    I'm just in no position to second guess the guys who study the prospects, since I don't. Ordinarily second round is a great time to draft a catcher if they think he'll reach the majors. That's how they get Jeffers. Best player available remains the mantra. So I'm not disappointed, to use your word. If they end up with two major leaguers, things have a way of working out.

    Who's got a starting pitching prospect and a left-handed hitting corner outfielder we can sucker them out of?

    Wow, good prediction. I just popped in and I see that's exactly how many pitches he threw.

    That's what it might take to get to 84 W. 🙃

    Both have poor OPS for the first half of July, but Kreidler's BABIP of .211 suggests a lot of batted balls finding gloves, while Gray's is .333 and doesn't provide cause for optimism coupled with high strikeout frequency. It's all ultra-small sample size, but that's what we have. The two guys have pretty similar minor-league hitting resumes to go by. I stick with Kreidler too, not just for the glove but also a chance of decent offense for a shortstop.

    Why do we think relieving is easier on the arm? Currently we have relievers Acton, Banda, Raya and Sands on the two injured lists.

    Yabbut what has the FO done for us lately?

    The "right-size the payroll" mentality is what has kept this team locked into mediocrity or worse for the last few years.

    It's the distance between sprinkler heads in the outfield. .

    Throwing in a rhotic sound can be a very regional thing. My mother-in-law in Chicago pronounces that word exactly that way. I have no idea what the speech patterns in Payette, Idaho were back in the day, but I wouldn't be too harsh on Harmon for that particular one - he had to have picked it up from somewhere. Caratini doesn't deserve his name to be mangled, though.

    The '23 Twins were one game under .500 at the All-Star Break. They finished July one game above. They sneaked into a division title and fans had some fun in two home games before getting cut down to size by Houston. The fact the FO then completely fumbled the positive PR potential for strengthening the relationship with the fanbase, with stupidities like "right-sizing the payroll", doesn't detract from the potential for good by trying during this very down year for the AL as a whole and a non-juggernaut Central division. Mortgage the future? No. Redeploy assets? Yes please.

    Both these positions could be true. I could see both teams turning thumbs down at this trade deadline.
