This was the Twins 40-man roster entering spring training this year. Really depicts the amount of turnover in just 8 months.
Nearly half the roster has been cleared out. Julien and Gasper hanging by a thread.

Here's an updated look at the Twins projected 2026 roster and payroll after their latest moves. Still in line to spend under $90M.

Realistically, who are the Twins going to sign from this list that is going to be significantly better than Clemens, who was worth 1.4 WAR last year? (Listed WAR in graphic is for the past 2 years.)

This was Trevor Larnach one year ago. It would be foolhardy for the Twins go give up on him so they can save like 3 million bucks, IMO.

The rotation ended on a high note, for what that’s worth, as the Twins wrapped up a 92-loss season and stare ahead to an uncertain future.

As usual, the Twins submitted meekly to the Yankees and Guardians, closing out their home schedule with two more series losses. Have we seen Rocco manage at Target Field for the last time?

Took a shot at mapping out Twins 2026 roster. Few things stick out:
- Lopez is getting traded. Correa likely to be 2nd-highest paid player.
- I’m just throwing darts in terms of SP/RP. Is that what they’ll do?
- Bad lineup. Brutal bench. This team's gonna be horrible 😭

In a lost season, you look for silver linings. Twins fans found some last week: Mickey's magic, Martin the OBP machine, Funderburk's revenge.
And of course, the glory of Byron Buxton.

Past week really had it all for Twins fans: more Yankee Stadium woes, dreadful offense, sloppy D, ransacked bullpen beat up, season-ending injury for (slumping) lone hitter acquired at deadline.
Oh, and the Pohlads are keeping the team.

Carlos Correa (1.098 OPS since AS break) vs Brooks Lee (.523.) I'm told the Twins made a massive upgrade at the SS position.

Well that was about the most horrible and demoralizing week Twins fans have ever experienced. A culmination of greed and ineptitude.

Another depressing week of sloppy, utterly uninspired Twins baseball leaves the front office with little choice but to turn their attention to the future. At least that future looks a little brighter with Royce Lewis reawakening.

The Twins needed to hit the ground running coming out of the break, but instead fell flat. As the trade deadline looms, the players are shaping their own destiny through lackluster play. But maybe Royce is ready to answer the call?

First winning week in a while for the Twins, who are rounding back into form here in July and beating some good teams, led by their two All-Stars. Reinforcements are on the way after the AS break.

It was a losing week for the Twins, but one that carried promising signs of progress.
Good showings for Buxton, Correa, Lee + a much needed rotation rebound. Now, Twins just need to figure out an answer to the Bailey Ober problem.

The spiraling Twins dropped 5 of 6 for a second straight week and have been outscored by 47 runs in their last 12 games. It’s getting really hard to believe in this team.

But, what evidence do we have to inspire any confidnce on the Correa front? His underlying metrics are nightmarish. Pitchers are making it clear they don't fear him at all. Here in June he's slashing .217/.234/.283 with 12 Ks, 1 BB, zero homers.

To his credit, Correa has mostly stayed on the field & been great defensively. But his lackluster production is beyond unacceptable. His .656 OPS is far below the career-worst .711 mark in an injury-hampered 2023 campaign. He's on pace for 1.8 fWAR and 0.5 bWAR. Sub-mediocre.
