Trying to compete?

[Twodogs]

I mean i get it.  Spring hope is eternal.  Don't get me wrong, I always want the Twins to do well, win the division and get to the big game.  To me that is the hope every season.  But I'm reading articles about Royce Lewis being done, Ryan Jeffers, trading Ryan and all of the arguments are legit from one side or the other.  

However, now I'm looking at the Twins competition within their division and I'm thinking the Twins maybe should go for a reset??  If you look at Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit; the Twins main competition next season and those teams are all younger as a team than the Twins.  So always hoping for a young core to take another step forward and improve some more on last season and then bang next thing you know they are contenders.  But the teams most likely to improve on their numbers from last season because of their youth and gaining more experience is Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit as they are all younger than the Twins.  So now for the Twins to out perform those squads they would need to sign some big free agents, one for the rotation one for the bullpen and probably a couple of big hitters that can play 1st base or somewhere that's important.  But we know the Twins are not going to go that route.  So at that point, why not just trade some of these older young guys and get some new young talent in??  I know its not a popular idea, but the Twins are older than the teams they will probably finish behind.
