Trade to be announced

[bunsen82]

what did they give up for Fulmer?

[AstrosTwins]

Fulmer is a nice bullpen addition.

[bunsen82]

Sawyer Gipson Long - that was one of the 4 prospects at risk of rule 5.

Michael Fulmer!

 

Weird.

Terry Ryan always fell head over heels in love with guys who owned us.

Falvine dig guys we own.

Fulmer, kinda meh, but an upgrade.  SGL goes back.

[Battle ur tail off]

We will take him. And for nothing basically. 

Not sure but looks like he is having a nice season. More arms. Now let the DFA train begin...

[weitz41]

Fulmer! was hoping they got him. Already owns the divisions hitters. Nice 6-8 inning option. OK why not go for broke and get Wilson Contreas and a rental starter!

[Hrbowski]

Yankees have been told they are out on Lopez, either means he is staying put or coming to the Twins

Fulmer didn't look all that great last night, but he's been ok this season for the Tigers. He's an upgrade over some of our current pen arms. 

[SwainZag]

Lopez staying put in Miami

We should know fairly soon if they were able to pull this one off. Wouldn't that be a kicker!

Cardinals just got Jordan Montgomery, so maybe they're out on Lopez too.

Now we just let the last few trade announcements trickle in.  There are always a few.  

If this was all the Twins did though, I'm not mad about it. 

[PseudoSABR]

Rodon nor Contreas seem to be going anywhere, surprisingly. 

[PseudoSABR]

Guardians and Whitesox stand pat, essentially conceding the division.  

[Danchat]

One starter, two relievers and a backup catcher was what I wanted... and we got exactly that. Maybe we needed an outfielder, but they'll have to make due with what they've got. Not bad, Falvine... now let's see how this team performs.

Blue Jays got Whit Merrifield. Would have bee a nice addition given the MASH unit in the OF.

[LA VIkes Fan]

Tremendous haul and all for prospects. Well done. 

[Craig Arko]

Expectations exceeded. 

[ChineseGandalf]

I am relieved that we did not trade Kiriloff or Miranda (and we still got good arms). I was very concerned that the front office was considering mortgaging the future for a rental (even a 1.3 yr rental) for one of those players. I am happy with where we are at for 2023 as well, as we have quite a few good arms that will be around next year, barring injury.

I think Povich was the only top arm we gave up, and of course Steer was a top prospect. However, Steer was logjammed considering Polanco/Arraez/Miranda and hopefully Lewis on the team next year, as well as perhaps Correa. 

[nicksaviking]

Good day today. Still didn’t win the division today though. With only one new starter the 4-6 starters are pretty much cemented as Archer, Bundy snd Sanchez. Really could use a miracle with Winder, Ober, Canterino or Balazovic.

Guess already owning him kept the acquisition price down.

One of the better trade deadlines for our Twins IMO.#3 starter and two late inning BP arms and most of our prospects that were traded are blocked by current and long term players Would have liked another starter and offensive catcher but all in all nice haul. Plus White Sox and Guardians didn't do anything. I hope we went from 50/50 odds of making the playoffs to 70/30. I'm sure there'll be some injuries and some ugly games ahead, but these additions should make them easier to overcome. Well done FO
