The Gnat 1,095 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Update on that, the Twins got the SS/OF Martin who is the Blue Jays #2 prospect and Woods-Richardson a P who is their #4 prospect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SemperFeist 6,615 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I would say that’s an excellent return for Berrios 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SemperFeist 6,615 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If I was going to bet, I’d say that Donaldson will be the next guy out. Buxton is the wild card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope that Donaldson is the next one out. My guess will be that Pineda is the next one out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wcblack34 2,126 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I just hope they can pull something off for some left-handed pitching now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Gnat 1,095 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Don't know anything about either Evan Sisk or John Gant. But not bad getting anything for Happ. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PrplChilPill 973 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Between the Cruz and Berrios trades, the Twins now have 8 of their top 10 prospects in AA or AAA.....and they got something for Happ (unreal). It is frustrating, but they aren't starting over with A level guys here.... Fangraphs still loves Martin, but dropped him to 59th (still awesome) overall..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's been quite a few playoff teams in that time frame. Yes, having won less playoff games than the Timberwolves in 18 years does kind of put a damper on things. In the end, at least to me, makes the entire season fairly meaningless, because often, they weren't even competitive in those series either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TENINCH 2,590 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The Twins never seem to put an emphasis on pitching. What's the point of scoring all these runs if you're going to make JA Happ a starting pitcher that can't stop anyone. So many past ther prime leftovers when it comes to pitching.

Because offense is sexy and sells tickets, pitching does not. Pitching in MLB is like defense in the NFL...these leagues' priorities have been to increase attraction and sell tickets...and emphasized offense is the way they do that. That's fine, but you'll lose some longer term fans because of that. It was only one of the multitude of reasons why I pay little attention to the game any longer, but it is one. I was one that always found the 1-0 and 2-1 or 3-1 games far more entertaining than 13-12...or 17-14 as was the case with a Twins game last week. A brilliantly pitched game between Jack Morris and John Smoltz gives you a memory that you never forget. A slugfest with multiple solo shots is rather forgettable to me.
