Forum Friday: Mixed Signals

Bullpen discussion and trade talk are present, as usual, but the community is starting to approach those topics from new angles.

Regret about the Rogers trade has subsided, according to @Jack Griffin's Checking back in with a former standout Twins reliever. It is natural to feel bad for Taylor, but also okay to feel good about putting that narrative to rest for awhile!

Looking ahead, how can the Twins improve through trade? @Rosterman may have found a good team to target in Let's Trade with the Rockies, even if the specific suggestion of this team trading for Alex Colomé seems like a cruel joke.

But sometimes the best addition comes from within, or so the saying goes, and our onetime ace starter might be that guy, says @chpettit19 in Maeda to the pen? Kenta filled that role before for the Dodgers quite well.

The Twins may also eschew the usual prospects-for-veterans trades due to their rather crowded MLB position player roster. @jorgenswestidentifies our starting third baseman as one such superfluous piece in Is there a home for Gio Urshela?

Finally, taking a break from big league worries, @DocBauer takes a tour through the organization’s backstops in our minor league forum: Catching Up With The Twins Milb Catchers. With the upcoming MLB draft, the minor league forum should provide even more illuminating discussion.
