Twins Working To Acquire Chris Paddack
The Minnesota Twins are "working to acquire" starting pitcher Chris Paddack from the San Diego Padres, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Although Rosenthal's tweet implies that a deal has not been finalized, it suggests that talks are gaining steam and this is more than mere interest. Paddack's name has been on the market for a little while, and he was listed as a potential target for the Mets if they traded Dominic Smith. (Spoiler alert: they didn't.) Regardless, Paddack, a former top prospect, is looking to bounce back from a 2021 campaign in which he went 7-7 with a 4.73 xERA, 1.26 WHIP, .274 xBA, .332 xwOBA, 21.6 percent strikeout rate, and 4.8 percent walk rate. Assuming this deal is finalized and Paddack carves out a key role in the Twins' rotation, he should have some fantasy value.
