A trade possibility between the Twins and the Padres? Paddock for???

[twins_89]

I'm all for a Paddock trade if the price is reasonable. I wouldn't give up Kepler or Larnach straight up for him, but there should be plenty of options to structure a fair deal. After his performance the last couple of years, Paddock shouldn't be all that expensive to acquire.

Still think it’s Kepler. Not sure how the money would work, but Wil Myers’s would fit that RH OF the Twins are missing.

Oh HECK no ...

Based on my knowledge of the this front office, Rogers for Paddock would not be a trade they make. Yes, the Twins do not give pitchers money, not even pitchers they brought up.'

BUT I also know this Twins office values a good deal, and that is not one. I'm assuming many players are being talked about, so maybe the Rogers news isn't much at all. Or this is a multiple player for multiple player trade.

It seems feasible to me that they could match up.  Maybe … Larnach for Paddack straight up?  
 

SD already traded their C depth (Caratini).  But Larnach for Paddack seems in play.  If Rodgers is included in the deal…there needs to be more Gore.

This FO just can't get out of their own way if paddock for Rogers goes down.

After the Archer signing, I was fairly certain the Twins were done dealing for this off-season, as the Oakland trade talks seemed to have stalled.  However, yesterday the As DID wind up trading Manaea, to a somewhat surprising destination - the San Diego Padres.  Why is it surprising that the Padres were the team to acquire Manaea (for an affordable price, the 12th and 24th ranked prospects in the Padres system?

Because look at the Padres’ starting rotation:

Yu Darvish

Blake Snell

Joe Musgrove

Mike Clevinger

Chris Paddack

Nick Martinez

and now Sean Manaea, too.  That seems like seven pitchers for five rotation spots.

But wait, there’s more.  Note that they have:

(working back from injury) Dinelson Lamet

(top prospect/top 10 pick) Ryan Weathers

(shine has come off the rising star of former top prospect) Mackenzie Gore

Starting pitching depth is not the only thing the Padres have that the Twins need.  They also have four viable catchers on their 40-man roster, including 

Austin Nola

Victor Caratini

(top prospect) Luis Campesano

(recently acquired) Jorge Alfaro.

The Padres are looking for outfielders.  They’ve apparently explored trading for Brian Reynolds of the Pirates (for a potential price of Paddack, Weathers, and likely more), but that hasn’t materialized.

It seems like the two teams match up well in terms of a trade, and even more so after the Padres added yet another starter.  The Twins have outfield options that they could send to San Diego, such as Max Kepler or Trevor Larnach, or even Luiz Arraez, who would immediately take on a Tony Gwynn like sheen in San Diego.

For what it’s worth, the site Baseball Trade Values has the following values:

Arraez 27.6

Kepler 23.6

Larnach 22.6

 

SD SPs

Paddack 17.4

Gore 14.1

Manaea 14.1

Weathers 10.1

Lamet 1.5

 

SD Cs

Campusano 22.2

Caratini 1.9

 

It seems feasible to me that they could match up.  Maybe Gore, Lamet and Caratini for Kepler and a Twins prospect or two?  Or maybe Larnach for Paddack straight up?  
 

What do people think is a realistic trade?  

Gore is 100% untouchable.

Paddack doesn't seem like a needle-mover to me. Don't give up Rogers or Arraez and regret it in 3 months.

If a team claims Upton, they pay his contract.  However, If Upton clears waivers and is released, any team subsequently employing him only pays him the MLB minimum. The Angels pay the rest of his contract. 

 

Zero chance he gets claimed. But I'd wager there's A HIGH percent chance he plays in the big leagues this season.

 

I wouldn't be opposed to Upton as a 4th outfielder.

Oh yeah, definitely do not claim him then.  I see, a team could pick him up after he clears waivers and not pay him anything.  Then if he gets hot could use him as trade bait for something else?

Just commenting to give the OP a pat on the back, you scooped everyone!

Looks like this is gonna happen!
