Molitor said on the pre game radio show, that they both arrived this morning. Said Duffey was available tonight, said Austin would play tomorrow and Sunday.

Yep, I agree with you 100% on Duffey.

According to LEN III and others, Duffey is taking Rodney's place. And Austin is being called up also, although no corresponding move has been made yet. I want to see Austin, I don't need to see Duffey.

Also reading that Austin is coming up, but the corresponding move hasn't been made. I've seen enough of Duffey.

Interesting trade, I guess it makes sense moving Rodney when he doesn't fit. The Twins will probably need to sign a closer in the off season.

Hildy is blocking one of the AAA relievers!

6 prospects is not a huge sample size, but it definitely seems to be a trend. It is concerning.

I really don't know about his defense, I was just looking off the numbers. I never thought Goodrum would get a run like this in the bigs. Good for him though.

Not going to lie, I am surprised by Goodrum's success.

I think he has hit the AAA wall. He's pretty young, he still has another year or two before I'd be too concerned.

I'm just stating my opinion, feel free to be upset if you like. Adding two players to the organization that they feel are worthy is not a big deal to me. A 31 year old reliever could possibly help the team for multiple seasons, or he could end up in Rochester. I don't know, but it's another option the FO seems to think will help. From what I've read, his numbers certainly seem to be as good in the minors as the AAA pitchers. I don't see the outrage.

Going to the 8th inning, should they put Drake in?

I understand that Mike, but this is such a little thing. Would have I picked up Drake, probably not. The FO is trying to continue to add players. At least they are trying unlike the previous FO who largely stood pat on everything.

Be upset then, I'll wait for things to play put or for something important to happen before I get fired up.

You sure can tell it's a losing season, everything that's happens has people here all upset.

So end up with nothing. No thanks.

Seems reasonable Mike. I would keep Wilson because we don't have another catcher and the pitchers, especially Berrios, like throwing to him and are comfortable with him. That helps their development. I agree 100% on Gordon. No reason to push this season and possibly mess him up. If people need to see him so bad, go to Rochester. I'd like to see Austin and I would also keep Garver in the line up more as a DH. He can catch 3 out of 5 and DH 1 or 2.

For how long? Why not let things play out before getting riled up?

What were they supposed to do? Not trade Dozier and Escobar and end up with nothing? Our owners will never allow them to win FA wars, this is the only way.

Getting fired up over two waiver pick up's is mind boggling to me. If Drake is blocking anyone from AAA the rest of the season, then maaaaayybbbee, I'd be a little annoyed. This is finding a reason to get upset.

Obviously to enough to keep Escobar. As a fan, Escobar was my favorite guy to watch, but the FO's job is not to be a fan. Keeping and losing him would have been like the days of Terry Ryan and a big worthless mistake.

So it's a good idea to keep a player who will not extend? Makes zero sense.

So do not trade the guy who's team rejected an extension?

I've seen numerous times that Escobar's team rejected an extension, so why wouldn't you trade him?

I would take that as well, but do you remember the days when the Twins were winning AL Central Titles regularly? We were told it's no big deal since we couldn't win a World Series.
