If the 2022 Twins were a house, it would have a solid foundation but some chipped paint, a dishwasher on the fritz and a need for fresh carpeting.
They needed a remodel but not a total teardown. It was obvious from the start of the season as Sonny Gray, Randy Dobnak, Cody Stashak and Jorge Alcala landed on the injured list in April. It continued as Bailey Ober and Josh Winder suffered injuries that continue to nag them. It continued through the All-Star break as Emilio Pagan and Tyler Duffey faltered too many times out of the bullpen. Twins relievers overall have 20 losses. Unacceptable for a first-place team.
Starter Dylan Bundy has struggled to pitch more than five innings. Chris Archer? Four.
