After hearing Carlson Rodon is headed to the Bronx, it's time to look at the Twins offseason to this point. Is it too soon to call it a complete failure? How do the Twins pivot (again) from losing out on the most recent superstar free agent?

    They had a plan.  They failed to execute.  If their multi-layered plan had evidence of "we targeted Correa because of this, this, and this reason, and if we don't get him then we address all those same reasons in these other ways," I'd feel better.   It was important to go after this one high-end SS, at a certain price, but not to go after others, at lower price points?  What was special about Carlos, in this light?

    Because so many of the good FA targets are now off the table, I'm less reluctant than usual to say, "the off-season isn't over yet."  It just about is.

    "Buck" Farmer?  That's a pitcher, as opposed to our new incumbent shortstop Kyle of course.

    The Twins are a hopeless organization.  They started last year with a ton of talent and a promising start, and then squandered it over the course of the season.  I understand why the Twins couldn't offer the kind of money the Mets ultimately gave Correa.  But to leave a gaping hole at SS in order to save a few bucks with no appreciable gains in other areas (like pitching!) is unforgivable.  It speaks to the cheapness of the Twins organization.  Either the owners make the necessary investments to be a winning program, OR, they sell the team to the highest bidder and get out of the business of MLB.  We're looking at a team dead on arrival in 2023.  I'm sad for the fans...
