Minnesota Twins Reach Agreements on Non-Tender Deadline Day

The offseason is in full swing for Major League Baseball and the Minnesota Twins have plenty of work to do. They recently added a pair of prospects to the 40-man roster, and Friday was the deadline to tender contracts for arbitration eligible players. Derek Falvey spent some money. With the Friday deadline hanging over their heads, the Minnesota Twins had 11 players that were arbitration eligible. Each of them needed to be tendered contracts or sent to free agency. The first reports of confirmed agreements came in the form of bullpen arms. It’s not at all a shock that Stewart will return for the Twins. His $870k salary is barely above the league minimum, and he has been incredible when healthy. Unfortunately he threw just 15 2/3 innings for Minnesota last season. After another surgery, the hope would be that he is ready to go for 2025. Minnesota will employ Tonkin on Opening Day for the first time since 2017. They claimed him off waivers in 2024 and sent him packing before grabbing him again down the stretch
