Twins Video
The current Twins regime has gained a deserved reputation for being deliberate in their offseason maneuvering, letting the big names go off the board, seeing how the dust settles, then hitting the trade market and scouring for bargains and reclamation projects.
This drives otherwise normal fans absolutely bananas. Everyone’s doing stuff, but we’re just here getting nostalgic about Emilio Pagán. Despite knowing better, the impulse to demand action is hard to avoid.
And that’s OK. You should be passionate about your favorite team. Here are some productive ways for Twins fans to encourage the franchise to start making moves for 2024.
- Go to Target Field every Wednesday at 5pm. If you someone working in the company store or a custodian, yell “LET’S GO, C’MON NOW” at them for one minute. They will be confused, but will appreciate your enthusiasm.
- Flood beat writers with questions on social media and email. Although some of the journalists covering the team have a reputation for being short with people, they love nothing more than hundreds of fans asking the same questions about payroll and trade targets. Have a conspiracy theory? Even better! “I love these interactions,” says The Athletic’s Dan Hayes. At least I think that’s what he would say.
- Smack your TV or computer monitor on the side when you’re watching MLB TV. Maybe that’ll knock something loose. It worked for Fonzie.
- Wear your dumbest Twins merch. Did you buy a Tsuyoshi Nishioka jersey? Get ill-fitting Twins Zubaz as a gift? Have a giveaway hat from a Metrodome-era game with a sponsor that no longer exists? All of these things? This is how you show the universe you will follow this team into hell, and they should make a move to reward your steadfast loyalty.
- Mutter “Do something already. Man.” Constantly. You’re likely already doing this.
- Overreact to moves by the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers. Constantly. You’re likely already doing this. “What if Michael Wacha is this year’s Sonny Gray?” Seems unlikely, but that won’t stop you from getting into a good lather about Minnesota’s relative inactivity.
- Laugh at the plight of the godless Chicago White Sox. Constantly. You’re likely already doing this. It’s good to laugh!
Finally, and most importantly: Don’t let it ruin the holidays. The temptation is there. You can let this bug the entire hell of you right into the new year. But don’t. This is what the Vikings are for.
