Free Agents
AJ Ramos– solid RP for the back end of the bullpen. Twins need at least 2 new bullpen pitchers to fill the holes left from last seasons trades. 2 Years $7 Million
Cody Allen– has familiarity with Falvey and had only one rough season mainly due to injuries. Would be a fantastic buy lower candidate. Would be instant closer. 2 Year $16 Million.
Daniel Descalso– A good bridge to either Nick Gordon or Royce Lewis. His career best season was just last year so he might be a late bloomer if anything. 2 year $10 Million
This puts the 40-man at 40.

This kind of offseason would help the Twins make the next step into becoming a major threat to the Indians. With all that Cleveland is set to lose this offseason and these type of additions for the Twins I would think they would become the favorites for the AL Central crown.
