[OPINION] The Twins Are Twinsing So Effing Hard This Year

We're barely three weeks into the regular season, and the Minnesota Twins bandwagon is emptying faster than [edited for content].

Taking shots at the Twins ownership is a favorite hobby of Minnesotans in general, but especially for Twins fans who want more than another division title followed by a polite first-round exit. They're really making it too easy this year.

Let's take a moment to reflect on the B.S. so far this season:

Twins ownership declared a big reduction in payroll this year after the team finally broke the first-round bounce curse last season
they let starting pitcher Sonny Gray walk, and he's been outstanding for the St Louis Cardinals so far this year
future star Royce Lewis was injured in the first game and likely won't return until summer
current stars Carlos Correa, Jhoan Duran, and Max Kepler are currently injured
the Twins paid cash to the NY Mets for reliever Michael Tonkin, then put him waivers where he was reclaimed by the NY Mets
the Twins bullpen was supposed to be elite, but have been straight trash so far
the Twins 'big' off-season free agent signing - Carlos Santana (not the guitar legend, although...) - has been straight trash at the plate
they just signed Tony Kemp, whose bat is straight trash
CHS Field in St Paul is a more attractive spot to get my baseball fix than Target Field, even with the Northstar Commuter Rail partially resuming Target Field service.
