One Intriguing Way the Twins Could Use Their Remaining Money

[Blyleven2011]

Payroll ...

Spend it or not spend it , that is the question  ....

Cleveland had a low payroll last year and won the weak division but they made it to the playoffs  and collapsed  ...

You don't need a large payroll to win , I say let the young players play and see where it gets us ,,,

Would like for us to get a stronger bullpen  and if we're winning at the deadline , then pursue a top starting pitcher for the playoffs push  , a left hander is needed but at this time we don't need him , see if he has a bounce back season  ...

Fun to speculate, but there is zero indication or reporting that the Red Sox have any interest in moving Sale.  He has negative trade value, so they would have to pay salary or send along assets to get him moved.  I don't see that happening, so this topic is intellectually interesting but unrealistic based on current information.

My intriguing idea: take that cash, make a huge pile, douse it with gasoline, light it, and watch it burn.

Neither Nick's idea or mine will help the Twins win, but mine would actually be intriguing.

This has become an interesting gamble after the events of today.

Trevor Story is going under the knife for ligament repair leaving Boston even more devoid of infielders, and the Twins just happened to solve SS for a couple years. 

Is there something to be worked out with Polanco/ Farmer/ Gordon headlining a deal to bring Sale to MN?

Its an injury risk riddled move that has a low floor and high ceiling but that seems to be a Falvine special at this point.
