Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Justin Topa is the first name I've seen. Solid relief pitcher.

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Descalfani is now their 5th/6th starter depending on what they do with Varland.
Guy is on the Dylan Bundy-level.

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Yeah, not impressed with him. Topa and Gonzalez look like solid additions, but we really need another starter.

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
I don't have a clue about the guys we're getting in return. Jorge will be missed but Julien looks to be the real deal and hopefully can produce similar or better results. Also, don't forget that Brooks Lee is likely to make his MLB debut this season and there just wasn't room for Jorge, Edward, and Brooks all on the roster...

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Topa makes up for letting Pagan walk.
But Descalfani isn't even at Maeda's level. Seattle just traded Robbie Ray (for Descalfani and Mitch Haniger). Missed chance to buy low on a former Cy Young winner.

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
I assume this makes the Pohlad's happy by shedding more payroll, and they got cash in return!

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Sounds like Seattle is going to pay a significant chunk of Descalfani's salary. Hopefully that leads to another move. This guy was shutdown last year due to elbow injuries and just isn't reliable.

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
I would’ve preferred we looked into trading lee to fix the logjam at 2nd, try to sell high on a prospect. Without polanco we’re now relying on Correa and buxton (anytime he isn’t injured) to provide a veteran presence on the team. This, along with the idea to slash payroll, indicates ownership and management aren’t prioritizing trying to build on the momentum from last year.Hornets wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 7:32 pmI don't have a clue about the guys we're getting in return.

Will miss his bat, not so much the glove. Hopefully Julien isn't what Miranda was to 2023.

Took a peak at a Seattle chat board and most seemed to be happy with the deal....

Re: Jorge Polanco to Seattle
Ankle, knee and hamstring injuries limited Polanco to 80 games in 2023. He was productive when available, slashing .255/.335/.454 with 14 home runs, 48 RBI and six stolen bases. Polanco has played at second base and shortstop with the Twins, with his past three seasons spent primarily at second base.Miley Cyrus wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2024 8:36 pmHope so.

Hopefully Julien isn't what Miranda was to 2023.
The Twins have infield depth highlighted by rising second-year infielder Edouard Julien that allowed them to make the deal. Julien is a candidate to take over second-base full time after slashing .263/.381/.459 with 16 home runs, 37 RBI and three stolen bases in 109 games as a rookie in 2023.
