    Giants are waving the white flag? Pomeranz has been dealt to the Brewers. Twins should snap up a Dyson or a Smith!

    Elias from the M's is now also off the board. Nats got him as well.

    Interesting and good catch! Although I will say that one of their followers is the Minnesota Timberwolves team account. Not that it means anything....but yeah it's weird for sure.

    He probably is looking at Odorizzi, Gibson, and Pineda leaving the team this year. And Cruz will be gone as well. Contracts for guys like Rosario will expire in a couple of years as well. Guys like Kiriloff and Lewis aren't sure things by any stretch of the imagination. The team the Twins has is good right now, and many players are right in the prime of their careers at this time.

    Washington Nationals have snagged Daniel Hudson. Word is that the Nats are not done and also seeking Elias from the M's as well.

    No kidding. We'll have plenty of time to think about 2020....in 2020! The time is NOW, the year is THIS ONE! Let's grab another arm, boys!

    I'll be disappointed, and let down. Not really ANGRY but yeah, I'll have the blues.

    I'm guessing we'll pull the deal on maybe one more mid-tier reliever. My prediction: Romo's the biggest name the Twins acquire here at the deadline. Right or wrong, the FO can point to the overall record and say "we're good enough as we are, we'll take our chances with the team we have". We'll see in a few hours! Crazy to see Cleveland SUBTRACT pitching while in a pennant race. Guess when you have Kluber back in 2 weeks the move doesn't look too bad.

    Yeah, I agree - don't think the Twins could have beat that deal: primarily because the Jays didn't think our deal was any good. They wanted either Lewis or Kiriloff, and if they were firm on that, Twins had no chance to make a trade.

    Neither are listed in the Top 100 prospect list from MLB pipeline. I think Kay is just outside the top 100, and you're right he's not garbage. But still a shocker from my perspective and I don't think I'm alone.

    Wow, Mets asked for Buxton in the Syndegaard deal? Seriously that's just wrong on so many levels. And the Blue Jays' asking price for Stroman demanded that one of either Lewis or Kiriloff be included? And then they took the garbage pile prospects from the Mets? I don't get it. MLBTradeRumors article says Twins have pivoted to look for more bullpen arms now. Okay, okay, let's get some already and play ball!

    The season Minor is having reminds me way too much of Martin Perez. An average to below average lefty who's been bashed in prior years who is getting lucky with smoke and mirrors. I wish I felt like you do about Minor, but I feel like he's on a lucky streak and history points to that streak ending very soon.
  13. bighat
    They'll end up with one of the less-inspiring guys from the starters listed. I'm guessing Minor or Leake. They may also add another reliever in a similar mold, maybe Kennedy or something like that. They'd better stay far away from Lance Lynn and not even entertain the idea. The bats are going to have to carry this team all the way.

    At this point you can't justify sending Arraez down. Sure, if he was on fire for a week or two, that's one thing. But the kid is on absolute fire and I don't think anyone in the Twins clubhouse, ownership, or front office are interested in sending him down. It ain't gonna happen. So yeah that leaves Schoop as the odd man out. And that's okay. Remember, the Dodgers unloaded Logan Forsythe on the Twins last year. He had just a half-season remaining on the deal. The Twins got something extra back from Los Angeles by taking him on. So, the Twins can foist Schoop onto another team, but they'll have to probably give up a higher ranked prospect if they do a deal with Schoop included.

    I was kinda joking about that, I know that a RT flight from Chicago-MIA isn't much for an MLB team. Just thought it was kinda funny that - of all places - the Twins go to Miami today.
  16. bighat
    One school of thought says this means they're going to move Syndergaard. Stroman is under control for 2020 so he'll essentially replace Thor, and the Mets will replace the prospects they lost in the Stroman deal with better prospects when they trade Syndergaard. In the end though, it's one more pitcher gone off the market. Nice to see the rebound game. More. Of. This. Cleveland lost and Bauer blew a gasket, all very nice to see while winning in a laugher. Taking 3 of 4 on the road against any MLB team is a great series. Was Romo in the bullpen today? Twins wasted a plane ticket, could have just left him in Miami and met him there. How about a good old fashioned hot streak right about now? 5-6 wins in a row would be just what the doctor ordered. Create some space.

    I'm going to press pause on my frustration-o-meter for this game. If the Twins win Sunday's game, all is forgiven with this clunker. If they lose, I'll be extra grouchy. Nibbly Gibby is on the hill for a huge game. His last big game test against the Yankees did not go well. Twins need this guy to perform at his best from here on out, can't just rely on Berrios any more.
  18. bighat
    Here I am, commenting away thinking this is the game thread. Ha. Sorry all.

    Honestly I think this team could win a 1-game wild card series. They can compete with Houston, Tampa, and Cleveland. They can't win a series against the Yankees - but...can anyone in baseball compete with the NYY? That lineup is ridiculous. Embarrassed for the bullpen guys, getting pantsed every night. Exasperated witht the starting pitching. At the beginning of the year, we all thought Berrios might be the only guy worth anything. The smoke has cleared and sadly that is the case. Feel sorry for the offense: Rosario, Cruz, Polanco, Kepler - guys putting up monster numbers and scoring 7, 8, 10 runs per game and coming up with losses. Ashamed of the front office. PS - Kluber's coming back in a couple weeks, the Indians are only getting better and they don't need to make a trade to do it. If the Twins don't win the division or don't make the playoffs, the 14-12 loss to the Yankees will go down as the season's flagship moment.

    I think the magic dust Perez was using ran out a month ago. He's only really had one OK start in his last 7-8 appearances. If we can match him up against KC or Detroit he might get it done, and I think at this point the Twins are kinda stuck with Perez. I'm not thrilled about it but what can we do? Great work from the pen to hang on to this lead. I predict Gibby brings his A-game tonight and gives the Twins a quality start. Would be ecstatic if the Twins could take this series.
  21. bighat
    I noticed that this morning when I checked the box score. I nodded silently in approval.
  22. bighat
    Three game lead now!?!? I'm starting to have a bit of anxiety about the possibility of the Yankees coming to town and sweeping the Twins while the Indians overtake them in the division. That would be the worst... BUT. You have to play the games. Twins win today and we're back in the groove. Let's be positive. Win today and tomorrow and we take the series. One game at a time. What happened to this juggernaut offense? How about an ole' fashioned 11-5 drubbing tonight to cure what ails us? The front office can motivate the Twins by announcing a big trade today, I can feel it in my bones, they've got to be pulling the trigger on a deal any minute now.
  23. bighat
    I have to agree, and sticking to that theme we should also feel similarly about guys like Larnach and Kiriloff to be honest. "Larnach should fill in for Rosario" is assuming a LOT. Don't get me wrong, this was a great post from the OP and I love getting into the details here. But I do think it's wise to remind everyone that minor league talent is no good to the professional team unless they can play at the MLB level. We simply don't know that yet.
  24. bighat
    Don't agree with the Sano comment. Do agree with the 5 runs comment.
  25. bighat
    That's how it felt to me also - Twins have their first 3-game winning streak, Cleveland hasn't lost since the Taft administration, down 2 runs late....Eddie freaking Rosario hits a PH homer to bring this team back. Here's hoping this Twins team can take this momentum and win this series. Taking 3-of-4 from Oakland would be absolutely huge. Let's get another one tonight.
