No rentals. Dana gets it.

Not the year for that.

I agree

the 3-for-1 rental deals start hurting after a while

Zero chance we extend Pena now and I wouldn't be surprised if we trade him in the off-season to try and rebuild our farm system

I think the Twins have one pitcher left in their bullpen

I was just wondering if they even have a team anymore haha

it will be interesting to see if the Twins collapse now

Minnesota has 7 games vs. the Tigers in August

and the Twins end the season with 3 games at the Phillies -- which could greatly impact NL playoff seeding

Not putting a ton of stock in that bonda tweet... unless someone else says something similar I'm just going to assume he made it up.

I obviously don't trust Bonda but if true how tremendously stupid as a pitcher to not want to go to Houston.

I guess some are still scared of the scandal, which is ridiculous, but my God, go to the Astros, get incredible insight from M&M, increase your value ten fold, maybe even get a ring, and then you're on the free market and can call your shot. Dumb if even remotely true.

So that's a little over $23 mil a season for 3 years for age 31-33 range for Correa, not crazy

I am thinking of Sanchez and Urias as a platoon bat. Both have significant splits, and Altuve can keep sliding between 2B and LF.

Platoon Dubon with Trammel in CF until Meyers comes back.

It is suddenly a deep lineup again. It may lack the mega middle of the order without Yordan, but you have length back.

Wildcards are Yordan and what Javier and Garcia can provide

So we got Correa back for cheaper than it was to re-sign him after 2021

The other option is just a straight platoon of Sanchez with Dubon in the OF given that both are .800+ OPS in their platoon splits.

So someone remind me. What are the current opt outs in the Correa contract?

Crane stepped up, Dana addressed offensive needs and replaced AAAA guys with major leaguers.

Now the question is whether Matthews and/Or Melton get sent back down or are still prioritized for AB.

I think Urias is going to play a decent amount of time at 2B

Pretty sure they're going behind Sanchez and Urias if they aren't sent down

If Dubon remains in the lineup a lot, then Urias also will as a pure UTL.

Solid B

Got a decent utility man, a LH OFer, and an upgrade at 3B. All upgrades and finally gets some of these AAAA players out our lineup all without giving up much of anything.

But weren't able to land a starter or BP arm

I like it

Wow. I know workload is a concern for Cam and he has big splits, but that is a waste is he is only starting against LHP.

I'd like to reserve my right to grade it once I see Spaghetti and El Reptil pitch a few games in the majors

Ummmm, that's not ideal

Rewrite to say "will platoon with Altuve in left and allow Altuve to DH with Yordan out"

Hopefully Cam still plays 50%-66% of the time

Sanchez can play anywhere in the OF

A- to A. Addressed needs, overall quality of active roster has been significantly improved, and retained prospect capital.

A+ would've been getting another BP arm tbh.

Cherry on top would've been Cease.

Overall, should be very happy.

He's signed for 3 more with no opt outs. Then there are team options that can vest but if he hits the vesting criteria you're probably content to pay him.

Very solid B.

Would have been an A if we got an arm or Mullins instead of Sanchez

A minus since we didn't add an arm. A+ if we added Cease and A+++ if we added Alcantara.
