Its hard to say the Twins did the right thing with Guardado and Hawkins (who both left simply for more money, but blamed it on timing of negotiations) but obviously the front office knew their stuff. Nathan was one of the top closers in the league, Rincon and Romero were real good setting up for most of the year, and Jesse Crain and Grant Balfour came up and got the job done. So basically, the Twins kept their payroll, still made the playoffs, and the other guys got their money.
