I've read Hunter to the Giants for Marquis Grissom and a young pitcher. Probably just a rumor...
The Twins have a logjam of talented outfielders in the minors at the moment so there's always going to be talk of trades. I'm kind of surprised that Jacque Jones is still around.
Beltran in a Twins uniform does sound nice though, huh? Right after we sign Pedro...
The Twins won't trade the best centerfielder in baseball for a 37-year old outfielder and a pitcher unless he's Jason Schmidt.
Jones is arbitration eligible this year and word is he's gone. I think that's good - he strikes out way too much and he's blocking the path of younger, potentally better players. Jones' ceiling appears to be 25 homers and 110 strikeouts - not worth it in today's market.
It's bad enough we can't afford $4 million a year for Cristian Guzman when our owner is wealthier than George Steinbrenner. Carl Pohlad wants a new stadium and he won't get it by trading Torii Hunter.
Regarding Pedro .. who's your "we"? :)
