From the outside looking in, what the Minnesota Twins should do come Aug. 3 is a slam dunk, involving the end of All-Star pitcher Joe Ryan’s tenure in the Twin Cities.Even though the Twins are currently hanging around the edge of relevance, the prevailing thought is that the club should continue to offload players and rebuild the organization by cashing in on talented assets like Ryan and others.But an it’s-already-broken-don’t-fix-it mentality wouldn’t fit as easily as it seems.As the dwindling attendance figures indicate, this franchise is already feeling the effects of a series of missteps across the previous three years. The fanbase is already enraged with ownership after payroll was slashed following the 2023 playoff run, and when no players were acquired at the 2024 deadline in spite of a deficient payroll. Oh, and the team participated in perhaps the largest fire sale ever last year, trading 10 major-leaguers for prospects.Recognizing the franchise’s issues, new Twins control partner Tom Pohlad has insisted since he took over in mid-December that the club would be competitive this season, with him intending to repair trust issues with players in the clubhouse as well as providing fans with the team they deserve.To date, those promises haven’t been fulfilled. But the deadline — if the Twins are still relevant in a month — represents Pohlad’s first chance to make his words ring true. If the Twins managed to add to an entertaining-yet-flawed club and give an offense that’s been hitting all season a chance to compete the rest of the way, it would only be the first step of many needed to repair the relationship.
