I would not give up much to have the pleasure of paying him max money. It's bad enough already having to pay Wiggins the max. A core of KAT/Wiggins/Russell isn't getting you anywhere. Just disaster I'm all for folding the franchise. The way the NBA is built now Minnesota will never have a successful franchise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stern started it during his tenure (in consort with Jordan) and Silver is just continuing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 If the wolves could get rid of Wiggins, it would be a big win. If they could get rid of Wiggins, and get Russell. Huge win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcblack34 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Twins give away their best pitching prospect for a 31 year old mid-rotation pitcher. Goody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 They must not be confident that he can stay healthy. i don’t mind the move - Maeda improves the rotation at a good price. I’d much rather have Maeda than Wheeler with that contract. Maeda has playoff experience and can come out of the pen if necessary. I’m sort of disappointed that we won’t get to see what Graterol could have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we got to see what David Ortiz could do...with the Red Sox. This team doesn’t need a 3-4 starter. It needs a true Ace. He was our best chance at having one. Maybe he won’t turn into one, but we already know Maeda won’t. I also hate this move because we went out and got Donaldson. That means we have 3 massive trade pieces in the minors that almost certainly won’t be on the opening day roster. We could have moved them last year at the deadline for pitching. Instead, we move our best pitching prospect for a mid-tier guy. It just doesn’t make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Twins are convinced that Graterol won’t become a starter then this is a good move. He was not going to be an impact pitcher this year, and this was a win now move. I also have to believe that if things go according to plan this year that we will see another move at the deadline. The lineup is stacked, the bullpen looks to be one of the best in the majors, the rotation when healthy has 4 guys that could be solid #2s on other teams, they have a farm system full of high potential prospects, and they really only need a true staff ace. They are in a better place than they were last year with a core that isn’t going anywhere soon. I understand and respect your opinion though. It’s hard to watch a guy that throws 103 moves for an older mid rotation arm. The David Ortiz comp is silly. Entirely different scenarios.

TENINCH Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 So what did the Wolves get in this trade? Are they still going after Russell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
