Who do you think is more upset now; Twins fans or Yankees fans? I would say Yankees fans whose team just set a record for consecutive LCS losses. Not a whole lot of consolation but it is a fact that the only fans not disappointed are the WS champ's fans. The real question as the "starts at the top" thread pointed out is can there at least be a stated goal to field the best team possible and win as many games as possible? Unless there can be demonstrated proof that there is, the only solution is at the gate. Big money thrown on free agents is not necessarily the answer. Development of young talent and effective management at all levels seems to be deficient with the Twins and teams such as Tampa, Baltimore and Cleveland show that good competitive teams can be fielded if those responsible for scouting, player development and coaching/management at the Major League level are competent. By the way, hiring an analytics team is not a replacement for the ability and execution of the players on the field. They are humans, not robots in a video game.

im like Twins, but my father Yankees(
