No doubt he’s had the best year of any Twins minor league hitter. There’s no room for him though, especially if they plan on keeping Kiriloff, whose been taking reps at 1B. It shows me that they have more plans up there sleeves though, which is good. We need at least a starter equal or better then Berrios and another reliever that’s better then Romo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been lights out lately. Let's hope he keeps it up. Definitely need another starter and one more arm in the pen. But if all we get is another bullpen arm, I won't be all that upset.

I won’t have any World Series aspirations unless we bring in a starter that’s equal or better then Berrios. I love Jose but compare our staff to Yankees or Astros and we don’t compare. We need a GREAT number 1 or guy that’s equal to Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren’t many aces that teams are going to make available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly have no idea why you wouldn’t be willing to trade Lewis and/or Kiriloff for Syndergaard. It would be like trading 2 first round picks, or 2 top non QB players for a franchise QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean it’s a little different, it would be like a franchise QB that only starts 1/5 of the remaining season. Maybe plays 1/3 of the playoff games. One positive is you have control of him for one more season before Thor would move on to a major market team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcblack34 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 People say Lewis could be another Jeter. Jeter for 7 seasons, maybe a career; or Johan Santana for two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Sounds like the Mets’ asking price is MLB talent plus top prospects. No thanks. Syndergaard has pitched and performed well in big time games, but he’s not worth gutting the big league club and the farm system for.

JDBrocks Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Why do the Mets do anything that they do? Syndergaard isn't their ace. That's De Grom. If they are really going all in for next year this kind of makes sense? But they still had to give up 2 of their top 10 prospects to get him... Additionally, with Stroman being a ground ball/contact type pitcher he's going to get lit up with that crappy infield defense behind him in NY. I don't get it. Hopefully we find out if the Giants are selling this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we find out if the Giants are selling this morning. They apparently asked for Buxton in a trade for Syndergaard and the Twins (rightfully) rebuked them. They asked for Kirillof or Lewis last week and the Twins said no. It's going to be hard to find a top-tier starter now. Although, if Falvine truly has the checkbook, Zach Greinke would be an interesting option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
