I\u2019ve been saying it all offseason. Larnach is redundant and unnecessary with the Twins\u2019 current roster construction. Let\u2019s get more specific this time.<\/p>\n
Larnach is a perfectly good bat with a knack for hitting with runners in scoring position. He\u2019s very limited defensively and on the base paths which is fine for other teams to stash in left field, but the Twins need all the quality defense they can get with questionable fielders across the team outside of Buxton. They also have Alan Roden ready to play now and two left-handed top prospects who will play at some point in 2026.<\/p>\n

The Mariners, handily, have ginormous holes in right field and DH and a plethora of relievers. You won\u2019t get Mu\u00f1oz or Brash, but Eduard Bazardo should be available. This seems like the most logical trade in history and I don\u2019t know why both sides haven\u2019t made it yet. Plus it lets the Twins start to replenish the depleted Ed stash.<\/p>\n
Is there another trade you think makes sense, or should Larnach be a Mariner yesterday?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019ve been saying it all offseason.
