You've got Rooker and Kirilloff knocking at the door. And if you need a guy for 2018, corner outfielders are about the easiest thing there is to find in free agency.

Get it done boys, now's the time.

Not a good idea to trade away good and young players :yes:

There's no way they would trade him in season but in the offseason if you can't agree to a deal and you have guys like Larnach and Kirilloff, why not?

one reason is that this guy has a knack for being clutch in late inning big situations. he's the type of player you want in the lineup if you're ever lucky enough to be in a WS-especially if your down a run or tied in the 8th inning or later of a game 6.

Nice to have the clutch gene, for sure. But going forward, what do you pay him when you know you two of your top prospects are corner OFers?

a problem for the FO. but kind of a reason why i'd go all in this year and see what happens. trade some of those prospects for some real legit pitching.

That would be nice -- I still think I hold onto Larnach/Kirilloff. I think Lewis makes more sense to move for a stud pitcher given you have Polanco locked up.

I'm not opposed to trading players if the price is right but if we're trading Rosario it better be for something extremely good.
Like I'm talking Wander Franco or MacKenzie Gore plus a player we can use right now.

(No, those trades would never happen. I know that. I'm just sayin.)
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.

With the possible exception of getting a guy like Scherzer you don't move one of your best hitters in your lineup at the trade deadline to improve the team in another area. In the offseason it's a different story, but not mid-season with postseason aspirations.

Fuck it. I'm back in the saddle.
I'm so tired of watching his unprofessional at bats, I'd be willing to part ways with a 30 homer, 100 RBI outfielder.
Of course it all depends on the return, but if he's the key piece in a deal for Syndegaard preferably, a #2 or some young stud I don't know, I'm just fine with it.

Hey Eddie- it's not a personal affront to see a pitch hit the catcher's mitt, FFS.
