    When ever you are trying to get the best deal you always have to be willing to walk away and I do believe we are creating this for teams to understand that we will not take a discount for him.... even if it is a "false" deadline to just create a perception that is the point. By the way I think that Deleon, Alvarez, Stewart and Bellinger would get it done... yesterday! If we add Kiriloff and say Javier to the deal....

    Not sure why time is running out...... If they get what they want and need okay if not we move on to spring training with the understanding of what we want but are not going to keep discussing. If they call and say okay we will do it under your terms next month I am guessing we say okay...

    I like your thinking but may need to be adjusted as Dodgers won't do that one.... JDL, Alverez, Puig, Kazmir for Dozier, Kiriloff, Gibson, Burdi That may be closer....

    My understanding is that the Twin's really want Bellinger along with Deleon as the main pieces. Want to get creative... send Kirilloff as part of the deal as they get a very good guy that is a few years away..... Deleon, Bellinger, Kasmir, Arruebarrena - Yaisel Sierra for Dozier, Kiriloff, Gibson We get 2 ready made prospects, 2 wildcards, and an old fart that can maybe help us. They get their man at 2nd, Gibson may be salvageable with them and Kiriloff who down the road may be a great get for them. Win/Win. In order to get this done the guys may need to think out of the box....

    Interesting thing is how different writers are getting "inside" information from our new front office. Not sure what this means but they are definitely spreading the wealth of disinformation.

    I do believe that most are over rating the Cards pitching. Weaver and Flaherty are number 3/4 starters most likely. We have a ton of those in our system so why would we move our best asset for pieces like that. Bader is okay but not great power or speed. 4th outfielder type guy. Not seeing it here unless Reyes is included. As far as Wong they would need to make space for Dozier is why he would likely need to be included. He is still young and is still decent and has shown in flashes to be pretty good. Defensively he is very solid. I too believe that we are driving up the price and want Bellinger and Deleon and Bellinger is the sticking point most likely.

    Bellinger is the issue. We want him and they don't want to give him up. We need to be patient as Dozier for de Leon as the main piece is just not enough. We need at least 3 high end prospects as "maybe" one of the 3 actually are good... not even great. At this point Dozier IS great and relatively cheap. No "need" to move him unless we get a GREAT deal.

    I am very impressed with the new management as they are dealing with the Dozier situation as they should. The Twin's NEED to get a haul from the Dodgers or whoever or don't move him! With what the Whitesox got in their deals the Twin's need to get a lot more than just De Leon. He is a very nice piece but FAR from a sure thing. I would not settle for anything less than Deleon, Alvarez and Puig. As expected Bellinger is the other key piece the Twin's want as he can be plugged in - in left and has a bigger upside than Deleon. Like any dealing you have to be willing to walk away to get what you want. If not we still have Dozier who is a star. Don't settle!!

    Pass on McCarthy with his health history. Kazmir a better option and still helps them. Kazmir, Puig, de Leon and Alvarez for Dozier, Rosario and maybe a low minor league piece to entice them.... They get huge help from right side with all star player and a nice young 4th outfielder. Minor league piece of ? Badoo? Cabbage? Wade? They also get some cap space. We get a older starter and young studs that are fairly close as well as Puig who is bit of a wildcard... lots of talent but is he or isn't he a head case.

    What you smokin' Willis? 7 Gold Gloves.....

    Not exactly sure what folks are talking about with Puig's bit contract... 6.5 and 7.5 million the next two years. For all star talent? Add de Larosa and some lower level arms and deal is done. Slot Puig in the OF and in the middle of the order to pick up the missing production. Makes too much sense. Dozier is my favorite player but for the Twins longterm winning it may need to be done.
