How much trade value does Donaldson have if the Twins eat like 75% of his salary? Because if Jose Ramirez isn't on the table, I kinda really want the Jays to bring him back.

 

I would take him if Twins ate 40% of the contract.

Lol Randy with the 108mph groundout... classic

[John_Havok]

f***, coulda sworn he was at least a switch hitter....wonder who i was thinking of?

[JFD]

JD's durability is questionable at best and he's another RH bat.. Pay up for Ramirez please

[Jimcanuck]

Just wondering what it would take to land a guy like him via trade... yeah i know they probably aren;t looking at CF as an upgrade position right now given they just signed springer, but ... it's fun to think about the possibilities. He checks all the boxes the Jays need... better defense, LH bat...

 

A full season of a healthy Buxton is reasonably between 5 and 6 WAR, but he's made of glass so realistically 3 to 4 WAR. So roughly the Berrios cost?

 

Such a wide range of outcomes possible with Buxton, from 0 to ? WAR.

[Jonn]

I just don’t know why Cleveland would trade Jose Ramirez. They just need to get some of their pitching healthy and they could compete in that division as early as next season.

[InvincibleTiger]

Wow. A shutdown inning after we put 4 on the board. You watching Ryu?

[Effit]

Please Springer, just take my leg.

Not to mention that JD would likely stuff Chuckles in a locker.

Donaldson has had crap luck with the bat. His batted ball profile is still pretty elite. His xwoba is .377. He's had run of errors in the field. That could easily reverse course. I'd trade Grichuk for Donaldson.

Good point, lets bring him back in that case

I would pay to see that.

In what universe would the Twins accept Grichuk for Donaldson?

[JFD]

Soria or Thornton warming up yet?

[InvincibleTiger]

Thank god Soria isn't around for Charlie

[John_Havok]

Uh oh, my "Matz is about to give up a HR to Sano" sense is tingling.

[John_Havok]

well at least it wasn't a HR

[Effit]

I’m sick of walks burning us. Get out of this.

The player has no value if you if you have to eat 40% of the salary to trade him. We're trading our garbage for their garbage. Grichuk is probably worth 5 mil a season and is owed 2 years 20. Donaldson has 2 years 44 plus an 8 mil buyout. If their goal is resetting and reducing payroll it isn't that a deal. I'd throw in a lottery ticket prospect. They could eat half the money and get a slightly better prospect but no one is giving big prospects for Donaldson. The injury risk is too big, the buyout in the third year is 8 mil and he doesn't have the best clubhouse reputation.

[Effit]

Nice!

[InvincibleTiger]

Nice job Richards

[havok24]

Sweet they got out of that jam.

[Omar]

The Silver Fox.....money!

[Jonn]

I don’t know how Valera is doing it. But he’s doing it.

[travisinfla]

hit other way outside pitch no one there

[Jonn]

It better not be f***ing Soria for the 8th. I swear to god

[Inklink]

1 batter for Richards eh?

[travisinfla]

randy has such a flawed swing
