Rumor: Twins Shopping Batting Champion Arraez for Pitching

This screams of the Twins selling high on Arraez. I would not give up any of our top end talent for him.

He has been about as consistent as you could get, never hitting less than .294. Doesn't bring much else than OBP, but that's a lot.

His OBP is good because he hits for a high average, not that he walks a lot. To give up top end talent, I'd prefer OBP and Slugging or at the very least potential for Slugging to go up. I think Arraez is what he is right now. A good player but not elite.

By BTV, this is slightly in the Twins favor 79.1 vs 78.9

 

*whistles softly*

That'd be a hell of a deal.

Oh, I just mean that's a lot of talent moving between two teams. I don't even know how to start unpacking the potential value for each team. It's a lot to sort out.

I like Arraez a bunch but agree that I wouldn't give up top end talent for him. I wouldn't do much more than Lauer and non top 10 prospect for him and the Twins will get much more than that. I am guessing he would go to 3rd if we did deal for him.

You really don't want Luis Arraez at third base. His arm is not good enough for the hot corner.
