Agreed....New data and circumstance would change the construct (and/or desire depending on the level of back room rancor) for any future LA deal. Let's hope for a few other GMs sitting on increasingly warmer seats in the same division/league to come sniffing mid-season.

We are rightfully concerned that Dozier my lose value during the season. But, I think we stand to gain A LOT more information about JDL than they stand to learn about Dozier during the first half of the season...which could alleviate some concerns about a trade-center piece with a potential "pre-existing condition." Also, the risk of waiting is worth the benefit that an actual competitive market may manifest sometime over the next year to drive up demand. And we have more time than they do. Even with young player progression, this team is not going to threaten anyone in 2017. (not going anywhere for a while.....)

First Time Poster, but long time reader (great read) One point that I have not seen made previously is that Dozier should be motivated to produce at a high level entering his contract year(s). Given his characrer, I also see this whole ordeal providing (more) positive motivation for him. And again, IMO, ...the Twins are under NO pressure to win big this year in the first year of this FO, while LA will be under SIGNIFICANT pressure to big win now). Even minor struggles by LA in the first half of the year will increase our leverage exponentially. If Dozier is traded, Planco may fill in at second base, but who fills in during the post-win dance party (once a week or so...) Finally.... my sources tell me that DaveW's next Dozier trade prediction will come within 72 hours (I enjoy his reports but couldn't resist)
