Trevor Bauer has good stats in the Mexican League. Robinson Cano is batting .457 in that league. It’s a far cry from MLB. He’s not the answer, other than as a 4th or 5th starter.
Falvey loves searching for a pitcher with health problems like Mahle, Dyson, Paddack etc. so look in that direction. Falvey could have obtained Wacha or Lugo but he was in payroll cutting mode.
I feel like we will trade away a couple of top 15 prospects and get a guy who will make about 3 subpar starts for the team... seems to be the Falvey way
Ober is better than any of your names mentioned. No hitter in the 5th today, another quality start, one bad pitch today but still better than Lopez and his 5+ ERA.
Two guys we could probably get without giving up too much are Erick Fedde and Tyler Anderson. Nice top to mid rotation names. Eovaldi would be a dream come true cuz of his proven resilience in the postseason and I would start Eovaldi game 1 if we somehow get him My trade ideas for each pitcher: TWINS - Erick Fedde WHITE SOX - Tanner Schobel (#10), Cesar Lares (#25) TWINS - Tyler Anderson ANGELS - Gabriel Gonzalez (#6), Connor Prielipp TWINS - Nathan Eovaldi, cash considerations RANGERS - Trevor Larnach, Charlee Soto (#8), Agustin Ruiz (NR)
Trevor Bauer brought to light what MLB pitchers were doing with the rosin bag, he will never be allowed back into the league as Bauer made baseball look bad. #moderndayPeteRose
The bullpen might stand pat especially with Stewart comeing back. Funderburk could be moved as well as theibar. But I hope they did something to make thier bullpen more robust.
If he can still pitch at the MLB level I agree as you would think he would behave with a little less than half the season left to play. Sign him for the rest of this season with a team option for next year.
What’s with Minnesota sports so high on Julien? I’d trade him in a heartbeat for a decent starter. I don’t think anyone outside of Minny sports media thinks Julien is worth a damn it’s baffling to me
expected ERA is the dumbest stat i have ever heard of in my life please phil stop with that garbage bro. your my favorite baseball guy in the twin cities dont get caught up in "expected ERA" how about we talk about their REAL ERA like wtf? all the trades you guys were talking about were trash man cmon man
Trevor Bauer is a 500 pitcher and if he can behave would only cost salary. Kichuchi is maybe the only decent pitcher you’ve talked about and Lorenzen if you think his arm lasts all season.
I think we have 4 good starters which gets us through the regular season, I don’t think the twins should waste prospects on a mid tier starter or a backend starter. Paddack/Festa/whoever making that 5th start is perfectly fine for the season If we do anything at all, it would have to be a 1/2 starter or a high end bullpen arm to throw down there. We do not need a bad whatsoever right now but if they did get one, it would have to be like an all star level bat, or else it would be a waste again
I second all the comments saying Trevor Bauer. However, knowing the ownership group of our MN Twins, we have a better shot bringing in Aaron Judge than signing Bauer 😂
Eovoldi should be the only target, otherwise the only trades that should happen are to bring in prospects for next year as this is not a playoff winning team.
To all the "We need Bauer" idiots in the chat, here's the thing. Regardless of what he did or did not do, one thing is certain: he is an asshole and not someone most teams want in their clubhouse. I don't see many players signing off on wanting someone like that on the team, regardless of ability. Bonds hit .276 with 28 bombs in his last year but no one even took a flyer on him because he's an asshole. Get over it and move on, please.
This exactly. I honestly think it's the people who agree with his wacko beliefs that want him to be signed, even though it's obviously a clear detriment to any team that signs him. They keep bringing up one single case to point to say "here you go, he's a perfectly great guy after all!" while doing everything they can to avoid talking about the other two women who accused him of misconduct, or harassing people on social media, or pitch doctoring, or simply being a guy that no one likes in the clubhouse. I'm glad he's not talked about on this podcast, because it's not worthy of discussion.
@@Sean-ki6qihave you kept up with him? Have you been watching his content? Outside of the bs allegations that have been disproven and multiple accusers being charged with fraud by Grand jury’s. He had the balls to expose the pitchers in the league for the use of foreign substances. He’s addressed his poor behavior/attitude/ his behavior as a teammate. He’s addressed it, reflected on it, and grew up. People can change. His teammates internationally seem to be having a blast with him in the club house. He’s still pitching at an elite level and is keeping up with his training.
@@gregorieschmitt5578 I don't watch his content, but I have no doubt he wants to reform his image because he wants to play again. That's different than actually changing. The "bs alligations that have been disproven and multiple accusers being charged with fraud by Grand jury's" is I believe at least partially inaccurate if not wholly inaccurate. I don't believe all 3 accusers have been brought before a grand jury on fraud charges, nor was more than one case disproven. By "had the balls to expose the pitchers in the league for the use of foreign substances" you mean when he criticized the league for banning stuff like Spider Tack after he was suspected of using it after his spin rate jumped well above career numbers? That doesn't sound like a whistleblower to me. I just don't see evidence that he's a changed person, I think he just wants some team to give him a contract. If he had actually done things to change, I imagine some team would take a flyer on him at league minimum(which is what he said he'd play for).
The Twins ownership and front office do not behave like winners. It is that basic.
you hit the nail on the head with s sludge hammer dude!!!
Yes exactly they completely suck

Need a # 4 starter . Gotta move paddack to the pen before he blows that shoulder again
Trevor Bauer
Cancer, bud. Set the stuff with the girl aside. He’s a cancer, and no one wanted him.
For the 1985 Cardinals, Tom Herr his 8 HRs with 110 RBIs.
Two guys we could probably get without giving up too much are Erick Fedde and Tyler Anderson. Nice top to mid rotation names. Eovaldi would be a dream come true cuz of his proven resilience in the postseason and I would start Eovaldi game 1 if we somehow get him
My trade ideas for each pitcher:
TWINS - Erick Fedde
WHITE SOX - Tanner Schobel (#10), Cesar Lares (#25)
TWINS - Tyler Anderson
ANGELS - Gabriel Gonzalez (#6), Connor Prielipp
TWINS - Nathan Eovaldi, cash considerations
RANGERS - Trevor Larnach, Charlee Soto (#8), Agustin Ruiz (NR)

The O's are in the drivers seat for making a good trade they have a ton of top prospects that are clogging their system.
The bullpen might stand pat especially with Stewart comeing back. Funderburk could be moved as well as theibar. But I hope they did something to make thier bullpen more robust.
Why don't you guys submit your thoughts to the twins organization... It's worth mentioning and maybe trying... It's just a thought...
Trevor Bauer? He's clearly still elite
Politics will not allow it to happen whether he did it or not he isn’t completely in the clear so that’s too much for teams to worry about
@@jaxjdomain609 plenty of players have done worse and are playing today. Marcel Ozuna for one.
If he can still pitch at the MLB level I agree as you would think he would behave with a little less than half the season left to play. Sign him for the rest of this season with a team option for next year.
@@jaxjdomain609 he didn't do it, he's innocent. Saying otherwise as MLB would be a lawsuit
This whole thread likes choking women 😂

Judd- Richards blew a save and choked in the 9th last night. Kikuchi gave up 2 bombs earlier. No Toronto pitchers.

of course Eovaldi is the best move they could make, proven playoff performer. So you can be sure that will NEVER happen

Trevor Bauer exposed pitchers using the rosin bag to the public, MLB will never allow him back.

Polands need to sell the team to someone who is interested in winning a championship. Until that happens this discussion is moot
Would love tyler anderson in the rotation
Terrible FIP. His stats are inflated.
