I hope this isn't the only other move: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/twins-acquire-sandy-leon-from-guardians.html Edit: Ooops. Wrong thread.

I believe Cano was on the 26man roster, so Lopez replaced him.

They can't trade him this year. @Irishman did qualify that with "next year". No big deal though. Lots of stuff happening. I almost made the same comment.

It depends on who they get back. I wouldn't like it, but I'd do it for certain players.

I can't express how happy I am with this trade. I liked the prospects they gave up for Mahle, but I'd rather take my chances with Mahle this year (and next) then the unknown guys that may never make it.

We still have almost 2 hours left. Let's hope more is coming!

I think they were trying to stay under the luxury tax, but maybe they said screw it and decided to go all in. But I could still see them shedding some payroll. I'd be in for Clevenger or Snell.

That player is Hosmer.

MacKenzie Gore also included in the deal. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/report-padres-on-the-verge-of-acquiring-juan-soto.html

The day is still young. Maybe they're saving those players for a Lopez or Mahle trade.

BB reference says he won't be eligible for FA until 2025. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lopezjo02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral

Sounds like Yennier Cano is also headed to Baltimore. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/orioles-trade-jorge-lopez-twins-closer.html

I just saw a tweet from Hector Gomez that said the "Cardinals are intensifying pursuing on Juan Soto. They have been much more aggressive of late in their trade proposals". -1:56 PM ?‍♂️

And apparently, the Padres are acquiring Josh Hader from the Brewers... Seems like a strange move for Milwaukee, depending on the return. Taylor Rogers is part of the return: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/08/brewers-trade-josh-hader-padres.html

SWR started in Wichita yesterday. So, he's not out for the year.

I should hope not much. The Twins are already paying his salary this year.

This?

And cheap Pohlads.

Let's hope the FO doesn't confuse round 20 with their fantasy football draft and end up drafting a kicker.

I'm just glad that we're not going to have to wait a month to find out which picks they sign anymore.

Now let's see if they can sign him.

Two rounds today, two catchers!
