Any time you have a chance to acquire an ace and you don’t do it as a GM you fail to do your job. I know many here value prospects and Twins prospects above all else. The facts are that most prospects don’t make it, and one of the comments above said it well. None of these prospects are top of the line guys, and as much as I personally love watching Arraez ABs his knees are never going to get better. Duran is likely a BP guy, and Strotman doesn’t project high. The SS might not even be in the organization had he not been a first round pick. My question is why does anyone think that this trade inspires action from the A’s? If the Twins can get 2 years of an ace for that group of players it’s a GM’s duty to do it.
