CAS22 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This is a deal I'm actually good with for Minnesota. Should be a wake up call for some Atlanta fans who thought they could get a top 5 org prospect for Garcia, who isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENINCH Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Not enough for me to think Minnesota can even contend for the division. We need alot more. Twins should be selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending Garcia and Recker for the No. 22 is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I like the trade for both sides. The Braves needed to just start dumping some players and get stuff back for them, but the issue is they can't get stuff that is that great, so getting Ynao is good value for them. As for the Twins, they needed another starter, gives them someone who can help them potentially make the playoffs, and I hope the Twins will resign Garcia on a short deal.

Doesn't show up in prospect rankings, but shows up in season ticket sales next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really feel like we are in the playoff hunt. We just play in a bad division. Any other division and we'd be buried in the standings.

The Gnat Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 We're in the playoff hunt, so I do agree that you shouldn't sell, especially since the Twins are always called cheap by the vast majority of fans, whether or not that's been the case as of late. I at least like that they got Garcia, but didn't throw away a big name to get him, they kept the players of importance in the minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what matters to fans and that is what will help drive season ticket sales next year. The revenue part of this is important. Cleveland did a hard rebuild in the 90's after the Manny teams and never got their fan support back. You don't want to Cleveland up your rebuild.
