What Would a Twins Rebuild Look Like?

Not even getting into injuries taking games away from players or not being able to shift the defense, Arraez is not the best option at 2B due to balky knees and hamstring issues. I also don't think a full rebuild is necessary, unless the team starts horribly and stays that way to the All-Star break or trade deadline. Most of your trades could be made then.

The corner OF situation needs to be resolved before the season, and I would trade Arraez instead of Polanco, younger and 1 more year of control. I would also stretch Duran out this winter and in spring training, if he fails, move him back to the BP. Also, a losing team doesn't need a closer.  

I don't think the team is done making moves this winter, as un-inspiring as they may be to the TD posters. Let's see where this ends up before tearing it down.

Have seen it a number of times & don't understand the logic of trading Arraez? Has played 4 seasons and has a career .313 BA. Can play 1st - 2nd - 3rd in a pinch.

Youth & player control coupled with productivity is what we wish every player was described as - Louis Arraez.

If you don’t have a closer you’ll have a losing team.
