The Twins supposedly offered Hicks and Ramos yesterday. The media has been pumping the hell out of Ramos, but Hicks would be the big get in the deal. Hicks is the #9 rated minor league prospect in all of baseball, whereas Ramos is something like #58. Ramos is being compared to another catching prospect the M's already have in their system, Adam Moore, who is a decent prospect but nothing to get too excited over.
Having said all that, I read today that the M's and Twins aren't close on anything. This is yet another rumor, but some people are speculating the M's want more than Hicks and Ramos -- maybe an extra piece like Kyle Gibson thrown in.
Alonso from the Reds is a possibility as well, but the Reds would have to throw in at least one other player for the M's to do it. And I guess today Gammons is saying that he's hearing there's a possible 3-way deal that could happen with BJ Upton, Cliff Lee, and another team.
Who the hell knows? I'm sure there will be 37 more trade possibilites talked about in the next 3 days.
