I like rebuilding. I'm currently finishing off the 2036 season with the Twins and we're a game over .500, 2nd in the AL Central (I love that division....) and in 4th 4 games out in the Wildcard. It's 8/3 now and after an active July trade-o-rama I think I have a pretty good shot at making the playoffs. Added a number of young players, traded a great left fielder for what looks to be a future HoF center fielder and in a most un-Twins like move I traded 4 good prospects to the last place Rockies for a 23 yr old pitcher who is also destined for the HoF. in the 4 games he's started since he got to MN he's gone 3-0 1.84 ERA 29.1 IP 18 H 5 BB and 25 Ks with 2 CG shutouts.
Add in my $31.9+ million I'll have for contracts after this season and I think I'm in the perfect position for long term success.
