The WS is over, now what?

The offseason will likely be compressed due to the impending lockout. Sure hope Tom, Zoll, and his baseball Ops team are ready for action. Could be a flurry of trades and signing like the last lockout. Don’t want to be caught in December with your pants down.

They can't mess around. Competitive Bids right out of the box. Tom once said Go Big or Go Home. Competitive Go Big bids right away... or they go home.   

Unless they have inside information that the new CBA will change the game and they want to wait for the game to change.

They'll need to get pieces in place before a lockout occurs. Free agents may want to deal before the lockout so they could sign quicker. 

I'm guessing of course. I have no idea how the market will play out. Who does?

The last time there was a lockout, most of the signings occurred in November.  Falvey decided to wait and let the market settle and of course by the time it did, everyone was signed.  And he was left with scraps in March when they came back.  

Hopefully Zoll and his staff are ready to go today and have a plan in place.  And he has Tom P. on speed dial to approve any additional expenses that haven't already been discussed.

This article is great, and Steve is a Minnesotan. Thanks for sharing.

I do think some of the best ways to help the roster will have to be through trades instead of free agency. Hopefully Zoll is bold and aggressive as much as possible

We will know by December 1 whether the Twins will have a decent team for 2027.
