cespedes's contract calls for him to be non-tendered after the deal is done, so no qualifying offer for him, and therefore, no 1st round draft pick for Boston. https://twitter.com/DCameronFG/status/494861101113155584 Still an interesting move for both sides, and I actually like it for both teams.
  19. James
    That's one way to look at it, I guess. Well, that over/under of 10.5 might not be too far off. Already two trades today and we still have hours to go.
  20. James
    It's always a great feeling to trade a guy you picked up off of waivers back to the team that you claimed him from.
  21. James
    The Twins just acquired Tommy Milone!?!?! Interesting. Nothing listed on what we gave up. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/07/twins-acquire-tommy-milone.html ...and scooped by Winston.
  22. James
    Posted something about the Tommy Milone trade. Wrong thread... whoops. I would have to think that he will be taking the Pino/Darnell spot?
  23. James
    I think I'll take the under. But it could be close.
  24. James
    I agree that they did a great job. I think St. Louis paid for the potential upside, that's all. I thought I heard that Masterson should be coming off the DL soon, but I don't know where I read that. There's a chance that the Twins could get something similar for KC, but I would have to think that it would be something slightly less interesting. Who knows though. I am, by no means, an expert on these sorts of things.
  25. James
    True. Masterson has a much higher upside than KC though, and could be back to his old self once he comes back from the DL. It sounds like he's been dealing with this injury all year. KC's numbers on the other hand... that's just about the best he can really pitch. So, it's not really a direct comparison.
