Many of us, including me, advocating finishing the tear down and accelerate the re-build by dealing Ryan and Jeffers and possibly Lopez this off-season.
Tragically, we were right. The Twins tried to straddle by trading some pieces and retaining others and it now has killed their chances for a solid rebuild.
Back to square one.
Hope the new CBA can make smaller market teams relevant again in this wonderful sport. Otherwise, might as well adopt a second team that actually gets to play in October....
