But as the 2022 collapse revealed—and 2023’s roster-management seemingly fixed until it all fell by the wayside in 2024—this is a team that absolutely needs depth to sustain a run to the postseason.
One thing to be clear on: Byron Buxton &...

Survey says: Probably
As I’m sure all of Twins Territory does as well, I have many thoughts about the 2024 season and how it ended. Some I’ve expressed—others can wait for later.
