    Even if the only difference is which arm they throw with, it gives them a lefty in the rotation which the Twins always seem to want. This trade then eliminates the need for Milone too.

    Make it 111%. The Mod Note was not aimed at Mike's comment. I can usually take a joke, even on a day when Kurt Suzuki wasn't traded. Which I guess is just about every day.

    ****Moderator Note***** Let's keep this thread on the topic of the Twins trades.
  4. nicksaviking
    How about just re-siging him as a free agent instead? An extension almost surely will require two additional years of commitment. If the Twins really, really super-duper want him, even they can afford to make him the top offer this off season, and maybe in the off season he will only require a one year deal.

    If it was only about Meyer and Nolasco, I'd rather do the same. Santiago has some scary peripherals, but if he does in 2017 what he did the past couple of years, the Twins could get back a pretty nice return this time next year. Could is the operative word of course, but I'm all for a gamble. I was a huge Meyer guy, I've lost faith in the last couple months though. This absence with little info seems so ominous.

    So just throwing it out there; last time Kurt Suzuki didn't get traded at the deadline and decided to keep him, he got extended.
  7. nicksaviking
    Uh wait a second. I just saw that Alan Busenitz, the throw in guy the Twins got from the Angels is also from Kennesaw State, just like Light. Is that a coincidence?
  8. nicksaviking
    Rosenthal tweets it's Nolasco and Meyer. So basically we gave up Meyer to dump Nolasco? Not sure I'm upset about that. And Santiago could be a gem of a trade piece next year.

    The whole team needs to be placed on waivers at 3:01, hoping that some of these guys don't get claimed simply because the active teams are still trying to figure out their 25 and 40-mans.

    I can't imagine it's anything less than the GDP of Canada at this point.

    Dillon Tate for two months of Carlos Beltran?! Come ON! I'm torn on a Santana trade. I want some action, but I'm also worried Anthony isn't going to get the right value.
  12. nicksaviking
    That's interesting. And it makes me feel better.
  13. nicksaviking
    Wouldn't the Giants rather have had Santana? This board would have been in hysteria.
  14. nicksaviking
    This Santana stuff is exciting. Just so long as the front office hasn't forgotten to have someone manning the Suzuki and Kintzler phones.
  15. nicksaviking
    Fine by me, we still have an hour and a half left. Of course my work will suffer.
  16. nicksaviking
    Jeremy's Twitter is also linking a Berardino Tweet about how the Giants have also long had interest in Santana. Jeremy's response is asking for Phil Bickford. That was clearly just spitballing. A good spitball though.
  17. nicksaviking
    Plan can change especially pending the returns they get and the pieces they move at the deadline. I wouldn't be surprised if they back off of the Duffey to the pen bit in favor of Chargois.
  18. nicksaviking
    The Twins know that the deadline is 3:00 CST not 12:30 right?
  19. nicksaviking
    Seems a little Light to me
  20. nicksaviking
    Does he go right to the pen? I'm fine if he does, but not at the continued expense of Chargois. Regardless of what happens today, Chargois should be up. Three months ago.
  21. nicksaviking
    Out of curiosity do you have his service time numbers? My go-to for that stuff is BBR and it's not showing when he becomes a free agent likely due to the major league contract he signed when drafted. My feelings on him would change if he's still controllable beyond 2018.
  22. nicksaviking
    I'm not sure of the intricacies of him singing a major league deal upon being drafted, but he's already out of options and it appears to me that he'll have four years of service time under his belt after this year. I would think that Bundy would only have two years left before becoming a free agent. As much as I'd like him as a high ceiling guy, one would have to think the odds that Santana is healthy and productive the next two years is much, much greater than Bundy. I'd want a ton more than Bundy for Santana if both are free agents following the 2018 season. It's not like you're getting a guy who is controllable for a long period of time.
  23. nicksaviking
    The reports were that he rejected it because he wanted Cleveland to void his 2017 option so he'd become a free agent sooner. This was driven be the fact that Cleveland wouldn't guarantee he would be the full time catcher next year when Gomes returned, Cleveland said he would play some 1B and DH, which could diminish his leverage when becoming a free agent. As much as it's fun to think he just hates Cleveland, he was simply doing what was best for his future.
  24. nicksaviking
    Yeah after contending last year there were lots of posts on TD about the Twins trading for him. It's probably safe to then rationalize that Lucroy is an ardent Twins Daily reader.

    Just like college, I know how to kill a party. This place is dead anyway.
