The Twins front office faces a crucial decision this offseason: double down on their current core or make bold moves? Many believe the talent is there – a strong rotation led by Lopez, Ryan, and Ober, a potentially explosive lineup with Correa, Buxton, and Lewis, and a solid supporting cast. But can they truly “run it back” after the disappointing 2024 collapse?

Some argue that better health and further development are the keys. A fully healthy Correa-Buxton-Lewis combo could be game-changing. Others suggest deeper flaws exist, and banking on unproven players like Larnach and Wallner is a risky gamble.

Payroll limitations restrict free agency moves, so real change requires trades. Paddack and Vazquez are obvious candidates, but is that enough? Would trading a young starter like Ryan or even Lewis be on the table? What would it take to acquire a true difference-maker?

This isn't just about individual talent, it's about team chemistry and managerial strategy. Did the pressure to perform and the constant lineup shuffling contribute to the late-season meltdown? Is a change in leadership necessary for this group to reach its potential?

Where do you stand? Do you trust this core, or is it time for a shakeup? What specific moves would you make to improve this team? Let the debate begin!
