MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

Relief pitchers. Can't live with them. Can't blast them all into the sun.
I never did hate the trade. Pagan is hot garbage, but Paddock will be a solid addition next year,
Hard to believe the Twins are 41-2 when heading into the 9th in front.
Best part was it came off Hader.
He's really turned it on since his slow start. I'm sure the Twins are going to leave Sano at AAA for the entire injury length, but no one in their right mind would send down Miranda now. Hopefully someone is willing to take a flyer on him or the FO has the sense to just DFA him otherwise.
Little JM and I were there. I was pissing and moaning convinced they would blow it. It was freaking awesome.
I think I wouldn't. I would probably be willing to dangle Royce Lewis or Spencer Steer for the right SP, though.
I think they can get by with the starters we have. I'd trade for 3 or 4 RPs hoping 1 or 2 of them get hot for a second half.
Miranda is terrible defensively. Doesn’t have a position if everyone is healthy. Hard to see them winning a postseason series with a 1-2 of Gray and Ryan.
I'm no expert on fielding metrics, but I think I've read he's struggled a bit, but I don't believe he was terrible in the minors. I'm hoping he's their regular 3B next year, honestly.
I'd love to get Castillo or someone as a SP, but I don't think I'd trade Miranda to do it.
Now if they suddenly signed Correa to a big extension, I'd be okay letting Miranda go as a healthy Lewis could be really good at 3B. I'm worried about Lewis health long term though.
Edit: I'm not going to throw a fit if they trade Miranda for a top end SP, though. Just saying I'd prefer to trade other prospects.
Would love to get Castillo, or Bednar, but throw together Sano, Steer, Gordon, Martin, and, of course, Pagan in a package deal.
Today was big win against a good Brewers team. Now let's take three from the Sox.
