I feel the Twins can trade now for a high impact starter who will be available for the playoffs, without depleting the farm system. The Twins can also do the same thing just before the trade deadline, whenever that is. I'm sure the Twins FO has already identified potential "Aces" who are on teams which will not be contending this year. And hopefully the FO is already exploring possible trades with an eye toward obtaining that Ace which we all agree will increase the Twins' chances of advancement in the playoffs this fall. By the way, after 7 straight years of playoff experience with no championship to show for the high payroll Dodgers, the Dodger fans are saying some desperate things on their posts. And just look at the Dodgers' current pitching staff. Attitude is critical. The Twins need to go ahead and size the players' ring fingers for their World Series rings and make that their goal...not just reaching the playoffs.
