  1. I agree the comments had the same tone, but the Twins also gave up a top 100 prospect for Maeda, while they gave up a borderline top-20 Twins prospect (from a position of strength) for Odorizzi. So in that sense let's hope Maeda produces even better than Odorizzi.
  2. Eddie straight up for Alcantara is a long shot. First, Alcantara is under control through 2024, Rosario is through 2021...the Marlins aren't exactly in win-now mode. Even if they were, the Twins would have to add either multiple mid-level prospects or one prospect in the 4-6 range to Rosario to get the Marlins attention
  3. Pillar fits the biggest need in my opinion. As alluded to, he is good Buxton insurance. Also, his career numbers vs LHP make him a nice option for when you want to give Rosario or Kepler a day off (though both did have improved numbers vs LHP last year)
  4. Probably as fearful as the Twins pitcher knowing that two of those three would be behind him in the field.
  5. To further prove your last point: With the new three-batter minimum rule starting in 2020, there may not be LOOGY's on any teams next year. It will be incumbent on all lefty relievers to be able to get right-handed hitters out too.
  6. Rooker is also currently hurt, so he's not an option right now either. If you are saying no to Kirilloff and Larnach, your options are probably de Aza, Barnes, or Wiel...
  7. The Twins made a trade...Marcos Diplan from the Brewers for cash considerations. Feels weird to be on this end of a cash considerations trade
  8. Would it be worth it? Absolutely. Would the Pirates do it? I highly doubt it. In your proposal, you'd likely have to include BOTH Balazovic and Duran. That would be closer to fair value, and a pretty hard pill to swallow.
  9. Seems heavy for the Twins. Just Graterol and Gordon should net you Ray, plus probably Bradley and Chafin (which I would do).
