Or how about we actually take a step back for one season (maybe half?) and focus on cleansing the roster of expiring assets, along with aquiring young ML talent.
Rather than signing 10 FA not named Manny Machado this offseason, I’d prefer the Twins FO to be out in the trade market targeting any one of these guys:
(ARI) (SS/2B) Ketel Marte
(BAL) (1B/OF) Trey Mancini
(TBR) (RHP) Yonny Chirinos
(OAK) (RHP) Frankie Montas
(NYY) (LHP) Justus Sheffield
(NYY) (RHP) Chance Adams
(HOU) (C/OF) Garret Stubbs
(PHI) (3B/SS) J.P. Crawford
(TBR) (UTL) Joey Wendle
What expiring assets are left? And why not buy one really good free agent, that will be here for the next four or five years, so you aren't trying to fill as many holes when Lewis and kiriloff are here?
And, I don't think I said I'd try to buy a whole team..... That's not going to happen.
