1. Walt Davis Posted: May 24, 2021 at 05:39 PM (#6020607)I think the interesting candidate is Maeda. He's having a tough year but has been a solid, unspectacular pitcher and is signed through 2023 for a mere $6.5 M. That's a solid asset. Then there's Sano. I'm not sure why he wasn't listed, he's FA at the end of the year too and has established himself as a good hitter (121 OPS+) although he gives back a good bit on defense. If they're thinking rebuild, Donaldson is the valuable piece you want to move.
I don't see any reason for the Twins to do a complete teardown and rebuild. Sell the impending free agents, adjust the roster to fix what isn't working and go for it again in 2022. I have seen suggestions to sell Buxton and Berrios but I think they should give them big contract extensions instead. I don't think I would sell Maeda, keep him around for 2022. They need starting pitching. Taylor Rogers is a piece that pretty much every contender would want and he's only under team control through 2022.
I agree, I was just speculating if they decide to. And you're right on Sano, I'd missed the buyout ... means you might get more for him.
The team has been trying to extend both for years now and they cannot arrive at a deal. Local speculation is they might get one, but doubts are high they get both. Two amazingly gifted players who for different reasons just never seem to have seasons equal to their promise - I can see why the Twins are reluctant to pay full freight for both.
You said should though, and ... maybe? Both are risks and old enough I don't want to pay for potential (well, if it were my money, it ain't so sure, spend away). I suspect Berrios is more likely to be with the team long-term, but that is a guess.
