I'll take Polanco+Buxton. Polanco isn't a big hitter, but he's an improvement over what we have. Buxton plays CF and rotate him thru DH.
I read and interesting lengthy story on Buxton. Both he and the Twins want and extension but the Twins can't afford to get stuck with a big Salary commitment given their limited budget so they are reticent to give him one given his injury history. He has superstar talent and is going to be seeing the massive contracts the top 5 FAs will get and will expect something close to those.
I'd get him for the performance of one year then offer the QO. The M's would get a pick at the end of the second round(?).

Polanco is Cano compared to our 2021 2Bs. I would love that but it would cost significant prospects because both guys have bargain contracts. I would give them anyone but our top 3 prospects.

Wow, Polanco is 28 put up 5 WAR and played 39 games at SS and is locked up through 2025 like Reynolds. Sign me up.

Nice. That helps but the still won't end until almost 1am. The other thing I HATE is the stock market doesn't open until 9:30am!!!

Let me interrupt our regularly scheduled programming to bring you the future greatest player to ever put on a M's uniform.

If the M's can bring in M. Conforto and M. Semien, then there really won't be a need for Mark Canha, unless you plan to use him strictly as a CF. Julio could be ready for CF duties by June or July.
