Trades/acquisitions

[zbhargrove]

To me, the acquisitions of Duvall and Rosario signal that's all we're going to be getting as far as hitters. I could be wrong. I'd be surprised if we don't get another bullpen arm though, although not an elite one.

Well sounds like we are at least making a run at Buxton

Rosenthal says the Cubs and Mets are talking about Javy Baez

 

[Enscheff]

Still hesitant to give the guy made of glass a big contract

This came from the same guy who just said they never should have let Duvall go.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Not getting my hopes up on Buxton yet, but interesting chatter

 

[msstate7]

Can anyone find info on when Buxton is supposed to come off the IL? I'm not finding much.

If we got him, we'd have Rosario, TDA, and buxton on the IL? Damn

You never saw me say that... I never wanted Duvall back. Although I think the trade was fine

EDIT: I see now you were talking about rico

 

[msstate7]

Bryant?

Duvall and Rosario cost nothing. Getting a talent like Buxton and hoping for a better run of health is not something that gets blocked by low cost fringe moves.

Buxton is a big, big deal if it happens.

The guy you quoted said that

 

[mfree80]

See...plenty of folks think Duvall is a great addition, so mission accomplished by the FO.

Well, with the benefit of hindsight you can argue that we need him.

Agree or not, you can see the argument either way at the time they made the decision not to sign him.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

Me likey Buxton.

His injury history is not that different from Acuna's.

You've got that right.

My thoughts exactly. There is no other spot available to upgrade the offense. We are set at 1B, 2B, C, SS, 3B, RF, LF....I guess CF could use an upgrade of course.

But Heredia, Almonte, Pederson, Duvall provide a lot of bodies out there.

Our bullpen is definitely in desperate need up upgrading. Several relievers.

 

[zbhargrove]

The guy you quoted said that

Yeah yeah I got it now

 

[UNCBlue012]

Baez to Mets is very close.

 

[zbhargrove]

It’s actually quite a bit different

The contenders have spoken during this trade deadline like no other in recent years:
You want a legitimate chance to reach the playoffs, and win the World Series, you have to trade prospects. And these prized prospects are flying off the board.

 

[rico43]

I would wish Sandoval got a chance to hug his teammates one last time. He was just a positive guy to have around, even when he was positively bad.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Twins listening on Maeda. bro, this deadline
