Wonder if Ozuna would be enough for Santana

id rather have pitching prospects over an outfielder with only 3 years of contol

Miami doesn’t have much in its system. You probably wont see a better offer from Miami. My thought is that is that Osuna has more value than Santana, but its a fairly good match up.

idk about more value soild starting pitching is always value its a good offer but twins are looking for pitching and short stop if anything and also control for 5 or 6 years

Marlins are looking for a much better return than Santana for Ozuna. Would be terribly disappointed if that’s what the Marlins would get for Ozuna. Not a good trade at all.

if you look at the difficulty RH hitters are finding on the FA market, it stands to reason the trade value will not be all that high, either. Osuna’s only plus over those players is that he can play a reasonable CF.

Probably, but the Twins don’t need Marcell.

We don’t want any outfielders. Log jam if we traded for him.

Rod Carew was the best PURE hitter I have ever seen. The Bat was a magic wand in his hands. The currently dead art of bunting for base hits was a talent he had no peers for. My prayers are with him on his recovery.

Can mostly agree. Carew and Boggs a handful of years later. carew was by far the best combo of Bat and speed, tho lets not forget a oft forgotten braves kid name of Ralph Garr for a half dozen seasons as well.
During a time when owners and players still sometimes finished careers with 1 team? Had Twins not been saddled with a broke owner in Calvin Griffith, Carew just might have finished his career as a Twin.

Regardless of Griffith’s money Carew wouldn’t have been a Twin for life, unfortunately. Calvin was racist and that was part of the reason why Rod wanted out of Minnesota. Griffith made racist comments towards Carew and others which led to the trade.

Best wishes to Rod Carew. No showboating. No steroids. Just talent and class all the way.

I feel like Santana could be moved but definitely wait for the right offer keeping him to headline the staff for a while could be beneficial but if there is a deal involving a young pitcher under long-term control take it

How can a you say the Twins had too many young bullpen arms throwing in stressful situations when you only won 59 games? When you are 20 games out of first at the All Star break you are simply trying to get through the rest of the season. High leverage situations happen during meaningful games. How many meaningful games are there during 100 loss seasons?

exactly you have to be a somewhat competent team to really evaluate high-leverage situations
