Hopefully they can trade for a decent pitcher yet He's not a centerpiece of a deal at this point. You'd be looking at Lee, Lewis, Rodriguez or Miranda if you wanted to build a deal for an ace. I don't think they have the juice to get that done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be better off waiting until the trade deadline? I don't think they'd ever trade for a true ace but maybe a solid number 2 and hope that Ryan keeps developing into the ace Edited January 11, 2023 by vikesfan89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I'm not the most religious person in the world, but I've felt that a lot. You end up where you're meant to be. What I do know of that team is that they need leadership, which I understand he can deliver. Edited January 11, 2023 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go a long way with a bunch of those guys, though. Something like Pablo Lopez, Sonny Gray, Tyler Mahle, Joe Ryan, and Winder/Maeda/Ober/Varland can be a very competitive pitching staff. Not dominant, but highly competitive. Having Correa and Buxton up the middle will help a lot, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I loved watching arraez hit but it makes sense to move him for pitching with him being limited defensively Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 They are also getting 2 other prospects from Miami (I still call them Florida) in addition to Lopez. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Nice move for the Twins, getting another starter is not a bad thing at all. Lopez, Salas (number 93 prospect in baseball and a SS) and Byron Chourio OF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpMc Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I will definitely miss Arraez; a one trick pony, but it was a damn good, and often entertaining, trick. Hopefully this means someone like Brooks Lee will prove himself quickly. Until then there are worse infields than Miranda - Correa - Polanco - Kiriloff (with Farmer as the utility guy) Edited January 20, 2023 by RpMc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrplChilPill Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Great trade. I can't believe they got a top prospect and a super young lottery ticket, plus Lopez. I agree, Lopez is a 3 who could be a two. I like that better than a year of Bundy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
