The Twins are the team many baseball insiders are keeping a close eye on at this week's Winter Meetings, which got underway on Monday in Orlando. With the increased attention on what Minnesota will do this offseason, Twins president Derek Falvey indicated that his focus is on adding to the roster to compete in 2026.

It’s no secret that the Philadelphia Phillies are evaluating ways to upgrade their outfield this winter. Whether Byron Buxton has actually crossed their radar is unknown, but the concept of finding a dynamic center fielder is hardly foreign to a front office operating deep in win-now mode.
The Washington Nationals announced what appears to be their full coaching staff at Monday's Winter Meetings (relayed by Andrew Golden of The Washington Post).
After Ken Rosenthal reported Friday that the Twins aren't planning to trade star players Byron Buxton, Joe Ryan, or Pablo Lopez, there's new information from local insiders who appear to be suggesting that the Twins' payroll might not shrink any further — and will perhaps rise this winter.
The stars were out in full force during the 2025 World Series. From Max Scherzer in Toronto to Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and of course, Shohei Ohtani, in Los Angeles, there was no shortage of the game's best under the brightest lights.
Tuesday is a big day for the Minnesota Twins. That's when the MLB Draft Lottery takes place at the league's annual winter meetings, which are in Orlando this year.
What the Minnesota Twins started during the summer is likely to continue in the offseason. The Twins began a teardown of their roster when they traded Carlos Correa to the Houston Astros, Jhoan Duran to the Philadelphia Phillies, Harrison Bader to the Phillies, Willi Castro to the Chicago Cubs and Danny Coulombe to the Texas Rangers.
Byron Buxton is one of the most tantalizing players in baseball when healthy: an elite defender, game-changing speed, and the power to hit 25–30 homers a season.
Former Twins catching prospect Derek Bender has been reinstated and is once again eligible to return to MLB affiliated baseball, according to a report from The Athletic.
Since the offseason began, rumors and speculation have swirled around the possibility of the Twins trading one or multiple of their three veteran stars: Outfielder Byron Buxton and starting pitchers Joe Ryan and Pablo Lopez.
America's favorite pastime has more memorable performances than any sport. As such, figuring out which pitchers had the best seasons ever is no easy task.
The Minnesota Twins just underwent a big sell-off at the summer trade deadline. That led to plenty of speculation about further selling this winter, but that appears not to be in the cards.
One of the last men standing in Minnesota could soon be on his way out of town as well. Minnesota Twins star outfielder Byron Buxton is willing to waive his no-trade clause in order to facilitate a move out of Minnesota, Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan of ESPN reported on Tuesday.
In a move that probably won’t shatter the MLB landscape but definitely raises an eyebrow or two, the Minnesota Twins have dipped into the Baltimore Orioles’ catching reserves, snagging Alex Jackson in exchange for minor league Infielder Payton Eeles.
