Offseason payroll chopping and a poor start to the season leads to depressed Twins fans. The Athletic's Aaron Gleeman guides us through issues that include injured stars, a lineup that is flailing at spin and a velo drop from Pablo Lopez.

OK, hold up. The team finally cracks a playoff series win and they tank their payroll??? Gleeman perfectly explains why the fan morale pendulum has swung so far down.

NEW ITEM ALERT! FT SHOP has trucker hats!!!
