When your team loses 90 games or more for the better part of a decade, you give the fans the right to suggest literally anything to help turn the franchise around, up to and including petitioning MLB to allow Sano the use of a service monkey to assist him in fielding at third base. That being said, signing Rodriguez now would make less sense than the flyer the Twins took on Kendry Morales in 2014, if Morales had also turned out to secretly be Emperor Palpatine.
