The Minnesota Twins have some difficult decisions to make this winter, including whether to trade some of their veterans to open spots and payroll space. Here's my offseason blueprint with splashes and changes up and down the roster and farm system.

Peralta is pretty darn good and has 3 years of control.  Gurriel has some appeal too but we need someone who can step into CF as needed.   I also don't see him getting an AAV of $20M. He has not had that level of impact. Trade rumors has him at 4/$54M.  If we are going to give up Lee, I would rather they trade a combination of Polanco/Kepler/Lee with Seattle for one of their young guys that potential has more upside and more years of control.  It would also leave even more payroll space to go get a CFer and a BP arm.

I like the ideas of adding Peralta and Gurriel Jr. What I'm wondering about is who would take on Christian Vazquez for $20 million. I like Vazquez and think the Twins still need his steady hand but I'm more intrigued whether it is is possible for a team to take the contract.
