Abreu too but I’m not sure what he can reasonably net in a trade. Trade both and resign Abreu in the offseason if he will accept a reasonable short term (2-3) year deal. Abreu has the power numbers that contenders will be looking for and who can't use a back of the pen arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twins got Schoop for $7.5 million. Surely there are better options as one year 2B signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know if they're going to get anything for Abreu when he's sporting a .299 OBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but Benetti said that Stone is on vacation. Farmer could probably do an entire game talking to himself. I’m sure he’s fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Robles looks good. I want to see Robert come up and run around the bases like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradMc Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Lopez may be the biggest tease to have ever pitched for this organization. This trade was basically Eaton for Gio. Maybe put him in the pen as a late-inning pitcher. The guy is capable of spectacular outings. I really want him to win. Perhaps these young guys,would respond to a different perspective. But Cooper is more than a pitching coach to Reinsdorf. He's the eyes and ears in the clubhouse. His usefulness as a pitching coach was over many, many moons ago.

Even if Cooper is done as an effective pitching coach, we all get to suffer through it. He is the dark lord’s loyal servant and will never leave this team until he decides to retire.

GradMc Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have to ask Does Reinsdorf want this team to be competitive ? They actually have a shot to make the playoff this year. What a boost going into 2020 that would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he wants to do it his way by spending the least amount of money possible while making the highest profits. We won’t be signing any big time free agents, which usually is the final step to going on a long run of winning year after year (see Cubs and Lester).

That pile gets bigger no matter if people show up, we win, or we dont. Its a piggy bank that accumulates wealth no matter how good the investment is.
