Every team has decisions to make as they construct their roster for opening day and plan for the season. It just seems the Twins have unnecessarily boxed themselves in this winter with the current roster construction.
Used to be that teams carried 10 pitchers, now they carry 13. MLB expanded the roster from 25 to 26 but that still leaves teams crunched for positional players. I think they should have expanded the rosters to 27 and hope they do unless starting pitchers go back to throwing more complete games, which I don't see happening.
The fact that we're considering roster contortions to fit in a 30 year old backup catcher with a career OPS+ of 46 when even playing .500 ball seems like a small miracle just blows my mind.
