    When Buxton emerged as the star we knew he was, I think many of us felt secure that we had a serviceable backup in Cave this season. I have no idea what happened to this guy. He was very, very solid last season. I would have never predicted that he'd struggle so much. Watching him wave through low-and-inside pitches with that upper-cut swing is frustrating. I'm sure it is for him, too.

    Buxton and Cron. Please come back soon. It seems like we haven't had a full "A" team playing since opening day. It's August, we need you!

    Worst Twins debut ever? Certainly in the conversation. No second-guessing here, Dyson just didn't do his job. End of story. KC is next, Twins should be playing for a sweep. Wonder when CJ Cron is going to get back. The offense is HR or bust and has looked underwhelming in recent weeks. Miguel Sano has certainly returned to form. He's hitting the ball as well as he ever has in his MLB career right now.

    Yeah. And I'm totally fine with that. Twins have won 5 of their last 6 games. Berrios looked great last night, and Rocco saved some wear and tear on his arm. Bringing in Rogers maybe was a bit hasty, but with Romo and now Dyson on board he'll be able to rest more often moving forward.

    Keep racking up these wins against bad teams. Let's get the sweep tomorrow gang! That Rosario HR was just awesome to watch, highlight of the game IMO. Go Twins.

    I think his real advantage is his pitching. The bat is a bonus. In a best of 5 series, the Astros are going to roll out Verlander, Cole and Grienke. How do you not get swept? Love the move for the 'Stros, not much the Twins could do there. However, it might be a learning experience. The Astros have a deep farm system with tons of young talent blocking them at the MLB level. So while the Astros did indeed give up big prospects, they've got young guys like Alex Bregman and Carlos Correa anchoring that team at ages 25 and 24, respectively. When you draft and develop talent that can succeed in the majors in their early 20's, and continue to draft and develop talent behind them, Grienke and Verlander trades can happen on the regular.

    Dyson to Twins has been confirmed by Dan Hayes of The Athletic.

    From Twitter: "Hearing rumblings of Sam Dyson of the Giants headed to the Twins. Possibly three minor leaguers part of the deal."
  9. bighat
    Dudes on MLB Network right now roasting the Twins.

    Stunned and disappointed. "Nobody made deals" isn't true. The Braves, A's, Nationals went out there and improved their bullpens with huge overhauls.
  11. bighat
    Tried to embed a tweet, clearly you can't just cut and paste the embed code here. Anyway, Wolfson reports Twins are "optimistic" they will get another deal done. (fixed it for you - Brock) https://twitter.com/DWolfsonKSTP/status/1156641457702428672

    Braves grabbed Shane Greene. Lots of contenders making moves, looks like the time's almost up....still time yet but the Twins haven't been mentioned once all day....honestly I'm stunned.
  13. bighat
    Not reading anything about the Twins being involved on ANY of the guys mentioned. I thought Romo was the appetizer, but maybe he's the main course? Twins going to rely on the Rochester shuttle and the young bullpen guys? If there's no trade, it seems to be a sure thing that the Twins think Cody Allen will be on this roster sooner rather than later.
  14. bighat
    Haha, I think it's kind of become that for some of us. I just saw other dudes posting updates here and I'm doing the same. No harm, no foul....just do you, man!
  15. bighat
    Tanner Roark off the board to the A's.
  16. bighat
    Giants are waving the white flag? Pomeranz has been dealt to the Brewers. Twins should snap up a Dyson or a Smith!
  17. bighat
    Elias from the M's is now also off the board. Nats got him as well.
  18. bighat
    Interesting and good catch! Although I will say that one of their followers is the Minnesota Timberwolves team account. Not that it means anything....but yeah it's weird for sure.
  19. bighat
    He probably is looking at Odorizzi, Gibson, and Pineda leaving the team this year. And Cruz will be gone as well. Contracts for guys like Rosario will expire in a couple of years as well. Guys like Kiriloff and Lewis aren't sure things by any stretch of the imagination. The team the Twins has is good right now, and many players are right in the prime of their careers at this time.
  20. bighat
    Washington Nationals have snagged Daniel Hudson. Word is that the Nats are not done and also seeking Elias from the M's as well.
  21. bighat
    No kidding. We'll have plenty of time to think about 2020....in 2020! The time is NOW, the year is THIS ONE! Let's grab another arm, boys!
  22. bighat
    I'll be disappointed, and let down. Not really ANGRY but yeah, I'll have the blues.
  23. bighat
    I'm guessing we'll pull the deal on maybe one more mid-tier reliever. My prediction: Romo's the biggest name the Twins acquire here at the deadline. Right or wrong, the FO can point to the overall record and say "we're good enough as we are, we'll take our chances with the team we have". We'll see in a few hours! Crazy to see Cleveland SUBTRACT pitching while in a pennant race. Guess when you have Kluber back in 2 weeks the move doesn't look too bad.
  24. bighat
    Yeah, I agree - don't think the Twins could have beat that deal: primarily because the Jays didn't think our deal was any good. They wanted either Lewis or Kiriloff, and if they were firm on that, Twins had no chance to make a trade.
  25. bighat
    Neither are listed in the Top 100 prospect list from MLB pipeline. I think Kay is just outside the top 100, and you're right he's not garbage. But still a shocker from my perspective and I don't think I'm alone.
