    There's a Clear Standout Among Closer Targets for the Twins in Free Agency (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Minnesota Twins headed into the 2026 season with gaping hole at the back end of their bullpen. Trading away Jhoan Duran, Louis Varland and Griffin Jax left them deprived of proven options for the late innings. In the early going, it hurt them. Though the course of the year, the Twins did establish some solid options to handle high leverage for 2027. Andrew Morris and Yoendrys Gómez thrived in the setup and closer role for much of the year before nosediving down the stretch. Jeff Hoffman look

    Grading Every Player Who Appeared for the Twins in 2026: Pitchers (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Thirty-two different pitchers made at least one appearance for the Minnesota Twins in 2026. It's certainly a sign of the times. Twenty years ago, in 2006, the team used barely over half that number (17). This Twins staff had plenty of injuries, but the front office also churned-and-burned through arms as they looked to account for innings on a staff depleted by the 2025 deadline firesale. As you get to the bottom of the list below, you might start running into names you barely remember. Here are

    Tom Pohlad Is on a Mission to Rebuild Trust. A Critical Juncture Lies Ahead. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You don't build trust by saying things. Well, not on its own, anyway. You build trust by saying things and then doing them. It conditions people to believe what you say. It demonstrates conviction. To his credit, Tom Pohlad seems to recognize this. The team's alignment of messaging and approach at the trade deadline was seemingly guided by an edict to re-establish trust and credibility. In the weeks and days leading up, general manager Jeremy Zoll was surprisingly open about Minnesota's intentio

    Grading Every Player Who Appeared for the Twins in 2026: Position Players (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Twenty-four different position players made at least one appearance for the Minnesota Twins in 2026. That includes seven rookies who made their MLB debuts, several long-tenured veterans who might have been reaching the end of the road in this organization, and everything in between. The sum result was a losing season, but the offense took meaningful steps forward, and so did the defense over the course of the year. Many faces played a role in helping shaping this year's story, and here we're goi

    The Root Cause of This Year's Collapse Points to the Challenge Ahead for Twins (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The notion of a successful season for the 2026 Minnesota Twins was essentially put to rest on the very first day of spring training. That ambitious notion rested upon the idea that Pablo López, Joe Ryan and Byron Buxton — the three former All-Stars whom the Twins held onto through last year's deadline firesale — would lead the way for an upstart group capable of taking a mediocre division by surprise. It was, honestly, not a ridiculous concept. But when López went down with a season-ending injur
