DID THE TWINS MAKE A MOVE?

• IF NO: Standing pat gives us every indication that the Twins hope the rotation’s slump ends, Kenta Maeda saves the bullpen, and the offense does the rest. I’m skeptical! THE END
• IF YES: DID THE TWINS TRADE FOR A STARTING PITCHER
  • IF YES: I’m glad they did something, but I’m sorry to see (prospect name or names) go. THE END
  • IF NO: What about the bullpen? I’m troubled! CONTINUE

• IF YES: DID THE TWINS TRADE FOR A RELIEVER
  • IF YES: I’m glad they did something, but I’m sorry to see (prospect name or names) go. At least they didn’t trade Wilson Ramos for Matt Capps. I’m still very upset about that and I will die angry about it. I’m angry now! THE END
  • IF NO: What about the rotation? I’m troubled! CONTINUE
• IF YES: DID THE TWINS TRADE FOR A CATCHER
  • IF YES: I’m glad they added depth to the position with Jeffers’ injury, but I’m sorry to see (prospect name or names) go. And I'm troubled about the pitching! Very troubled! THE END
  • IF NO: I think Drew Butera is a bullpen catcher for the Angels. A reunion has never made more sense. Bring back Sweet Drew! You can probably get him for some coupons. CONTINUE
• IF YES: DID THEY TRADE CARLOS CORREA DESPITE BEING IN FIRST PLACE AND AN OBVIOUS PLAYOFF TEAM EVEN IF THE PITCHING CONTINUES TO MAKE US ALL SAD
  • IF YES: I hate this so much. You’re in first place, you stupid idiots. You fools. You fools. THE END
  • IF NO: Good. You’re in first place, you stupid idiots. CONTINUE
• IF YES: DID THEY MOVE THE TEAM’S HOME GAMES TO DICK PUTZ FIELD IN ST. CLOUD, MINNESOTA BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD THE RENT IN THE NORTH LOOP
  • IF YES: I guess I understand? Seems like a pretty long drive for a lot of season ticket holders, and they’ll have to share the field with the St. Cloud Rox, but they have a beer deck along the third base line. The rebuilt Ultimate Sports Bar is just down the way. The White Horse downtown has great food and killer drinks. Enjoy the Granite City! THE END
  • IF NO: Good. That would be a weird thing to do? CONTINUE
• IF YES: DID THEY TRADE FOR JUAN SOTO OR AARON JUDGE OR SHOHEI OHTANI
  • IF YES: I have died. I will not miss any of the players we traded. THE END
  • IF NO: Glad I’m not dead, I guess. Woulda been cool though. THE END
