I think Twins will trade Carlos Correa for at least two elite pitchers (starting pitcher and reliever). Kenta Maeda might not be playing in September. This is the "Roster Moves" thread.
July 29, 20224 yr Gio Urshela has been placed on the Paternity list with Gilberto Celestino being called back up from St. Paul.

July 30, 20224 yr Sano and Kepler to the IL, Contreras called up and Tim Beckham's contract purchased. Ober moved to the 60 day IL to make room on the 40 man.
July 30, 20224 yr Kepler has broken baby toe, assume transfer is retroactive to last Sunday when he was hit in the foot at Detroit. (Technically Monday). Sano has knee inflammation, assume he is on IL until he is traded (LOL). Now batting .083. He actually is worth nothing. A DFA would not surprise me.

Can only backdate an IL stint 3 days, so the 27th.
August 1, 20224 yr I’m not even mad at the Sano news. Someone deserving now gets their spot (back) on the roster. At least for a week…

August 1, 20224 yr Jose Godoy designated off the 40-man. Twins sent Cano back to St. Paul. Aaron Sanchez, who pitched earlier this season for the Nationals, activated to start tonight's game. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/twins-select-aaron-sanchez-designate-jose-godoy.html Celestino goes on paternity leave, so Contreras stays as Urshela is back. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sanchaa01.shtml
August 1, 20224 yr Sanchez? Ugghh! More burned-out bullpen innings incoming. Need the offense to average about 6 runs a game for the balance of the season to stay in the hunt.
August 1, 20224 yr 11 minutes ago, Vanimal46 said: I thought Contreras was already up? Do the rules around the paternity list require the team to demote him (nominally) for Urshela's return and then recall him immediately to take Celestino's place?
August 1, 20224 yr Author If Sanchez were going to the pen I wouldn't hate it, but he just doesn't have what it takes to be a starter. No surprise Godoy is off the roster, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton is next (or just off the 26 man) since I fully expect the Twins to find a backup catcher by the deadline tomorrow.
August 1, 20224 yr Yeah, that Sanchez headline on MLBTR during the flurry of trade deadline moves sure seemed like trolling. How the hell is Aaron Sanchez only 30-years-old?

The team can ease him to the pen once they trade for Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson.
August 1, 20224 yr Look out Guardians and White Sox we got Sanchez. I am sick of year after year of Twins sending out hot garbage to pitch. Falvey was supposed to be a pitching guru. You could argue we have 4 pitchers healthy who you truly trust in the playoffs in Gray, Jax, Duran. And Ryan. Who else? Last week my wife and I got rid of cable for youtubetv. BallySportsNorth was the only reason I was paying for cable. I was hesitant but don't regret it now with who the Twins bring to the mound. It was worth saving over $100 a month.

August 1, 20224 yr When Aaron Sanchez pitches to Gary Sanchez is the battery called the Sanchi or the Sanchezes? Kind of like the dual Elvis impersonators - the Elvi!.
August 1, 20224 yr 2 hours ago, USAFChief said: Either of which I'd prefer over Sanchez, and Ryan is 75 years old. Wow! I would never had guessed Joe was 75. He must have some kind of fountain of youth thing going as he looks 50 years younger?
August 2, 20224 yr I don't see this all reflected on the Twins site yet, though ... and I see that Mahle was already added to the active roster.
August 2, 20224 yr 3 minutes ago, Squirrel said: I still don't see Lopez listed yet as on the active roster ... They really don't have to add him until he is with the team.
