This is probably the case.

Take this with a grain of salt

Yeah, I don't think we should be in the business of helping the Twins and Padres facilitate deals.

Rosenthal did make it sound like this is more than just 2 teams.

You're probably right about them needing Myers even though he's overpaid. It'll be interesting to see what other prospect Minnesota gets if they do include Larnach into this deal. I have a hard time believing the Padres would give up a ton of their pitching depth for Larnach and Rogers.

I could see the Padres getting Rogers with them sending Myers and Paddack along with some money. I'm not sure why they'd have to include Larnach into the trade unless they're trying to bring back better prospects from San Diego. Rogers and Larnach for Paddack, Gore, and Pagan probably works out.

The Padres have been trying to trade Emilio Pagan, I wonder if he's gonna be in the deal.

Makes me think there's more to this trade than just Paddack. Are they trying to dump Hosmer on the Twins?

It's amazing how bad this team is right now.

Wow if the Twins make that deal, they're not gonna have a bullpen.

Plouffe has us in the World Series. He got the teams and number of games right last year, FWIW.

They know that opening day will be a full house and Keuchel would get boo'd endlessly if he sucks. But there will probably be nobody to boo him on the 2nd day when there's maybe 10k in the crowd.

They just traded for Meadows

Cleveland just lost to Orlando, the Bulls have clinched at least the 6th seed.

Maybe we can win a game or 2 against Boston, but we're not making it out of the first round at this rate.

Did he strike out a Tatis impersonator? lmao

Say what you will about Cueto as a pitcher, but he's hilarious to watch.

lol

Lynn is gonna be out 8 weeks. If Cueto needs 3 weeks to ramp up, he can still pitch the 5 weeks Lynn is out.

Minor league deal is fine. He probably won't be able to pitch for weeks.

And then he pitched pretty poorly lol

He gets to play us now at least 13 more times, so I don't know. He's basically Babe Ruth against us.

Well, 2 of our better arms did just get hurt.

They traded Meadows cause he was blocking Josh Lowe.

I understand that the Torkelson and Witt could be gangbusters and be worth way more than what the projection systems have them tabbed at. But they could also struggle at first like Kelenic did last year. There are no guarantees. You also have to consider that the Sox have a similar kind of guy in Vaughn, who could very well be a big offensive contributor this year. He also wouldn't have to get over the growing pains of being a rookie like those other 2. Neither of those teams have a guy like Robert who can take a leap from being a very good player to a borderline MVP.
