Urias for the bench, one more year of control

I really like the move. Dana gave up nothing to get a solid big leaguer for additional depth with one more year of control.

Cease is a pretty good buy low opportunity with high upside

Given what Murphy and Miller have done with lesser talents worth the prospect capital and risk with him hitting free agency this season

I have a really strong knowledge of the farm system and I had to look him up


Twine is kind of a badass first name though.

According to Chandler, his middle name is Rollin

I had to google Roman Urias

didn't know him or remember him

but Correa's contract would zap some of the payroll freedom the Astros would enjoy after the 2025 and 2026 seasons

Correa deal is still alive I'm told. Cease is priority #1 but they're talking to a lot of different teams right now.

Yeah, bats should be the focus over pitching with all the pitchers coming back.

Please get some more offense too please

I was pushing for Cease in the 2023 season. The Sox were terrible, he was about to enter free agency, and he would have a been a great long term addition. I'd love to get that guy on the team now, he's in the middle of his prime years and still throwing well.

Of course, our IL has a solid starting 5...

What is a Twine Palmer?

Add Cease and Correa tomorrow. Make it happen and I'll be good.

If you can get him back to ace level for Melton, you've made the best trade of deadline week.

Because he's better than Zack Short and Shay Whitcomb


I'll always remember Short fondly for his Dodgers series debut with us and the OPS higher than Judge's.

Out of 594 career PAs over 5 seasons, his .671 OPS over 56 PAs this season is his best. He's actually much worse than he's shown for us.

Shay's been consistently unplayable. No doubt Ramon is better than either option.

Yes you have some starting pitching talent returning off the DL but remember Javier and Garcia are coming off major surgery and haven't thrown in a MLB game for time. In Garcia's case it's been over two years. Look at how uneven McCullerd's performances have been this season.

Cease would take a whole lot more than Melton.

This is some interesting insight inside the twins org:

I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

Hummell, Chas, and Melton?

It's like trying to steal baseball/football cards when we're little.

Having major league bats on the bench, a dream

I like the Urias deal for a few reasons

A) It added depth at no cost
B) It won't keep us from making any other moves
C) I think it gives us a tad bit of leverage

Dana can tell MIN to fck off. We got our replacement and we're moving on. When you're ready to be serious about a CC and/or Castro deal call me. But for now we're moving on.

Safe to say Jim Crane is probably done with staying under the CBT this season
