To the Twins' credit, and one more parallel to the Astros, they were the first to draft George Springer when they drafted him out of high school in 2008.

I mean they made it to the NLCS and pushed one of the best teams in baseball to 7 games but it apparently doesn't work? If you bullpen a game you're likely covering up a deficiency. If you can cover up a deficiency as glaring as our starting pitching and somehow make it to game 7 of the CS then i'd argue it works REALLY well.

Unfortunately the weakness some call "the Yankees" wont be covered by 12 runs.

Here are the losing streaks of past World Series winners: '18 BOS: 3 games (4x) '17 HOU: 5 games (11-17 Aug) '16 CHI: 5 games (12-14 Jul) '15 KC: 4 games (11-17 Sept) '14 SF: 6 games (10-16 June) '13 BOS: 3 games (15-15 May) It's a long season and even the best teams have down turns. I do think a trade would help invigorate the team and get them back on track and finally getting healthy will pay dividends.
