Payroll in mind, Ryan makes Twins' FAs Priority
"Ryan said his first priority is to reach out to the team's four free agents -- Michael Cuddyer, Jason Kubel, Joe Nathan and Matt Capps -- to get a feel for what's needed to bring them back."

Re-signing Cuddyer remains one of the Twins’ top priorities, but given the expected decrease in payroll and heavy interest from teams such as the Phillies, there remains no guarantee he’ll be back. But Pohlad wouldn’t rule it out, saying it’ll be up to Ryan to see if he fits in the club’s offseason plans.
“I love Michael Cuddyer,” Pohlad said. “But we want to win, so if Terry convinces us that he’s part of that, and we can win, then he’ll be back — assuming Michael agrees with it.”

Just one thing
That $100 million payroll we heard about, it is just a projection.
BTW, Terry if you try to bring back Matt Capps, forget it because we don’t want him.
I'm a proud fan of the Minnesota Twins and Dallas Cowboys!

The headline is a paradox
You can’t pay the free agents and cut payroll. You certainly can’t pay the free agents and improve the team.

STEP 1: Make crappy offers to expensive free agents.
STEP 2: When they sign with other teams, tell your fans they were just greedy.
STEP 3: ????
STEP 4: Profit!

Either that or they really are going to try to re-sign all four.
It’s why I thought the article was interesting. Especially the possibility they will try to re-sign Capps.

They don't have enough money for all four
Cuddy: 10 Kubel: 7 oops there goes all the money.
what's needed to bring them back?
“get a feel for what’s needed to bring them back”?
How about starting with not cutting payroll by $15 million?
