    It's a lot

    But with two more years of cheap control on Ryan, they wouldn't trade him for Matthews and Melton. If they wanted to move Ryan on his own they could get a top 20 prospect for him pretty easily

    Ryan is good but he’s not an elite pitcher. He is a 2.5-3.5 war guy you want as your #2 or #3. I could be wrong but I don’t think they’re getting a top 20 prospect in all of MLB for him.

    Twins eat no money: horrible trade
    Twins eat <$20M: bad trade
    Twins eat $20m-$40M: ok trade
    Twins eat $40M-$60M: good trade
    Twins eat >$60M: great trade

    They wouldn't deal him if they didn't, in my opinion

    Sub 3 ERA, cheap and 3 years control

    They aren't dealing him for two guys with good ceilings but also very low floors

    I would put the chances of Yainer being traded in-season at about 0.1-0.5%

    I think Mullins is a great complementary player to bring in behind Correa.

    Per mlb trade rumors.

    "Correa's power is down substantially this season, and his ground ball rate has spiked to 48.5%--its highest level in five years".

    His “power” isn’t down. He’s hit for fewer extra base hits because he’s hit a lot of grounders but his bat speed and exit velo are still very very good.

    Id like to keep Diaz. I can’t remember the last time we had a legit offensive threat at C. Besides old McCann and stupid Mitch McLusky.

    Can we just bring the band back together with JV, Morton and Correa and call it a decent deadline?
