The buyout for this year was already included in the trade made last year. Spending that Dodger money. 

Farmer should be next with a 250K buyout on a mutual option worth 6 MIllion.

Julien should be sent down the road next; looking at his page on Baseball Ref., I see he is similar to another ex-Twins player:

Yeah But...

The Twins can't afford 6m for what Farmer produces. 

The Twins can afford the major league minimum for what Julien produces.

I'm not as emphatic, but I like his chances. I'm not sure if a new hitting coach can iron out the team-wide epidemic of inconsistent hitting, but the roller coaster production isn't just a Julien thing. Just about all the players are doing it, which makes me think there's an underlying issue the team hasn't addressed yet.

If a new coach can make his glove work as well as Johnny Goryl, That , would be a miracle.
