I thought trading Dozier was the right call. He's a free agent in the offseason and they're nowhere near contending. The odds he re-signed seemed 50/50 at best, so might as well get something for him. The underwhelming return changes that thought only slightly.
There's plenty to like about him. You can even add in that he won a gold glove last year. It's a two-way street though. Dozier's been on a miserable team for almost his whole career, and there are other (better) teams that will be willing to pay him more. Why stay if you're Dozier?
You're not going to get a lot for a rental especially one whose biggest selling point is his 2nd half production. Until the Pohlads are gone I'm not going to put to much of my own time into the Twins.
Who?
Absolutely agree, at the same time, he was getting open last season and Case hardly ever saw him when he did... though Case missed a lot of open receivers besides as well, which was why I thought Cousins was an upgrade in the first place.Who?
That's nice, but I'll believe it when I see it in a game. The "third year breakout" has always been a thing for WRs, so I'm willing to give him another year to breakout, but after this year, he's done if he doesn't improve.
Imagine if he does become a solid receiver. Cousins, Cook, Rudolph, Diggs, Thielen, Treadwell. That will be tough to stop (disregarding offensive line issues).
