    Vasquez was with Boston when the Stros were banging the trash cans.
  2. CRF
    Not a trade for Murphy, but Vasquez will do.
  3. CRF
    BOUT DAMN TIME! Let's keep it going!

    Milwaukee definitely got the best of this thing. If I was Atlanta, I'd rather keep Contreras, than trade to get Murphy. It doesn't add up. It sure doesn't help us at all...I'd love to have Murphy or Contreras, but it's a pretty strange deal.
  5. CRF
    I know it's not really the way it is...but it sure seems like we're stuck in neutral, when other teams have the pedal to the metal. We need to get something going. Here's just a few FA names still available. Vasquez and Narvaez are still out there. We sure need a catcher. Infielders: Obviously, Correa and Swanson are available, along with Iglesias. Drury is still out there. Outfielders: Gallo, Benintendi, Myers, Conforto, Mancini are still out there. The pitchers are mostly gone. Unless you want Archer, Bundy, Hill, Pineda, or Sanchez back. I sure don't. I don't know if any of those guys does anything for you, but it would be nice if we make a move or two. Maybe get a few trades going. I know it's a long way until next season, but the pickings are getting thin already.

    DAMN! Why does it seem like we're not even in the mix for anyone other than Correa? Bassitt is the kind of guy that we should've been looking at. At this years FA prices, that's a bargain. Another pitcher gone.
  7. CRF
    Definitely a little early for those lower tier FA's. Probably won't be until closer to ST with them, once the rosters are more set. My money is on the Pirates for Sano.

    ...and the rich get richer. He would've looked good in a Twins uni, but I'm sure our FO didn't want to give the A's enough to get him..
  9. CRF
    You're absolutely 100% correct and I agree completely. That's the way the Twins do business. Imo, the thing/problem is...there's always going to be a team, and possibly several teams, that ARE willing to overpay for a player. Sometimes you have to be willing to do that, to get what you want. The Twins need to be flexible enough to make an exception, when the situation dictates it. I'm not saying that they should way overpay for Correa, or Vasquez, or whomever...just that they need to consider doing that, rather than having a flat, cutoff dollar figure.

    More information about "Gleeman Reports Twins Have Made Correa Substantial Offer"
    Happened to see this... in a recent article, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic, The Twins have offered Correa "a massive contract far beyond anything in franchise history". No specifics yet as to what that offer entails.

    I can't see the Yanks going after Correa, that's baloney. They're going after pitching, not a SS. It's the Giants, Cubs, and us...and I'm not real keen on our chances right now. It's pretty clear that the FO is completely focused on CC, or possibly Swanson, because they're not doing anything. Nothing will happen until we find out where those two guys go.
  13. CRF
    Arraez is 25 and just won a batting title. If that's as good as he's gonna get, that's still pretty damn good. I think his power numbers will probably improve over time. He's shown he can turn on an inside fastball and give it a ride at times. Remember, Rod Carew and Tony Gwynn were considered "contact hitters" too, and they turned out pretty well.
  14. CRF
    Let's face it...there's no way they're going to sign Rodon. Bassitt would be a much more affordable option, and probably better long term. He's not an "ace", but he's very solid and durable. They also have to get a catcher in here. Whether it's Vasquez or Narvaez...get one of them. I don't know what's going to happen with CC, but it would be great to get him to stay here. We also all know the pen needs some help. The FO needs to get going on this stuff before all the desirable players are scooped up by other teams. Time to get moving.
  15. CRF
    I'm sure some of you keep better tabs on this subject than I do, but I don't recall Kep saying anything whatsoever about not wanting to play CF, or that he prefers RF...he really doesn't say much of anything in the media at all. No doubt he's excellent in RF, and he's definitely above average in CF. That doesn't take away from what concerns most, if not all of us...that is, his hitting. He's turned into a total liability at the plate. He's killing us at the front end of the lineup, and Rocco just keeps putting him at lead off, or at least in the top five, every time he plays.
  16. CRF
    No matter what you think of our FO, I'd be willing to bet that they're "kicking the tires" on several trades with several teams. Maybe they do something soon...maybe they don't. We'll see what develops.
  17. CRF
    I'll believe it when I see it.
  18. CRF
    The has to be better options than Hamels. Imo...this seems like another JA Happ, Homer Bailey, Matt Shoemaker kind of scenario.
  19. CRF
    According to Doogie, the Twins have made an offer to get Vasquez. We'll see what happens.
  20. CRF
    So you're telling me...there's a chance? Mostly good news there, that's for certain. Hard to see us winning a battle for him with SF, but you never know. It's definitely very quiet on the Twins front right now. I don't know if that's good or bad.
  21. CRF
    Swanson is very solid. I'd be happy with that.
  22. CRF
    Great story!
  23. CRF
    It's still a little bit early, but there's been a lot of activity so far. Nothing by our FO. It's starting to look like...unless we somehow can resign CC, we're gonna get skunked. Then, we'll get the same old story about how they tried and made very competitive offers, but couldn't land who they wanted. Sad.
  24. CRF
    Oh darn...I thought we had a real shot at getting him!
  25. CRF
    The Rangers must be printing money with the amount they're spending over the past couple years...wow!
