Mediocrity, meaning the goal is .500. Trouble is, I do like some of the young studs brought up in September..something is there. If they keep.these players....and actually add players that can contribute...not retreads or coming off TJ surgery (again....payroll has to rise significantly..which will be mandatory for them, if MLB institutes floor and ceiling for spending). This division is always winnable, just try and give fans a reason to actually go to games and support you!

What is the fascination of mediocrity with the Twins. Hoffman is a decent middle reliever at best! Is this all there is to talk about to pump up remaining staunch Twins followers! Sad state of affairs. I won't be dropping any coins in the Twins owners coffers ever again, at least in person! I'm 64 and done! There are better things and value to spend my retirement income on! I was a huge follower (outstate) when you younger, not so.much now!

Ahhh...yes!!!

People, let's get real here: 1). There will be a loooonnnnggg strike to start next year; players won't give up the right to earn as much as they can, let alone rights to free agency clauses!!!!!! 2). Ober's arm is gassed, er um, shot...tops out at 88....no thanks, especially for 7 mil., or more!!! 3). Twins keep Ryan, Lopez, Bradley, Preilliep, and an acquired mid level starter next year (remember Pohlad said they would up the payroll..significantly 😉😉, but also remember..payrolls will be more balanced once the strike is finished, so he...Pohlad won't have a choice😉😉). MLB wants to have more salary balance between teams; right now just hand trophy to the Dodgers annually, with Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Braves, Red Sox always filling in occasionally as next runnerup annually, meaning always filling playoff spots do to high payrolls (and, I know, having high payrolls doesn't guarantee anything, but I would take my odds to Vegas though)! 😎. I will say Tampa and Cleveland have done exceptionally well with low payrolls annually though... touche'! Keep young position player studs, outside Royce (trade), in addition to finding a couple multi-position players (not scrap heap either) to fill in when others need a rest. Next year, I would want to be ultra aggressive on base paths, putting more pressure on other teams pitchers, catchers and outfielders with base gambling...I like my odds there!!! Better odds of winning %-wise, plus, makes games more interesting and exciting. Lastly, more in-game sound effects/music, like Yankee Stadium; we don't go to funerals and cemeteries to watch games!!!!!!! We need an "experience", especially when you need to take out a loan just to see a game with a family!!!! Your welcome! Go Wild 🏒

Ty France...R U high? You love mediocrity! Twins are tight, always will be! I will never go to another Twins game, until MLB fixes payroll disparities and ownership actually wants to be successful! Period!!!!!!!!!!

Don't put forth to have a winning team is a "no-go" for me! Besides: a strike next year, can't already afford to go to games, can"t find a place to even watch your home team on TV (I have cable..harder to find...now you need all these streaming platforms), and you have the "haves and have not" team payrolls discrepancies. Nice try MLB, meaning lose customer base, let alone future customer base!!!

Put forth a viable and fair product worth coming to and fans will show, don't....and see ya turnstiles, meaning attendance lower than this season's dismal one! Owners spend thriftily fans do accordingly! This isn't rocket science. 17 years with the "needed stadium or threaten to move" and payroll has gotten lower and lower! Besides, baseball isn't fair anyway, being big markets (cough, like Dodgers and other ilk) outspend Guardians Rays, Marlins, Rockies, Royals, Twins

Laurnach won't be around. He is a nice guy, but average hitter! Jenkins needs slightly more minor league seasoning.

Ahhh...you don't get a hamstring strain, pulled lat, groin pull, dislocated shoulder, etc, meaning yes, I know, but.....the equivalent (workplace related) is sickness, laziness, not showing up at all or insubordination as, somewhat, relative comparison, that is all I was saying! You don't pull a hamstring sitting at a desk, or get hurt by tossing scrap paper into a waste paper basket! 😉😎

I know, but he would if it is amicable in the end to all parties, meaning Twins, new team and his wife/kids.

Nice guy...overrated somewhat! No way in heck this guy shouldn't drive in 90+ runs, score 80+, steal 30 bases and be on the field 9 out of 10 games (dh included). Period! Like Bud Grant said: "The best ability is availability"! Trade him this off-season; waayyy injury liability. Does your boss let you call in sick, feel tired not to show up at all, etc, 1-2 work week days every three weeks and be o.k. with that?! Didn't think so!

Ryan has a tired arm! Also, Ober's arm is toast! There!

No! Team will be under .500 at season end, maybe 10 games under. They had a chance, especially with a good group of solid guys whom have really overachieved! Shame on the Twins ownership for basically giving the fans the double barrel middle fingers when this division was the easiest of all to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Middle finger back to them! Actually, at start if season, I thought they would go 70-92, but kudos to the guys!

Ahhhh...zero chance; look for a loooooonnnnnggggg lockout!

Updated narratives: Uhhh, team still stinks, like I have stated starting the season! There is no reason, especially with the tightly imposed budget and lousy roster, not to bring up the young studs for their (again) perpetual rebuild! This would at least bring energy and build experience for the future team. Might not matter anyway with the current ownership... worthless!!! You expect fans to move the turnstiles...give me a break. I didn't even mention future tv contract, which will not be their first average fans!!!!!!!!!!!! Sell ..move team...bye!
