Blindsided - In a Good Way

 So waking up this morning and the Minnesota Twins have signed free agent shortstop Carlos Correa.  This is a shocker.

 Spending big has not gone well for the Twins of late, so I expected the Twins to trade for talent not dive back into the free agent market.  We just off loaded Josh Donaldson and his 50 million contract on the Yankees, so I thought "once bitten, twice shy," but no, that is not the approach the Twins are taking.  This is a big jump in offense and defense for the Twins. 

My first thought after digesting this move was that the Twins are now like a beer league softball team.  We should hit the ball well, but our pitching...Our games might be 10-7 wins.  We score, they score, we hope to score more.

Hat tip to the Twins front office.  This should put butts in the seats.
