This has been an interesting thread, and people have been frank yet respectful. Nick, you have done a great job of keeping this interesting and you have received some great analysis from our members. I tend to agree with those who would like to see the Twins go for an ace and a LF. Most of us seem to view these positions as areas of need, but some people have expressed concern about the likelihood that an ace free agent would want to play for a 90+ loss team. I wonder if Scherzer might appreciate the benefits of playing at Target Field and the general ambiance of the Twin Cities. Maybe Scherzer appreciates the devotion/class of Twins fans that he sees when he plays at Target Field and maybe he would like to be the undisputed leader of a pitching staff. Maybe Scherzer would like to be part of a rebuilding effort that will soon include Buxton, Sano etc. If the Twins were to offer top dollar, it seems like Scherzer might logically conclude that playing for the Twins could be his best move.
