i doubt it,  No.  

As for right now, this team needs to quit ****ting themselves on the mound and at the plate.

Dammit, Falvey and Levine.

Sano need to be traded or DFAed!

More likely to be DFAed, on the basis that what team would want a mediocre fielding first baseman who strikes out in close to half of his at-bats.  And if you could, you'd probably be lucky to get a bag of used balls for him.

On the flip side, none of this may happen, because of the amount of money they're paying him.

Outside of the two HRs, Ryan has been in command.

Amazing. The second I say that, another HR.

Can this team do anything right?

Seattle gave up their top prospect and three more, the top bring one of the top twenty overall. So, the twins would have to give up Lewis, and three more of their top fifteen to match that. You'd be good with that?

Supposedly 3 of the top 4 or 5 minor leaguers in the Seattle system.

Oh, I didn't realize that.

On second thought, I'm fine with Falvey and Levine not going after Castillo.

No, Ryan just gave up 3 HRs tonight!   Guess he is not very good tonight.

Make that 3 HR allowed.

I said a month ago this team desperately needed another starter. I'd hoped to be proven wrong by now.... Alas, it looks even more that way than I thought.

You can see it coming.  He goes to new team.  New team tweaks his swing.  New Sano turns into what Sano was heralded to be when coming up with Twins.

A considerable understatement.

Was there a home run that Ryan actually commanded?

Yes, that wasn't about the twins matching that.... Just that he's not coming here.

Most definitely not.

So they are showcasing Sano for a trade this weekend?

They don't have enough prospects to fill all the pitching needs they have. Should have done more last winter.

All Twins starting pitchers are not very  impressive.
