I think the most likely outcome...
Twins miss the playoffs.
Injuries are used an excuse.
Rocco and the front office are retained.
Sacrificial lambs - Watkins and Popkins.
Master class is signing AAA+ arms to the round out the bullpen. Talk will be about how the Twins 'see something' they like.
Lots of positive press in January / February about the health of Correa, Buxton, Royce and Ryan.
First free agent signing is bargain bin starting pitcher to compete with SWR and Festa.
Opening Day.
