Duran for Duran is a horrible idea for the twins
The Twins? Seriously? Jarren Duran for a relief pitcher is idiocy. But it’s something Craig Brain-slow would probably do.
let – They must have misspelled “Joe” by typing “Jhoan” instead.
Because there’s no way Duran is going to Minnesota for anyone other than Joe Ryan.
Just because Breslow has already given away Priester, Sale, and Devers (another 3 hits and 2 HR today) doesn’t mean he’s gonna give away Duran as well.
I really want the sox to go after Mackenzie Gore. I think the fit is perfect. His prime aligns with our cores age. He’s a #3-4 already, with an Ace ceiling. Crochet and Gore would be a great 1-2 punch. And he’s under control for a couple more years. Hes gonna cost a good bit but nothing crazy. I feel like Arias, password, and a couple high ceiling young guys gets it done considering where washingtons roster is currently at.
The integrity of the sport is of outmost important. I wish baseball writers demanded more from these owners, players and pencil pushers like Manfred and Tony Clark. The MLBPA, MLB, and the teams who hold cities hostage for tax funds need to be held accountable. When a rocket scientist discovers different baseballs being used and Manfred gets caught lying about it, baseball needs some changes because smart fans can tell the whol;e systems needs fixing,
