MLB trade discussion.......Its on!

[Rock Me Abbrederis]

Eduardo would be good trade bait. All time high on trade value and loaded with prospects at the position.

Not sure how much we could expect in return though. Not so long ago, the Twins had another Eduardo who was in a similar position (peak season, soon to be free agent, approaching 30), and all he landed us was Mejia.

At the time, Mejia was a top 100 prospect

I dont recall Mejia ever being a top 100. Quick search shows him as the #12 prospect in the Giants organization the year he got traded, and #9 in the Twins organization the year he got here. This according to mlb.com.

What are your personal takes on who you would/ wouldn't trade?
Personally...I would always listen to an offer for any player, but some I'd need to be "wow'ed" more on.
Needing the "wow"?
Rosario
Berrios

Guys I expect to be moved...
Lynn
Dozier
Escobar
Rodney
Sano

(The one that would probably gather interest also will never be traded...Mauer)

I would sell high on Rosario. I don't buy that he can be "Special" year in and out. Reminds me of another Dozier type.

If they trade Sano, they should just flush this thing down the toilet and take another decade to rebuild. I don't see him moved right now.

For me it's Sano and Berrios and everyone else can be had. I understand if the relationship with Sa no is unrepairable though but I have no clue on that.

Not taking your trolling bait...

Imo, Berrios needs to be kept long term.

As another poster mentioned, I'd sell high Rosario. Everyone else on your list should be on the trading block as well.

[full force five]

Move guys: Rodney, Lynn, Dozier. I would need to blown away to trade Sano, both Eddies and Berrios is untouchable.

In return, receive plethoras of pitching, and a MLB catcher.

I don't disagree...
As I said...."Wow" me? I listen...to an offer on anybody...at anytime..(Heck, if I was the Angels I'd listen to offers on Trout...probably laugh at them though)

The 5 I mentioned I think will be traded are for ez reasons...
1-4 have contract situations that make them ez moves....low risk.
#5....
I think the Twins might just be at a point with him..
Off field issues...
Lack of performance..
The weight..

If this organization views Escobar as untouchable, they needed to work on a new deal for him asap. Like yesterday.

[jakazz30]

For those that view Sano as "untouchable"......

I guess you are just "chicks that dig the long ball"..
because there is nothing else he has shown in his time with the Twins..

Look at the numbers..

and then throw in the "non-baseball" related issues?

Why trade Rosario? He is pretty young and turning into a really good player. He's like one of the last guys that need to be traded right now.

Rosario is one of two franchise players on this team. Unless, they are going to completely blow this thing up, I wouldn't trade Berrios or Rosario. Sell Escobar today. See what you can get for Joe and Dozier too. Neither of those guys are team leaders.

Joe is not moving, but I agree with everything else you wrote

Rosario is very streaky. I don't want him traded, but if there's a team that's willing to give you a haul in return I'd definitely think about it.

The pace he's on this year is likely an outlier and, imo, last year's numbers is where he'll settle in (which are still very good: .290, 27 HR, 78 RBI, .836 OPS).

[jakazz30]

Keep a close eye on tonight's game....
A trade might be imminent.
Frank Wren of the Red Sox is in attendance.
Bryan Mata was pulled from his start tonight..

Rodney? Dozier?

[Rock Me Abbrederis]

I wish we could get Mata, but I doubt we have the pieces...

[jakazz30]

Hmmmm....
I really had kinda forgotten about him.
I suppose he might get 2 starts in right at the 1st deadline...

Jon Heyman of Fancred reported that the Yankees have been talking to the Twins about acquiring big Erv. That also have interest in Gibby, Odorizzi, and Lynn.

[jakazz30]

I figured it was only a matter of time before his name would start surfacing...I can understand why teams would want him for BP depth:
