Why in the world would the Twins do that?

Wow. That is a surprise. That’s quite the asking price for a 1 year rental.

He has a 2023 option. So it's really 2 years.

Sox are running out of rentals to acquire.

Wow they gave up a lot for Gray

Isn’t just one player?

Gray was never a true rental though…would have loved to acquire him for Kath+

Wish they’d go big and acquire Luis Castillo

Yeah, Peguero is more or less a throw in. I guess it depends on what you think of Petty. He's still only 18 and throws pretty hard. Our closest comp is probably Kelley, except Petty hasn't had the injury issues thus far.

The Sox really don't have room to add anyone right now unless they move Kimbrel. I doubt they're going to risk going over the tax if they add mid-season. 

Yes they do. They have like 30 million if/when they trade Kimbrel.

edit: oh wait I misread your post. Disregard my reply above.

Assuming you’re referring to Sonny, he’s got a $12m team option for 23.

Cruz after the trade last year wasn't that good.

Isn’t Peguero going to the Twins?  FWIW, I would trade Kelley in heartbeat for Gray.

If the Dodgers get Cruz & Freeman then the game is truly broken

They have $16M as we speak if they don't move Kimbrel. 

Idk how mid-season acquisitions work but you'd have to guess that nothing else is happening unless they move Kimbrel.

Oops yeah, I totally read that wrong.

Yeah I read your post totally wrong. I get what your saying.

I don't think this precludes them from signing freeman.

I didn't realize that, guess that isn't as terrible as I originally thought.

If the Twins get their pitching fixed, they become a legit threat to the Sox. 

Here's your SP add guys.

They did just extend Buxton, so one would think they’re gonna try to half ass a competitive team. They still need a ton more pitching.

You say a lot of silly things
