The Twins came into the offseason with very few needs as a whole. They were set to lose Gray and Maeda and Mahle to free agency. This was planned in advance with Lopez extension and the return of Paddack with his extension and the development of Varland. To get into the season the Twins felt that they needed at least 1 depth starter to make it to at least the trade deadline where they could trade for the pitcher, they need for the post season run. That is how I view what has happened so far
Twins fans seriously have to start letting the GM General manage and the manger manage and the players play. Getting really annoyed with twins fans in general these last few weeks.
