Well Minnesota Twins fans, this season kind of hurts. Not like a Mitch Garver hurt, but just an emotional let down hurt. The summer of 2021 was forecasted to be a fun ride of seeing a playoff contender mow down opponents for a potential World Series run. That hasn’t happened.
Instead, a series of let downs and unfortunate events leave the Twins stuck in MLB purgatory. The team isn’t enough of a lost cause to justify blowing up the core, but it’s looking more and more like this is a lost season.
