What would a team give for a 2B that can hit 35+ homers and score 100+ runs a year, along with giving plus defense?  The Twins have asked teams with interest in making this deal to give them their best offers this week to keep the situation from dragging out.
 

 

[brett05]

Fangraphs has his defense at below average. 
Given his affordability, age, and still two years of control I think a top 50 and maybe two top 125s

 

[Mexi]

Jose DeLeon would be a pretty good get
I wouldn't mind giving them some kind of sweetener like trayce thompson or kiké Hernandez, but no other real prospect
Last year was probably just a career year and an outlier going forward

Truth be told, no team is going to offer more than deleon
Im just waiting for this to go final already

 

[Phil The Thrill]

He is still at lesst a 4 win player in my books and can easily hit at least 30 again.

Should get a top 50 for sure. They definitely need to sell high tho.

For that price I'd rather have Brett Lawrie at a lower cost if I am the Dodgers.  I need to keep what pitching I have.

 

[Mexi]

Im definitely ok with them going utley/kiké at 2nd and re evaluating at the deadline

But the Dodgers have great depth at pitcher right now that seeing deleon go wouldn't be a back breaker

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Depending on the price i would want the Mets to make a run. Never was sold on Neil Walker.

 

[Mexi]

Think about it

Mets have walker. Whether you like him or not, hes serviceable

Cards have wong and gyorko

Giants have panik

Nats have Murph

Cubs have Javy and Zobrist

Yankees have starlin and already called out the twins for making up rumors

Twins people have also said it seems like the twins fo is leaking the cards and giants. Both are already set at 2b and oh how convenient, dodger nemesis' lol


Dodgers or bust. Twins are just trying to get the Dodgers to cave. But Friedman, Kasten, Zaidi and AA dont cave

Ahhhh, another case of the often prevalent #FutureDodger

My thing with Walker is the Mets have never indicated he's a long-term solution at 2B. If their intention is to replace him next winter I'd rather go after somebody like Dozier now. 
 
Pointless though, Mets won't do it. 

 

[Mexi]

Ahhhh, another case of the often prevalent #FutureDodger

they can't do better than deleon

This is very likely

 

[catman]

DeLeon is a fine young pitcher.  I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

For that price I'd rather have Brett Lawrie at a lower cost if I am the Dodgers.  I need to keep what pitching I have.

 
Lawrie was hardly above replacement last year. People have been waiting for him to put it all together forever now.

id be perfectly ok keeping him too

But this seems like a win-win to me

Any minute now

 

[JZsportswhiz]

Twins need young pitching, and lots of it. Dozier is a fan favorite there, would be a huge loss. Very underrated player though and it would be fun to see him thrive for a playoff team

 

[brett05]

Completely agree.  But the Dodgers aren't really in need and can take the run while costing much, much, much, etc, etc, ...less

 

[Mexi]

Lawrie?
Id rather re-sign broke ass chase utley and platoon again

 

[brett05]

better ceiling with lawrie, but I get it

 

[catman]

Better all around player than Lawrie.  Better defensively, better offensively, better baserunner.  Not a whole lot more expensive right now.  The team that trades for Dozier will get their money's worth.

That's the thing, Dozier is quite a bit more expensive than other options.  If I am the Dodgers, I pass hard if they want De Leon.
