I’m not entirely sure what mortgage the future means or at least I dont understand why it’s a negative thing. Every team mortgages the future but some teams have more to mortgage lol.
If we are in a real dogfight for the third wild card spot at the deadline, then they will be heavy buyers.
We signed gausman, berrios and springer to big deals. We gave up big assets to get berrios even if they are scuffling now in the twins system.
The appropriate response to needing to improve to just make the playoffs with that in mind is to mortgage the future.
If we have 90% playoff odds, then we won’t . It’s kind of as simple as that, right?
And, if we are like 9 games back at the deadline somehow, we sell guys with short control and relievers. I don’t understand how this isn’t just math.
