4Added $ just to make it work. This one hurts for both teams but also benefits them. Twins 1b black hole is fixed for a while and A's get two solid starter prospects. One ready at ST the other by July/August. Oh, and the Twins are going for it rather than burning down.
Down vote for the A's. They don't want to trade Soderstrom but if they shopped him, it would be to get impact pitching that help them win in 2026. They want to add someone that can push Severino and Springs down the rotation chart. Mick Abel is not that arm, he's been too inconsistent to be pencilled in as anything other than a back-end SP. Prielipp is a fine pitching prospect but I don't see how he's different or better than what the A's already have in-system with Gage Jump and Jamie Arnold.

I can't argue with your comments. I agree. BUT No FA''s pitchers are going to want to play there till Las Vegas is settled. Anybody that swings a bat for a living will. Which is why I think this a fair trade for both teams. Adels pitching l suffer in Sacramento and so will Soderstrom's DPS at Target field. It should even out and be a good baseball trade for both teams
I like to believe it's more than my fandom that makes me think Soderstrom's suffering at Target Field would be far more productive than Abel's in Sacramento; 2024 ended my favorable opinion of Abel. I think the A's are well positioned, both in payroll and prospects, to acquire a SP like Singer or Bubic. Or maybe an arm from Pittsburgh if they're feeling frisky for more young, unproven bats. And some FA will be on the outside looking in during the winter and the A's might have another over-pay in them. Severino got held up by the QO... maybe Michael King will find himself in a similar situation? 2 years/$50 MM with an opt-out after 2026...???
