A moderate upgrade to a position that is not their biggest weakness. I guess if he goes nuts again and has another 40+ HR season he could be a BIG upgrade but I just doubt that he'll repeat last season.

Don't see how that one gets done without Reyes.


Reyes + Wong & what else?

There are players out there where I'd be willing to give up Reyes, but Dozier is not one of them.

Unless they believe he can play 3B (I've not watched much if any Twins baseball and have no idea if that's the case.)

I like Dozier a lot, but I'm curious where they would envision him playing.

Going to guess that a package of Weaver, Peralta, plus, won't do the trick.

Also, this is interesting from wiki
Dozier is a Christian. Dozier has spoken about his faith saying, "I tell all the time, I'm a Christian just playing baseball on the side. That's what I stand for...".[12] In November 2013, Dozier went with the mission group Amigos for Christ to Nicaragua for a week. While on the trip, Dozier helped dig a new clean water system for a small community and helped deliver a cow and a pig to the community for food.[13]

He'd fit right in.

There's a zero percent chance they trade Reyes for Dozier and they wouldn't need to either.

Weaver, Wong, Bader could get you Dozier, I think. Dozier had two really really good seasons, but he's not a "trade your best prospect" for type good.

If I had to guess, this has the makings of the Twins trying to leverage the Dodgers into getting the exact package they want more than aggressive interest on the Cardinals' part. The Cardinals don't have a great comp for DeLeon(the widely rumored lead piece from LA) without going above that to the Reyes level. That said, something like Weaver, Wong, and a high ceiling/low level prospect is probably a decent approximation of the value Dozier would command.
