Let's take a look at the Twins traded away in the offseason, or deadline for Mahle, and how they performed compared to the players acquired.
Twins traded away this year:
| Name | PAs/IP | wRC+/ERA- | rWAR | fWAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mitch Garver | 215 | 100 | 0.4 | 0.3 |
| Isiah Kiner-Falefa | 490 | 86 | 2.7 | 1.1 |
| Josh Donaldson | 495 | 101 | 2.6 | 1.8 |
| Spencer Steer | 64 | 84 | 0.1 | 0.0 |
| Brent Rooker | 36 | 15 | -0.5 | -0.4 |
| Taylor Rogers | 60.1 | 127 | -0.9 | 0.9 |
DRS likes Kiner-Falefa's fielding but UZR and OAA rate him as average. Similar with Donaldson but OAA agrees with DRS.
Rogers has replicated his 2020 season where he has a below average ERA but above average/good FIP. Although his FIP since the trade to Milwaukee has also been bad but it was very good with San Diego.
Acquired Twins this year:
| Name | PAs/IP | wRC+/ERA- | rWAR | fWAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gary Sánchez | 425 | 87 | 0.5 | 1.1 |
| Gio Urshela | 495 | 112 | 2.5 | 1.6 |
| Chris Paddack | 22.1 | 105 | 0.2 | 0.9 |
| Emilio Pagán | 58.0 | 126 | -0.8 | -0.3 |
| Tyler Mahle | 16.1 | 115 | 0.1 | -0.1 |
I'm curious as to why you left out Jorge Lopez, Sandy Leon, and Michael Fulmer. Was it because the Twins didn't trade any major leaguers for them?
Yes. Same with Sonny Gray.
Mahle is borderline because the Twins didn't trade any major leaguers but Steer was called up soon after.
Cory says that last time out, Ober was on a pitch count. Before that game, Rocco had said he was not on a pitch count. I don't have a particular problem with him being on a pitch count in that game, but why not be honest about it?
Unless Cory misrepresented it. I don't think it's the first time the left hand and right hand didn't know for sure what's going on
Well, Cory specified that the pitch count last time was seventy pitches. I suppose he could've misunderstood, but he was pretty specific.
Solo home runs don't hurt you.
"Pitch count" may not come into play for Ober tonight.
This is not a good start to the game
Not shut out!

He probably turns into a serviceable platoon dude which really aint a bad way to have a career
Especially with his position flexibility.
All right Matt Wallner!
