Do the Twins have any OF they could trade for Stephen Vogt?

I’d trade Kepler for him in a heartbeat. Highly regarded prospect but took a little dip with his offense in September. With a power hitting Daniel Palka on the way, it seems like a decent trade, that is if there’s still a good amount of time on Vogt’s contract.

3 years left on Vogt before FA. But as Steve mentioned below, he’s not really a match if the FO is prioritizing pitch framing, he’s more of a bat-first C.

They have tons of OF, but I’m guessing the new regime wants to see what they have before making trades if that is possible.

Vogt drew worse framing grades than Suzuki last season. Obviously we can’t know exactly how heavily framing will factor into their decision, but it’d be a surprise to see them target an actual downgrade in that area — especially if they’re giving up young talent in exchange.

Very true, if pitch framing is a priority, Vogt isn’t your guy.

What about Travis Darnaud?
I would like to see Mets trade D’arnaud and sign Wilson Ramos. Obvious upgrade and would be sticking it to Nats. A win-win.

Then use Rivera and Plawecki for most of 217, til Ramos is healthy?
Risky…

My thinking was Ramos being healthy from April with Plawecki as back up.

We have Cameron Rupp here in Philly. Want him?

Montero?If Cubs eat $10MM wouldn’t be a bad addition for the Twins

Derek Norris is very cheap compared to the mediocre group behind Ramos & Weiters. Just like Castro, Norris was an all-star a few years back who could probably benefit being used similarly to how he was in Oakland where he was in a platoon with Vogt & got to DH on days he didn’t catch which kept him fresh throughout the year. Would Nick Burdi be an over pay for Norris or would be be someone a conversation could be started around?

Aside from a few guys like Gonsalves and Jay, pretty much the rest of the pitching in the Twins minor league system is fair game as far as I’m concerned. I’d definitely have a conversation around Burdi.
