Offseason to-do list

The Twins crossed two things off their offseason to-do list with Friday's trade for J.J. Hardy -- acquiring a shortstop and removing Carlos Gomez from their outfield logjam. But they still have more to do, and here are five suggestions:

1Sign Joe Mauer to a long-term contract.

2 Explore trades for an ace, such as Josh Johnson or Roy Halladay.

3Re-sign free-agent pitcher Carl Pavano.

4 If No. 2 and No. 3 fail, sign free-agent pitcher Jarrod Washburn.

5Find a one-year option at third base, even by re-signing Joe Crede.
