As the US Election races (finally) come to a close, it’s time to focus your votes on something more controversial: the direction of the Minnesota Twins! Below, I’ve outlined various sentiments I’ve read recently. You, the beloved readers of Twinkie Town, will cast your votes and I, insert something clever here, will compile the results and create the “Twinkie Town Community Offseason Plan.”
Let’s do it!

Decision #1: Catcher Whether Jeffers is the primary catcher or not, we need a second catcher. Who you got?

Decision #2: Shortstop Did you know that since 2005, the Twins have started 13 different shortstops on Opening Day (link)? It has been a position of need, to say the least. What will they do this year?

Decision #3: Kepler On the other side of consistency, we have Kepler. He has been the starting Right Fielder for the past six seasons. Does he continue his streak? (For the record: the guy before Kepler? Sano.)

Decision #4: Arraez I love him. You (should) love him. So what do we do with him? I’ve heard rumblings all across the board.

Decision #5: Pitching Ah. Pitching. At least there’s one position we feel 100% sure about. Right? Oh. Darn. Well, how much money are you willing to throw at pitchers this offseason? Is there a specific player you’re dreaming about wearing the MN jersey?

While there are other directions the front office could go, I stuck with realistic options and scenarios that will lay the groundwork for the Twins offseason. I look forward to reviewing the results of the votes and creating the 2023 Minnesota Twins roster.
