Top 2 things twins should do this offseason

I don't know how aggressive we will be in the offseason, but here are some thi

1. Time to go hunting for an elite starting pitcher 

We see with teams that win championships and make deep playoff runs, they have at least one or two high end or one elite level starter. The Twins best pitcher right now, probably either Tyler Mahle or Sonny Gray, are at best on other teams a third or fourth pitcher on a championship contender. We have no guy in our pitching staff that has "that guy" mentality other than Duran, who should be our closer. I don't think we have a shot at a Degrom or Kershaw, but somebody like a Carlos Rodon, or heck, even Justin Verlander, would be very ideal for the Twins to at least take a shot at.  Trading for somebody wouldn't be too bad either, maybe a Pablo Lopez perhaps? 

2. Sign a SS, Correa or anyone else 

Ideally, we all want one of the best free agent signings in Twins history to return after he opted out of his contract recently, but with potential mega offers coming from teams like the Dodgers and Yankees, the Twins might not be able to outbid them. Luckily, we have three other pretty good options, namely Xander Bogaerts, Dansby Swanson and Trea Turner. Turner ideally would be my choice at SS if Correa doesn't come back. He's such a dynamic athlete with elite level speed and good enough power who is almost always guarantee to hit .300 every season. I would love if the Twins got Turner, but all of the other top options at short would be great. 

There are of course other things the Twins desperately need this offseason, including Catcher and relief pitcher, SP and SS I think are the two biggest needs this offseason.
