I would love to see the Twins too.
This is why they are not going anywhere.
Pitching wins, and they don't have it.
Not one of the six starters have a stellar ERA.
Four of the six have ERA's over league average.
Besides Berrios, they have no K artist.
Their staff WH/IP is brutal.
Me too. Not sure they can squeak in though. Their -63 run differential and 7 game under .500 at home continue to defy statistics.This is why they are not going anywhere.
