Damn it Fangraphs, how about you just shut your damn mouth until after the trade deadline?

Damn it Fangraphs, how about you just shut your damn mouth until after the trade deadline?Don't worry, I don't think the Twins were planning on taking on a ton of salary while trading our guys anyway...

June 17, 201610 yr The Twins will have to eat some salary if they expect Nolasco to go to a team that needs an innings-eater for a post season run. I do not see this happening. This is also why we will not be able to move Dozier. We owe him $15 million between 2017 and 2018. This article at FanGraphs suggest that no one will show any interest. I wonder who Polanco will play for, when someone finally puts him on the field.
June 19, 201610 yr I am sure glad the Twins didn't trade for Shields. That would have been a big mishap...
