LAS VEGAS -- With their most pressing needs at first and second base having already been addressed with the signings of C.J. Cron and Jonathan Schoop, the Twins came into the Winter Meetings without much urgency to make a splash during the event's four days.
Thus far, this offseason has seen aggressive trade action contrasted with a relatively slow free-agent market. Therefore, chief baseball officer Derek Falvey and general manager Thad Levine look to remain in "learn-and-explore mode" through the Meetings as they feel out the market through conversations with agents and teams.
In other words, don't expect the Twins to make a major move at the Winter Meetings -- but there's plenty of offseason during which they may make some noise.
