I’m workshopping this idea but I think the Twins need to hire an old-timey GM to do a short term turnaround. A Dave Dombrowski type, preferably him specifically, to get this team competitive so the Pohlads sell ASAP.
Acquiring 2 bullpen arms and a back of the rotation arm was all I could muster as well if my directive is being a buyer.
Zoll is not at the point in his career where he can tell a baseball newby like Tom P he’s wrong. We probably need an old timey baseball GM to lead us out of this mediocre purgatory.
We’ve had a bulk RBI guy problem for a long time. Bell is the first player to hit 90 RBI since Polanco knocked in 98 in 2021. 2022-2025 is pathetic looking at the top RBI players on this team. Jose Miranda led the 2022 Twins with 66 RBI for example. Buxton knocked in 83 last year.
One of the many reasons I refuse to fly American Airlines… I’ll never forget going to Kiawah Island South Carolina with some guys for a long weekend of golf. My golf clubs were placed on a different flight to the west coast. I could get my clubs delivered on Saturday night when we were heading home on Sunday morning…
Note that I was the only left handed golfer in the group of 8.
