I know when the meetings are scheduled to end.  Perhaps I should have said, why are the Twins flying home?  If two top prospects are already on the table, and you're serious about trading him, that's when you sit down and hammer out a final agreement.  Just don't tell the Pohlads you got charged extra for not checking out of the hotel in time.

Don't forget the fees to change flights.

With each passing minute, Dave's name is being considered on a couple of TD members' lists....

You know plenty of trades happen with no "hint" on Mlbtraderumors up until they happen. Especially when it involves the Twins.

For a major trade, involving a major media market (LA), I'd say that is pretty rare.  This isn't like Hicks-for-Murphy flying under the radar.

 

I'm not picking on you, though, I appreciate the thread and the discussion!

[DaveW]

30,500 views, which now breaks the record for any thread in the Minnesota Twins baseball sectio. Of the website (non stickied division) as it just beat the Denard Span trade thread.

LA has had some ones come out of left field as well. The Crawford, A Gonz, etc one came with little inkling in the media.

Why doesn't everyone just take a deep breath and back off DaveW. You should be a little grateful that he continues to reply to all the critics. If I was DaveW I would stop posting until it is going to happen and hopefully everyone can take a minute and realize how they are acting.

If a deal happens everyone will look like a fool for their petty little shots at someone who is trying to help.

I'm not a critic. I actually believe DaveW. Seems like he wouldn't just make this up for the heck of it. Just think its cool that we can ask for an update and he will actually give one unlike most.

If two of De Leon/Bellinger/Alvarez are on the table it would indeed be awesome to get Stewart.

 

I'd be happy with two of the top three, if that's all they can talk the Dodgers out of.

 

It would be pretty sad if 2 of those 3 were offered and the Twin said, "No", and then nothing ever happens.

This source is a friend, hense I don't want to bother him or her too much. Additionally I'm not a blogger, journalist nor am I ever trying to be one, so I'm not looking for any "scoop", just reporting what my friend in one of the two orgs is saying (and have been right multiple times in the past)

 

Last I heard as mentioned was "it's still very close"

I assumed they'd pay for their own transportation home (or hitch-hike).  But any extra hotel fees would go back on the original card used to book the room.

 

On that note -- maybe the Dodgers executives raided the Twins minibar for snacks during the negotiations, and they have to fully settle that bill before the trade can proceed.

FWIW, someone tweeted De Leon, Stewart, and Lux would be cool. Berardino replied "Beyond cool"

What does "it's still very close" mean?  Close to a deal not happening?  Cryptic at best.

This thread has 19 pages of comments... soon 20. That is all.

The Twins will take the Dodger's hotel bathrobes home.

Not good enough.

 

Do you think it's possible that this friend could plant a bug in Falvey's office. That would be great!

 

Thanks in advance

They're negotiating to have Enterprise pick them up, on the Dodgers' dime.

Most viewed thread (non sticky) in a Minnesota twins board Twins Daily history!

 

30,000 page views should net you guys at least $60-$240 in revenue. Not bad for 22 hours of one thread.

That's a little misleading.

I have 121 tabs open to this article.

I haven't been this excited since the false announcement of the Scott Baker contract.

Lol as if the Twins would spend up for enterprise, it's budget all the way!

I'm not picking on Dave either, I'm just skeptical that's all.
