Pablo Lopez & another pitcher idc for Royce Lewis & Arraez or Kepler is a deal I’d be cool with.

He’s a pretty good defender tbh

I would take any of these players from the Twins being rumored in these fake deals. Please make them real already.

I don’t mind Wendle starting and playing everyday. But why at SS?

Seems like the Marlins are set on keeping Jazz at 2B or perhaps CF?

Same 😆 

I believe the Twins won't do the half ass effort after landing Correa so they would go all in to acquire Pablo, just buckle up. 

Get someone like Arráez AND THEN trade for Reynolds, and I'm back in.

Until this, this is all bullshit and this team still sucks

Just a thought but what if the "big move" is Pablo for Arraez and move Jazz to CF?

C. Stallings
1B. Cooper
2B. Arraez
3B. Segura
SS. Wendle
LF. Sanchez/Bleday
CF. Jazz
RF. Garcia
DH. Soler

Maybe they're not willing to meet the asking price for Reynolds, and so they manufacture a CF in Jazz.

Yeah as others have said I don’t think Pablo was ever being targeted by Pittsburgh so in theory they could make this trade and get Reynolds separately. However, I’m concerned that starts to push them to a point where they’re completely depleting the good rotation they have and then we’re stuck waiting 2-3 years for the Eder/Perez/Meyer group to develop and we’re back at square one.

Uff, looking at it on paper really shows how far this team is from a good lineup lol TON of strikeouts in that bih

Rogers or Cabrera make more sense for Pittsburgh and Pablo for the Twins as the two teams are obviously in different stages of "competing" so with some creativity both teams could be trade partners.

Yeah, agree, that's definitely a concern.  It's not like we had a full, effective rotation healthy the whole season.

Yup, and it’s not like it was some elite rotation either. It was borderline top 10 in ERA alone and even worse in some other important factors. So eliminating two-thirds of that is going to be rough. I don’t have much expectation for Garret, Meyer is out for the season, Eder won’t be available til the all star break at least (and that’s if he comes back anywhere near the level he was at before the injury). So then who do we have? Luzardo is a major wild card and the hope is Cueto can repeat what he did last year. But after that it’s Castańo? Garret? Who?

I still think the rotation is deep enough that we could, and should, trade two starters from it. There are "better" teams who are considered contenders who are gonna get by with lesser rotations because they have the offense to overcome it. Subtracting two starters and adding two bats would help us more.

Yeah, this is true too.  Doesn't matter if you have the best rotation of all time, if you can't score it doesn't matter.
