    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Tanner Roark off the board to the A's.
  8. bighat
    Giants are waving the white flag? Pomeranz has been dealt to the Brewers. Twins should snap up a Dyson or a Smith!
  9. bighat
    Elias from the M's is now also off the board. Nats got him as well.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. bighat
    I'll be disappointed, and let down. Not really ANGRY but yeah, I'll have the blues.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. bighat
    Wow, Mets asked for Buxton in the Syndegaard deal? Seriously that's just wrong on so many levels. And the Blue Jays' asking price for Stroman demanded that one of either Lewis or Kiriloff be included? And then they took the garbage pile prospects from the Mets? I don't get it. MLBTradeRumors article says Twins have pivoted to look for more bullpen arms now. Okay, okay, let's get some already and play ball!

    The season Minor is having reminds me way too much of Martin Perez. An average to below average lefty who's been bashed in prior years who is getting lucky with smoke and mirrors. I wish I felt like you do about Minor, but I feel like he's on a lucky streak and history points to that streak ending very soon.
  20. bighat
    They'll end up with one of the less-inspiring guys from the starters listed. I'm guessing Minor or Leake. They may also add another reliever in a similar mold, maybe Kennedy or something like that. They'd better stay far away from Lance Lynn and not even entertain the idea. The bats are going to have to carry this team all the way.

    At this point you can't justify sending Arraez down. Sure, if he was on fire for a week or two, that's one thing. But the kid is on absolute fire and I don't think anyone in the Twins clubhouse, ownership, or front office are interested in sending him down. It ain't gonna happen. So yeah that leaves Schoop as the odd man out. And that's okay. Remember, the Dodgers unloaded Logan Forsythe on the Twins last year. He had just a half-season remaining on the deal. The Twins got something extra back from Los Angeles by taking him on. So, the Twins can foist Schoop onto another team, but they'll have to probably give up a higher ranked prospect if they do a deal with Schoop included.

    I was kinda joking about that, I know that a RT flight from Chicago-MIA isn't much for an MLB team. Just thought it was kinda funny that - of all places - the Twins go to Miami today.
  23. bighat
    One school of thought says this means they're going to move Syndergaard. Stroman is under control for 2020 so he'll essentially replace Thor, and the Mets will replace the prospects they lost in the Stroman deal with better prospects when they trade Syndergaard. In the end though, it's one more pitcher gone off the market. Nice to see the rebound game. More. Of. This. Cleveland lost and Bauer blew a gasket, all very nice to see while winning in a laugher. Taking 3 of 4 on the road against any MLB team is a great series. Was Romo in the bullpen today? Twins wasted a plane ticket, could have just left him in Miami and met him there. How about a good old fashioned hot streak right about now? 5-6 wins in a row would be just what the doctor ordered. Create some space.

    I'm going to press pause on my frustration-o-meter for this game. If the Twins win Sunday's game, all is forgiven with this clunker. If they lose, I'll be extra grouchy. Nibbly Gibby is on the hill for a huge game. His last big game test against the Yankees did not go well. Twins need this guy to perform at his best from here on out, can't just rely on Berrios any more.

    Here I am, commenting away thinking this is the game thread. Ha. Sorry all.
