If the "landscape changed in the final week" before the deadline, a front office with vision would have anticipated the possibility and traded for much needed bullpen/RH hitter help earlier, out in front of that change. If Cleveland was a seller, all the more reason to beef up for the stretch run and to give the Twins an even slightly better shot in the post season.
And if the roster wasn't worth investing in, then Falvey/Levine are failures for 2023 by definition and should be blown out at season's end.
The failure to improve the team at the deadline is abysmal, a betrayal of Twins fans.
