Twins off-season trade bait

Most probable trade bait in a package for the Twins in their quest for a power-hitting third baseman this offseason: outfielders Delmon Young or Michael Cuddyer, plus one of five starting pitchers.

Are there many power hitting 3b's out there right now?

October 9, 2008  09:36 AM ET

not sure where they are going to find one, but the Twins had a great team this year, why mess with it.. i wouldn't trade Young, or Cuddy.. they are great pieces for the twins

i agree they had a good team with surprising young arms on the staff. while it wouldn't hurt to get a little more power in their lineup. i wouldn't give up any part of their rotation for a big bat. find some power on the free agent market....i mean they were still right up there in the majors in overall runs per game.

This is one of those team that get busy during the off season in trades. They tend to keep their core players though - Morneu - Mauer...

The Twins never make off season trades except for possibly signing scrap-heap has-beens. Please, get a decent third baseman. I'm sick of Nick Punto sucking up AB's with his .382 SLG %.

The Yankees will give them A-Rod for Young, Slowey, and Mauer!

October 9, 2008  07:45 PM ET

or preferably Morneau over Mauer..

Get it done Cash!

there is nothing like young **** on a club. keep arod, yanks

Young is too young to give up on yet. Trade Cuddyer and his slowwwww bat to anyone who bites; along with either Blackburn or Perkins. Need a third baseman for 2 - 3 years until a catcher (Wilson Ramos) can be developed so Mauer can be moved to third.

Maybe the Twins should try to keep players unless it is going to improve your team right now! Unless maybe the GM has a thing for trade talk in the papers?

Hopefully the O's sent Mora to the Twins for Young and give Mora a shot at playing in October next year.
