So, you're saying, if it wasn't what you wanted or would have done it's wrong and low-class? I know that's not what you are saying, but that's how you are reading. I'm pretty sure that Molitor was paid the remaining of his contract, it happened at the end of the season, and it really wasn't so surprising, imo. Wes leaving mid-season wasn't great, but that has been explained on every level. College ball operates on a different schedule and he needed to begin immediately. I know many aren't happy with taking the answer at face value because of course it had to be something else. This is the way it works and the Twins understood and let him go. While the timing was very unfortunate, that's just how it worked.
As to how that impacted the team ... we can only guess.
