The baseball winter meetings are around the corner, scheduled to begin in Orlando on Sunday, and given the reports recently coming from Jeff Passan, that Byron Buxton may be willing to waive his no-trade clause for more teams than just the Braves, indications are that the Twins have signaled a further tear down. Maybe this is just Passan reading tea leaves from others, but regardless, it appears as though the Twins are going to be one of the teams to watch, one way or another.
But what does the time in Orlando look like? I've got some items for the Twins to check off next week.
- Arrive on December 6th. Get there early to get settled in and ready. Nothing worse than feeling ill prepared because you're tired!
- Attend the draft lottery. The Twins have the second best odds for the #1 overall pick!
- Participate in the Rule 5 Draft. This is one of the staples of the Winter Meetings, and a good way to get someone flying under the radar.
- Engage in conversations with other organizations and agents
- Wait 3 more months before making any more substantial moves.
Oh, you thought this was going to be a to do list of things to get done at the Winter Meetings? Yeah, this is the Twins. Even if something crazy is going to happen, the Twins are going to wait until March before anything really goes on.
