The Minnesota Twins are Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get from them any given season.
One year, they’ll be sub-.500 and out of the playoffs by mid-June. Another, they might hold onto first place for dear life before their eventual Division Series exit, usually at the hands of the Yankees. In some rare cases, they’ll rally late and steal the AL Central crown in the last week or so of the season.
Last year, on the other hand, was an in-between. Minnesota won 82 games, but finished fourth in the Central.
