polanconeverblinks’s 2025 Payroll Blueprint: Realistic Twins Offseason

[polanconeverblinks]

Trades:

Paddack To Texas For Prospect(s)

(Texas Needs Pitching Depth We Give Them Paddack For Cheap)

Vazquez To Athletics For Prospect(s)

(They Need To Hit A Minimum Salary, So Here You Go A’s!)

Castro, Kalai Rosario, Andrew Morris To Astros For Luis Garcia ~ (Garcia Is Still In ARB Therefore Cheap & This Helps The Astros & The Twins Greatly)

Signings:

Elias Diaz 1yr 4.00 ~ Backs Up Jeffers & Is a Solid DH

Scott Alexander 1yr 2.50 ~ LHP Solid Bullpen Arm

Amed Rosario 1yr 4.00 ~ UTIL Replaces Castro

Randal Grichuk 1yr 3.5 ~ Need A RH OF +Solid For Price

Analysis:

Overall The Roster Improves On Its Needs But Overall Stays The Same Talent Wise. Rotation Finds The Starter It Needs, Bullpen Is Strong And Adds A LHP, Lineup Relatively Stays The Same And Bench Gets All The Necessary Pieces. The Roster Banks On Prospects Stepping Up And Stars Being Healthy, Those Two Key Things Are The Difference Between A 75 Win Team And A 90 Win Team.

Also Trading For Pavin Smith As A 27th Man Would Be A Great Option!
