In the past 4 years the Twins haven't had many assets to sell, and the ones that they have had, weren't worth a ton. Last year they had Suzuki and Willingham. You could make the argument that we they could have sold high on Perkins, but the bullpen would probably be in even worse shape now, plus we don't know what they were being offered in return. There are other examples of guys getting traded in the past 4 years, Liriano and Morneau come to mind. So, to say that they didn't sell is a little inaccurate. As for being buyers this year, I think people are going to be disappointed in what happens. I don't think TR is going to make any big splashes because I think that the FO sees their real opportunity for contention starting in 2016. I think they'll make a few trades, especially for a bullpen arm, but I have a feeling that the guy the get won't be a top tier sort of reliever. It'll probably be a guy like Steve Cishek, but that might be a stretch. I hope they aim a little higher, but I don't really see it happening.
