Go Toronto! Very interesting to see how that team moved from the AA/Bautista years. Shapiro is good at what he does.

Also according to fathom I’m allowed to keep drinking this rumor for another 30 hours

I mean it probably did cripple 2003

I'm a big fan of adding players to what we have that are all-star level, and not just "man if we just get 4.5 ERA out of them we'll be good". This is a tricky trade because it potentially swaps out part of existing talent, but I'm all in on the rumor. This guy is a stud next year and the years after. A rotation of Giolito, Burnes, Lynn, Keuchel, (remaining guy) is a group that will piss on the twins offense and help us win the division rather than not lose it. And he'd be around for years.

Ha, yeah we'll have quite a few examples this year.

I’m with @fathom that if we trade Madrigal I’d want Wong. My love for La Stella is for the bat. It’s a great complementary piece. But we have a lot of ground ball pitchers so I don’t want to sacrifice that part of the infield.

Ha, for people who weren’t on at the time the first page probably looks so weird but I thought I was going to get flamed for reading too much into our foodie burners.

Ten AM is my expiration date for rumors like these

That kinda surprises me with that pitching staff

I don’t understand why people think this contract is stupid

Really hard to associate rosenthal with anyone other than Ken. Thought you were saying it was picking up steam with Ken and then realized

Just in case Stearns also reads the board to make decisions: No! Not Madrigal! He is Nellie Fox, please take our other terrible prospects like Vaughn! I wouldn’t do Madrigal for Burnes straight up. If Hahn offered that, I know they couldn’t turn it down. Don’t do it Hahn!

Oh like when he became a free agent?

Yeah I just edited after seeing he actually meant he’s better than giolito

I think what people think of as stuff will vary. Giolito gets a lot of help out of his height and delivery. Hitters talk about how his change isn’t Johan Santana’s they just can never pick it up vs his fastball. Burnes has the pitches I think of more in terms of stuff, but it’s also a lot of break instead of drop which usually isn’t my fav. But it looks fun.

This is so dumb

They are just talking about stuff. Edit uh nvm

Gonna be such a gut punch when Padres trade for him

Nobody needs a 2b

Panamanian Prince should net anyone tbh

No no obviously its lips are sealed, key or bin keyorbin keyorbin Burnes corbin Burnes

All the insiders looking to get the free klout increases

The real second piece from brewers would obviously be narvaez

Thread already devolved into source talk. Boring

As we can see by the curve spin Giolito is a worse pitcher
