08:11 AM ET 08.30 | If an interview with GM Terry Ryan can be taken at face value, Twins fans should get used to the current roster. While Ryan stopped short of confirming that he will agree to owner Jim Pohlad's request that he trim the "interim" tag from his title, he sounded determined to keep the job and turn the Twins into contenders. Ryan was blunt about a variety of subjects. He ... Will not fire manager Ron Gardenhire. ... Won't force Gardenhire to make changes to his coaching staff. ... Considers Justin Morneau a "core" player whom he expects to thrive next season. ... Wants people to stop blaming Joe Mauer for the team's problems. ... Doubts he will pursue any elite free-agent pitchers this winter, saying it will be a "thin" market.

Maybe the Twinkles can get Webster and others from the Sox for Mauer.

I'd say they're a little worse than mediocre at the moment.

if just if,, anybody thinks to trade for mauer except mauer's contract, then i believe the twins could get a deal even withe astros franchise why not?? after all mauer should be given away for free, because where is the guarantee in this trade?? nobody can get anything positive from mauer but more injuries most likely!!!

long terms contracts are too sensible to accepted just as anything else, the sensibility of the matter is worse than any timming bomb,,,because nobody can predict the future why the teams can't understand that?? why the GM keep given big long term contracts?? why is so difficult to solve this easy puzzle??

long term deals are as a wrecked train expecting to happen at any time at any place,,,does the GM/OWNERS would continue giving big long term contracts?? and where is the investments in return?? they appear to be lost in the dust at the end nobody wins but the player, healthy or injuried,, the player win-win situation!!!

in every fail long term deal,,,it should reflect in that specific GM, in the last resort the owner should get the blame in full for the wrong deals done in his franchise,,,

the twins could do themselves a favor,,,
trade away mauer for a single A minor leaguer and pay mauer's contract in full,
or trade him for two minor league decent pitchers,,,and still pay in full for mauer's contract,,
any other option?? call it a quits and set the business in the rate of zeros at the meter,,,
