In order for the Twins to field a team that could compete for a championship this year, they would have had to sign free agents for damn near every starting position and 4 of 5 starting pitchers. Neglecting for a minute the impossibility and unprecedented nature of this feat, it would have cost 300 million dollars. But the Pohlads surely are rich and can afford it so why not, right? Seriously, there isn't a need right now to load up with long term contracts for mediocre pitchers to win 83 games instead of 72. Wait until May and Gibson are up and Sano and Buck are knocking on the door, and use FA to fill some holes or add a good starter.
