I still like next year as the year to start pushing all the chips in. We'll enter the off-season with 6-7 top 100 prospects and hopefully better clarify on payroll (could also be reduced again).
We'll have Lopez, Ober, and Ryan as our big 3. Now we find out what have in SWR, Festa, Varland, Matthews, and Paddack (I have confidence in him next year with a rested arm).
We can shop around in the off-season and pay less of a premium on a solid controllable starter.
The Twins future is bright and we have alot of controllable big leaguers and a ton of promising prospects. FO has done a hell of a job the past few years!
