Baseball is a business , to keep the fans filling the seats they have to keep the players fans want to see playing ....
They found away to keep puckett and threw money at Mauer , they signed Correa in free agency , Donaldson to , they got creative with Buxton ...
The above mentioned players were all star players , ( except maybe Donaldson , at least for the twins ) ...
Lewis has star potential and is a game changer , you don't keep Lewis as a twins player , you won't keep the devoted fans coming to the stadium ...
Options ;;;;
Get creative and sign him to an incentive ladened contract ...
Or second option , get an owner that loves baseball and wants to win the whole shooting match, by spending money to win ( its called keeping up with the Jonies)
