One reason being that there are many impending free agents playing, who the Twins could pursue this offseason.

After being among the best teams in baseball all year, they drew an ideal Postseason matchup in the Houston Astros, and immediately proceeded to fall flat. It was the offense that let them down, and now they must decide if a key contri...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9954</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Early Offseason Outline: The Future is Now</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-early-offseason-outline-the-future-is-now-r9952/</link><description>There are plenty of decisions for Minnesota&#x2019;s front office to consider in the months ahead. The Twins have won back-to-back AL Central titles, but their playoff frustrations have continued.

Due to the injury history of the infield, the club would serve themselves well to give careful attention to this role. Putting high importance on finding a player that can backup at shortstop.

This season in Minnesota&#x2019;s most important game neither Josh Donaldson or Byron Buxton were on the field and both players have a lengthy injury history.

Speculation doesn&#x2019;t change anything but maybe, just maybe, would the Twins have had better success if 2020 consisted of a tra...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9949</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2020 01:30:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>It&#x2019;s Time to Turn the Page on the Bomba Squad</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/it%E2%80%99s-time-to-turn-the-page-on-the-bomba-squad-r9948/</link><description>2019 seems like a lifetime ago. Much like the world we live in, our Minnesota Twins were completely different. The Bomba Squad reigned supreme (aside from in October of course), and you can&#x2019;t blame the Twins for running it back in 2020. What we learned since then however is that it&#x2019;s time to move...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">9948</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2020 01:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Payroll Primer and Key Decisions</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-payroll-primer-and-key-decisions-r9944/</link><description>Unfortunately we&#x2019;re talking about the offseason much earlier than we would&#x2019;ve liked. Still, this is another critical winter for the Twins. Let&#x2019;s take a look.

We all know this feeling. Now let&#x2019;s take a look back at the moves that were made last offseason. Which ones were the most impactful and which ones fell flat?

Just to recap, here are the notable offseason acquisitions that played this year.

Now, the Twins &#x2014; and baseball at large &#x2014; look ahead to an offseason of unprecedented uncertainty.
As we size up the months ahead, here are the top five questions on my mind.
