The Minnesota Twins and their farm system have both been highly regarded for quite some time due to their depth and their ability to build a solid foundation within. Over the years, they turned their inability to spend on marquee free agents into gold by creating their own strong core of players set to break out, while establishing a routine of development to move onto the next. Essentially, they spent money on themselves so that they wouldn’t necessarily have to spend an excess of money on others. It’s something that all smaller markets should consider because, if it’s done right, it makes those free agents actually want to come and play for the smaller market team.
