Around SBN: Terry Collins, David Wright, And The Mets/Brewers Kerfuffle

Sid Hartman has some quotes from Twins General Manager Bill Smith on the approaching deadline. You have to say this for the Smith regime: they tell no secrets.

Gamesmanship

I think Smith is just trying to get the Pirates to drive their price down.

Felipe Lopez dealt to Brewers

For jack squat. Twins missed out on this one. Equivalent of Rob Delaney and Dustin Martin.

He's a gamble, too.

Having a good year, but with his track record nothing is guaranteed. Between the costs and the benefits, the choice between picking up Lopez or Grudz is a push. Lopez might be a better player, but he’s making more money and would have cost the Twins something…even if only Delaney and Martin.

Trade or buy

Maybe they could trade for an established player for a change. How about HUNTER.
