I agree with quite a bit of this, but maybe for different reasons. I’m not so concerned about awful baseball for 50 games if they trade some studs. The next wave of young talent will be here soon. And I think supplementing that with a few more solid-to-great prospects or even current mlb players with control is worth watching bad baseball for a couple months. But what I am concerned about is the Twins attempting to do some half-assed buy/sell that I’ve seen some people pushing for. The idea of trading your best hitter (when he’s been on the field) and then also buying some relievers and maybe a back end arm is kind of crazy to me. If you’re going to sell, just sell. And if you’re going to buy, just buy. The margins for this team are thin. They need every hand on deck if they are going to make a miracle run to the playoffs.

I've started to reach an inner peace on however the season goes. Seems like there are two scenarios: A.) Twins keep playing well and add at the deadline. At worst, we get playoff race and at best, they end up in the postseason. October baseball is awesome. Whether they get in at 81-81 or win the division with a 101 wins a la 2019, it don't matter to me. Just get in. OR B.) They falter on the road trip out of the gate and don't recover. They move Ryan and Jeffers and a few others and add to farm system that now boasts Jenkins, Lackey, Culpepper, E-rod, and a rising Houston. If they play their cards right on another sell, they could end up with a top 3 farm system with essentially everyone in their top 10 ready to contribute by 2028. I can live with either of these. Especially because keeping Ryan and Jeffers provides opportunity in the offseason (trade Ryan or offer a contract, offer Jeffers QO). So even if they miss the postseason after buying, there is still ways to recoup value on them.
