I dunno, you guys. I agree with Aaron. I'm not sure a team that's played .810 baseball for six weeks necessarily needs a big trade. BG wouldn't mind a 4 or 5 starter, but this whole future rotation of Santana, Liriano, Garza, Slowey, Baker/Perkins/Boof is pretty hott and BG doesn't want the dream to die for a rent-a-player. The Twins are in the very weird situation of suddenly having power hitters (Thank you Doctor and Cuddles), the kind of guy who can (and does) change a game with one swing, plus a bunch of guys we need to rotate through the DH role when not starting. We have a little weight to shed--one too many outfielders, maybe, and perhaps in the bullpen, but I don't feel that--unless we can get a deal for a solid 4 or 5, which probably ain't going to happen--we need to move. What thinkest thou?
Edit: The Geek says this is bad news for Twins fans.
