2017 Minnesota Twins

[Win TWINS!!!]

I was going to suggest trading Kintzler too, but I expected to catch flack since he was an all-star this year so I was trying to be diplomatic.

I admittedly haven't gotten to watch as much as I'd like this season, but whenever I've gotten the chance to follow the game with Kintzler in to close it's been like Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams trying to close it out. That doesn't scream closer material to me. You want someone who will slam the door without giving the opponent a chance, not someone that will have you reaching for your heart pills as a closer.

He's been an adventure, but effective.

But they should be moving him, possibly Santana.

More like they need a whole new pitching staff outside of Santana and Berrios, and maybe Kintzler in a setup role instead of closing.

Mejia & Rogers have been acceptable

No, you can't be 2 games out at the deadline and trade two of your best pitchers especially after sucking for the last couple years.

Kintzler has been literally nothing like Mitch Williams... Every team wants that closer, do you watch baseball?

Yeah, I understand the message it would send, but neither are part of the long term plans. Sure, we got Santana 2 more years, but what's he going to have left? Kintzler in all likelihood, won't be back next year, anyway.

Neither would bring in anything of significance and scouts have probably noticed Ervin has returned to earth. On a good team, Ervin is a 3rd starter, maybe 2nd

We got Colon, bitches.

Twins trade for Atlanta starting pitcher Jaime Garcia

Minnesota acquired Jaime Garcia, a nine-year veteran with postseason experience, from the Braves along with veteran catcher Anthony Recker and cash, the teams announced. In return the Twins will send 19-year-old righthanded pitcher Huascar Ynoa to Atlanta

Nice that we made a trade to try and fix the rotation when it was too late.

Twins are 4-9 since Buxton went on the DL. Clearly, he's the answer!

Just saw that he is back on the marquet...

Thats some good leadership right there!

Jaimie Garcia we hardly knew ya.

Kintzler gone, Santana and Dozier before the deadline?

Didn't take long to go from buyers to sellers. Guess I can't blame them, it's not like the twins will be competing for the title in the next 20-30 years.

So... we got back a Low A "24 year old 'prospect'" for Kintzler? That's the best we could get?


Dozier is pretty upset that the Twins turned into sellers.... I understand his frustration, but this team was going backwards fast.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

any more trades, will have to clear waivers... so looks like Dozier and Santana won't be going anywhere.

 

[powerchord86]

Looks like Dozier and the Twins are pissing away the rest of the season...

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Next man up in the rotation.... Dillon Gee...

 

[powerchord86]

Rebuilding the Mets rotation from two years ago... lol

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

Santana with his 5th complete game on the season, with 2 RBIs!

Guess he's not ready to give up on the season.
