Minnesota finished the 2025 season with the second-most losses in the American League. It was an odyssey-like season, filled with a scuffle out of the gate, a hot stretch in the middle, and a bottoming out that partially led to a massive selloff in the summer.
Last week, I wrote about the two Twins players whose MLB careers lasted one game. (And thanks to BH-Baseball for sharing, in a comment below the article,
MLB Pipeline has released its updated rankings of every team's top 30 prospects. For the Twins, the first ten names on the list include some big-time talent on the verge of reaching the major leagues.
When a new player makes a splash, we think of someone doing a cannonball in the pool. A rookie gets a late-season call-up and makes an immediate impression.
The Minnesota Twins are already dealing with a slew of injuries to notable players, including All-Star pitchers Pablo López and Joe Ryan, ahead of Opening Day.
As Spring Training opens for 2026, all 30 teams have high hopes and big questions. These are the storylines to follow for each team heading into Opening Day.
And the injuries just keep piling up. While spring training stats and records do not matter, the Twins do have the worst run differential through nine games across the majors this spring.
Minnesota Twins star pitcher Joe Ryan recently suffered an injury scare early in spring training. As a result, he will not begin the World Baseball Classic with Team USA, but could be added to the roster later in the tournament.
Talent-wise, Walker Jenkins is up there with Joe Mauer, Byron Buxton, Royce Lewis, and perhaps a couple others on a list of the best prospects the Twins have had in the past three decades.
A little over a week into their spring training slate, the single most promising on-field development for the Twins is the way Mick Abel has pitched in his first two outings.
Twins ace Joe Ryan is progressing well from a minor back injury, according to reports. Ryan had a "good bullpen session" on Saturday, per The Athletic's Dan Hayes, and the next step will be to throw a live batting practice.
The 2026 MLB season is right around the corner, and it is never too early to start thinking about how it might unfold. Seemingly, every year, we have a decent handle on who should contend and who is likely to struggle, which makes looking ahead to the trade deadline inevitable.
Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis features no shortage of potential. Injury concerns have unfortunately limited him early in his MLB career. Lewis endured an injury scare on Thursday, as he was scratched before the Twins’ spring training game after feeling tightness on his right side.
Recently, the Minnesota Twins got some rough news when it was announced that star pitcher Pablo Lopez would be out after undergoing Tommy John surgery.
The hits for the Twins’ rotation keep coming. Right-hander David Festa, who entered camp hopeful of securing a spot on the starting staff, has been diagnosed with a shoulder impingement and will be shut down from throwing for at least two to three weeks, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune.
The Minnesota Twins seemingly want to compete. They did not trade any of their star players this past offseason, and even made some notable additions such as the Josh Bell signing.
In 2025, the Minnesota Twins conducted a fire sale at the trade deadline, shopping nearly all of the team’s top performers. Joe Ryan is one of the handful of stars that their front office chose to retain.
The Minnesota Twins walked into camp expecting stability at the top of their rotation. Instead, they were hit with the kind of news that can tilt an entire season.
The Minnesota Twins have been surrounded by disappointment in each of the last two seasons after fans were hoping they’d be in the thick of contention following their ALDS bid back in 2023.
The Minnesota Twins might be the worst team in the majors in 2026 — and that possibility grew more real with word that right-hander Pablo Lopez could miss the entire season.
One of the last veterans left on the Minnesota Twins is not too happy with the team. Longtime Twins outfielder Byron Buxton spoke this week to Bobby Nightengale of the Minnesota Star Tribune.
