The thing is....who being talked about as a trade deadline candidate is a top of the rotation starter?

Re: Twins trade deadline Chat
odorizzi, berrios, bumgarner and gibson in the post-season with another legit BP arm could be enough to get it done in the post-season. under that scenario perez and pineda could potentially be moved into the pen to help out.

Re: Twins trade deadline Chat
i didn't see the OP of this little combination until now. i think that this would give the twins as good a 1-4 going into the playoffs as anybody out there. get it done and then get the BP arm that's needed-if not two arms.Small Hands wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 10:34 amI fully endorse this move.

Bumgarner is also having his first healthy season since 2016. People forget that. He's still a stud that would be our second best pitcher. A change of scenery would probably do him good.

Re: Twins trade deadline Chat
and whether the twins land bumgarner or not-it's pretty obvious that they'll be buyers now when it comes to pitching. maybe they'll find somebody even better. and BP help is going to be coming too-i'm pretty sure of that.

Need some post season cred in the rotation and the pen for that matter.

Plus Mad Bum is a lefty. We need a quality lefty in the rotation. Stroman is a righty.

Do you though? I don't care about bolstering the roster to win the division. That's pretty certain at this point. You don't need a left-handed starter vs. the Yankees. Houston's pretty RH heavy too.Small Hands wrote: ↑Sun Jun 16, 2019 11:13 am Plus Mad Bum is a lefty. We need a quality lefty in the rotation. Stroman is a righty.

Yankees have the third worst avg in the AL vs lefties

Re: Twins trade deadline Chat
I hate to be the negative nancy but don't we hear this (some big name) every single year? They are always "in" on players. Walters and Doogie are putting out exactly what the Twins told them to put out. But they never beat out the other team's deal.
I would LOVE to be wrong here but I don't think I am. It seems like Twins fans just need any reason to believe that THIS year will be different and they will believe that things will change.
I would love to eat crow on this one (and it's a good source of protein) but I've been fooled several times before.

They haven't been buyers at the deadline for a very very long time, and even when they were, they never threw big names out there. The recent big names were FA's.Da Gas Man wrote: ↑Mon Jun 17, 2019 9:06 am I hate to be the negative nancy but don't we hear this (some big name) every single year? They are always "in" on players.

This. They always have "interest" but then drag their feet while a serious team makes a serious deal.

Part of it I think was the previous regime's cowardice as well as their arrogance. We'll see if this one is different or if it's ownership nixing the "all in" deal.
In '10 we could've got Cliff Lee and we'd probably have at least an AL title banner hanging. We let him go to TX and they went to the WS while we settled for Capps and got swept by the Skanks...again.
Maybe it's different this year. I'll believe it when I see it.
