First I non-tender Cron, tough decision, but have too many moving parts to keep him.

This leaves me with

C - Garver

1B - Sano

2B - Arreaz

ss - Polonco

3B - Gonzalez

LF - Rosario

CF - Buxton

RF - Kepler

DH - Cruz

Of - Cave

OF - Wade

UTL - Adrianza

C - Like the thought of signing Maldenado for about $3

This should give me the flexibility in case Gordon is ready which in a lot of other bloggers posts would cause me to either lose him or trade him for little value.

This should also leave me with a lot of payroll space for pitching staff upgrades.

Extend Berrios if possible 5 years/$75 (8,12, 16, 19, 20)

Would like to also extend Buxton, but have little idea what it would take. Maybe something on the lines of Berrios, but a lot more risk say 5/80

Pitching

Sign Cole 7/260 (40,40,40,35,35,35,35) opt out after 3.

Sign Oderizzi 3/51 (predicted by mlbtraderumors)

Sign Pineda 3/36

Starters

Cole

Berrios

Oderizzi

Pineda

Dobnak, Thrope, others

Bullpen

Rogers

Romo 1/3

May

Duffy

Will Harris 2/10

Littell

Long man rotation with Rochester

LR (Dierkman, Watson)

This should do it, payroll will be a higher than maybe the Twins will go, but the window is open, let's also kick in the door. You can't win without front line starting pitching. Maybe having someone above Berrios will help and I think Twins will get some better pitching from our minor leagues starting in 2021. This may let us trade a starter and some of our surplus coming up for a better starter.

Also considers Betcenes, but do not have a feel for how he will return from injury and what he will cost.
