Question

Will the Twins make a trade before the deadline?

Answer 1

yes, but not anything worth noting.

Answer 2

Not much time left so I'm thinking no.  Still, with Griffey to the Sox, that may put some pressure on the Twins to grab someone with a bat.  If the Manny deal to Pittsburgh doesn't go through, that may leave Jason Bay for the Twins.  However, they look to be pretty solid in the outfield.

Would be nice to find someone to replace Alexi at 2nd that can help with the push.  Overall, they have a good young team that should get better the next couple years resulting in a real push for a championship when the new stadium opens.  I don't think they'd do anything to risk that.

Last thought - they still have the 2 minor league pitchers they got from the Mets for Santana.  Wonder if they may play a role in some dealings?

Answer 3

I doubt it and if so it will be a small deal.

Answer 4

They haven't been rumored to make any big trade.

Answer 5

I really hope so. I would love to see them package Livan Hernandez with Michael Cuddyer for someone like Adrian Beltre or Garrett Atkins. This would be perfect, because if the Twins are going to be in the Playoff Hunt, they need a good 3rd Baseman. They could make Denard Span (who is better than Cuddyer) the full time RF and replace Livan with Francisco Liriano in the Rotation.
