I see your point. It seems though that when he has been healthy though he has been really good. The last two years are equivalent to 69 innings (solid for a reliever) he has a 2.94 ERA

I know that the twins already have enough in the bullpen however I think that there is one more arm we could add and that is Corey Knebel I think that if we trade Pagan (or even just outright release him) and replace him with Knebel the teams pitching staff could be in the top half of the AL. We have a solid rotation with Lopez, Ryan, Gray, Mahle, and Maeda and with Knebel, Jax, Lopez, and Duran in the pen this could be a playoff ready staff if all goes well.

Corbin Burnes is upset with Brewers per MLB Trade Rumors. A trade could be incoming, should the Twins jump in on the opportunity? Here is my proposal (it will probably take a lot to get a deal done) Brewers get: Lewis, Rodriguez, Winder, Julien, and Maeda Twins get: Corbin Burnes This trade was listed as a moderate overpay on BTV. However I feel like because of the high level hitting prospects that are being given up could get the deal done. We have a logjam in the infield and corner outfield spots so it makes sense and I would rather have Lee over Lewis or Julien. View full rumor

Our bullpen is solid as it is right now. All we need to do is sign Chafin, Knebel, and Fulmer. Then we got a great team and a possibly better pen then division rivals in Cleveland and Chicago.

Exactly there are still multiple options for bullpen. Fulmer, Knebel, Chafin, and Hand would all be guys I would like to see. There are also trade possibilities for David Bednar.

Guess that is where we replace Celestino with Kepler most likely maybe toss in Wallner too.

I like Glashow and Springs for the rotation. What if we move Ober, Maeda, Celestino, and Pagan for both of them?

Any deal involving Arraez for Lopez I would reject. I would do Kepler and Larnach and maybe Pagan (just to get rid of him, cause he was a mess) for Lopez.

I realize that. It was the first thing that popped into my head. I think it would at least take Martin, Kepler, and Pagan

They can’t and here is why. 1. He won a batting title. Did the Twins trade Joe Mauer and Rod Carew? No! Why trade Arraez? 2. I have been browsing around the forums and I have seen multiple people comparing Arraez’s hitting to Tony Gwynn. If you had Tony Gwynn on your team would you trade him? No probably not. If they end up trading him for Pablo Lopez it would probably end up being one of the worst trades in franchise history. So here is my proposal for Pablo Lopez Twins get: Pablo Lopez Marlins Get: Max Kepler, Emilio Pagan, Austin Martin, and Royce Lewis Thoughts?

The only place he will contribute is Oakland. Would’ve traded him last offseason and had Miranda start opening day last year.

What would you think if the Twins extended Arraez? I would be all over it and would go Alex Anthopoulos on him and sign him to a long term yet cheap contract similar to Michael Harris’ extension 8-9 years 72-81 million.

Bauer, no. Sale, no. Lopez, definite yes. The twins rotation already has a lot of good pieces it just needs one or two more pieces and I think I would rather have Michael Wacha or a different FA instead of Sale. He has literally pitched 50 innings the past two years and is projected at 67 for 2023. I do not want to trade pieces for a starter that throws the same amount of innings as a reliever. Here is my proposal Lopez Ryan Mahle Gray Wacha Ober Trade Maeda and Paddack. Paddack gets injured a lot and Maeda is 34 and is just coming off of TJ surgery. I know Wacha and Gray are around the same age but they are really consistent with their performances and I know what to expect. Mahle, Ryan, Lopez is a really good top 3, and with Ober picking it up I think that this might be better in the long run.

Should the Twins have traded Jose Berrios?

The Twins talked to the Marlins about Pablo Lopez. Some of the other names mentioned were Max Kepler and Luis Arraez, however the Twins do not want to part ways with Arraez. View full rumor

Well now that Correa has signed back. I would trade for Pablo Lopez and Edward Cabrera. Sending Kepler, Lewis, Pagan, Martin, and PTBNL. I would then sign Chafin, Knebel, Fulmer, and Mancini. Then trade Moran, Thielbar, and a PTBNL for David Bednar.

Here is a trade proposal with the pirates Twins Get: David Bednar Pirates Get: Bailey Ober and Alejandro Hidalgo If we end up trading for one of the Marlins pitchers there will not be enough space for Ober in the rotation unless we have a six man. The Pirates want pitching and we need bullpen help. This is the perfect proposal for both sides and I hope it gets done. What are your thoughts?

I would trade him, not to the Yankees though. I would trade him as part of a package for Pablo Lopez and Edward Cabrera. Throw him in with Lewis, Martin, Pagan, and Wallner and you should have a deal.

The only one I would keep around is brooks lee. This is my idea. 1B: Miranda 2B: Polanco SS: Correa 3B: Lee DH: Arraez Trade Lewis, Martin, Kepler, Pagan, and PTNL to the Marlins for Pablo Lopez and Edward Cabrera (you could possibly trade Wallner to as the PTNL I know the Marlins want bats). Also why does everyone want to trade Arraez. He was arguably our best hitter aside from Correa. He did not go down for injury like Buxton did, he could be a solid piece to keep around and if we say extend him now and keeps this performance up we could have a great on base hitter for dirt cheap.

Should the twins go after David Bednar?

I have come up with a new proposal that I ran through BTV and was accepted. Edward Cabrera and Pablo Lopez for Kirilloff, Kepler, Martin, Lewis, and Hidalgo Thoughts?

I would totally make a deal for marlons pitching but there are two names I am not giving up at all that I keep seeing in these proposals. Arraez and Miranda this is my proposal Twins get: Pablo Lopez and Edward Cabrera Marlins get: Kepler, Kirilloff, Pagan, Thielbar The twins then sign Profar to replace Kirilloff and trade Bailey Ober to the Pirates for David Bednar. Sign Andrew Chafin and Michael Fulmer back and that is my rest of twins off-season . (This is an extremely outdated thing)

Here is my proposal Twins Get: Pablo Lopez, Edward Cabrera Marlins Get: Max Kepler, Royce Lewis, Emmanuel Rodriguez, Emilio Pagan, and a PTNL.
