Trade to be announced


AZTwin

Recommended Posts

This has been a fun day, but we really need one more starter. The back of the rotation still is fully capable of sinking this season. Doesn't even have to be an elite guy just someone capable of going five and not getting lit up. If the Pohlad's can be talked into bumping the payroll; Snell or Alex Cobb or Alex Wood, Eovaldi. Anyone to shore up the back end.

"Mahle already on the Twins 26 man roster on mlb.com"

He is the 27th man, haven't optioned or designated anyone yet.  Lopez hasn't been added, so the Twins have to remove 2 pitchers.

I believe Cano was on the 26man roster, so Lopez replaced him.

Do they list a corresponding move yet? Will need a spot on the 26-man and 40-man.

edit: looks like Cotton is gone, among possible other moves

 

heh ... I just posted that tweet in the Rosters thread

I know we're all pretty fixated on what our boys are doing, but has anyone been watching the Pads? They're going bat-sh*t crazy!

Yeah they're well over the luxury tax threshold now.

Looking at the Twins website ... Lopez was added to the 40-man, but hasn't been activated yet

Unless Kirilloff is going on the 60-day, don't they need to clear another spot? Cotton gone for Mahle. Who is Cave bumping?

As stated above ... Cano was moved, so Mahle was put on in his place ... and Lopez will replace Cotton. But yeah ... not sure wha the corresponding move will be if they activate Cave

I'm a little confused why they would cut Cotton but not Joe Smith.

It's going to take a while to sort out the 40-man "cuts" from the 26-man "cuts", and the page at mlb.com that I always rely on is going to be a work-in-progress for the next several hours. 

I'm a little disappointed Strotman hasn't figured into either trade so far.  Must speak to him having 0 trade value.  He'd be a DFA candidate, once the team knows for sure how many 40-man spots they actually need.  They might not know, themselves, for another 65+ minutes anyway.

As was fully expected, the Twins land a backup catcher as Caleb Hamilton was not going to cut it. Leon should be up sooner than later.

Not only are the White Sox and Guardians mostly sitting out this trade deadline, one of them is sending us (admittedly minor) reinforcements.

Funny, this is the one I think could bite the Twins the most. Hamilton seems like one of those journeyman nobodies that Cleveland could turn into a bullpen weapon.

Perhaps, but the Twins have neglected him for so long that it's not much different from cutting him and Cleveland picking him up. The Twins weren't going to call him up, so it's no loss on our end.

Well I'll be nervous if he takes the mound with the Twins down a run against Cleveland this year.
