Minnesota Twins' Strategy: A Misguided Trade Approach?

Make so if that minnesota is gonna root a day They didn't sell instead of uh buying some of those pieces in the back end But you didn't think minnesota should be a buyer. You also didn't take them serious Uh to win the division I tend to agree with you here as we're heading into what week number two of uh of august And I don't see them putting together a 15, you know 15 out of 20 game winning streak here to you, especially with joe ryan getting hurt now Yeah, i'm not yeah ryan status very much up in the air Uh, yeah, I I don't know what they were thinking and you know The one thing you want to do is you want to give credit? to the organization for trying a little bit but it was like not even half in it kind of felt like like a third of The way like just bullpen arms, like, you know, you have bucks in on that il right? Like so yes, I guess they get credit for not selling But joe last year the twins Had joan duran who was the best closer or one of the best closers in the nl I guess you could say mason miller's the best but they had joan duran And they had louis varlin Varlin is now like the best reliever in the al And duran is like one of the best in the nl And so what did they do this year? they traded they traded for two guys who are not as good as the two guys they traded last year, so Forgive me if it sounds strange to me, but I don't understand what they're doing Well, did they have why aren't they selling the team last year? Are these the new owners wasn't there a uh, we want to shed No, so that it's the same But then I have no idea why you're buying You're trying to go out and improve your bullpen when you had two of the best closers in the game What not a year ago two years ago a year ago and you got rid of them both and you got rid of them both so And then in the off season Not to get too deep in the weeds, but the twins in the offseason said we're going to rebuild We're going to trade pablo lopez. We're going to trade joe ryan. We're going to fire rocco baldelli We're going to fire the president derrick falvey. They did all those things. They did that And then they didn't trade anymore and they didn't do anything and then they sort of ran it back Yeah, I I'm gonna look I I don't know the situation i'm going joe i'm going on a total whim here The twins the reason why you think that they were sold is because they put the twins up for sale they did Yeah, you remember and then they pulled it back When they didn't get what they wanted So I am gonna I am gonna guess I think the guys from walmart on this team polad, right? I am gonna guess I think you're right That the twins owner polad is like this is it like i'm running out of time It's now or never And i'm gonna guess he told whoever they're I don't even know who's running their team right now gm wise Hey, if you need to add some guys to make a run go ahead and do it And the gm's like I want to keep my job. All right, cool Let me go get aj minter Like what? Okay, fine Yeah, okay. Yeah. Yeah, that's like crap. Like what are we doing here? Uh, and then you lose joe ryan, which is even crazier not an injury
