Braves scratched Aaron Blair from AAA start tonight, potentially to take the spot of Jaime Garcia in the rotation tomorrow night.

Wonder which of the 3 AAA gets the first crack. Tomorrow is just about getting a body in there. It will be interesting who gets the next start when this spot comes up.
One name that seems interesting on the Twins prospect list is Mitch Garver. Bat first Catcher.
Teheran is going have to pitch a hell-of-a-lot better over the remainder of the season to net "an impact bat", even with his years of control and team-friendly contract.
As for the frequent bandying about of Gohara as a trade-piece: I really want to see, even if the odds aren't in his favor, if he can develop to his ceiling. I really liked Mallex Smith as a likely middle-tier contributor (what you'd call, in the NBA, a "good rotation piece"), but Gohara is one instance where the FO has a non-trivial shot to win big on a floor-versus-ceiling trade.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Buxton?
Here's the FG Twins prospect list from the offseason.

I'd be cool with Kirilloff, and my unrealistic fever dream is somehow getting Wander Javier. My actual bet is Kohl Stewart.
Twins need viz and JJ also.
I think the highest ceiling guy that could be possible is Tyler Jay. Seems like the kind of guy we targeted in previous trades. Strong draft pedigree, but has struggled to establish himself.
That's probably a bit optomistic for Jaime tho.
The market for rental bats has been so soft, that I'm trying to keep my expectations pretty low. Will be interesting to see if the same applies for SPs though.
Probably wont happen but packaging 2 other players and getting a better return would seem smart instead of just trading 1 for 1. Maximize your assets.
