A disappointing season has reached its end, and now a pivotal winter lies ahead, filled with high-stakes decisions and diverging pathways of possibility.

There's much to get a handle on, but we've got you covered. Following a one-year hiatus, Twins Daily's Offseason Handbook is back, and you can preorder your copy now.

With a winning week to close out the season, the Minnesota Twins were able to avoid 90 losses. They still finished last in the AL Central, leaving their path forward in doubt.

There isn't going to be any more Twins baseball for a long time, so let's take a look back at the past week and savor these final moments.

The Twins finish the season on a high note with back-to-back wins and a series victory over the Royals. They end one of the most disappointing seasons in MLB history with a record 73-89 and last place in the AL Central. That and more in today's recap!

Griffin Jax and the Twins offense powered the Twins past the Royals to stave off a 90-loss season for one more day.

Tyler Duffey was among the best relievers in all of baseball in 2019 and 2020 and was a valuable reliever in 2021 despite a bit of a step back. With one year of control remaining on the home-grown reliever, what does the future look like for the Doof?

Some nightmarish pitching by the Twins cost them a win in the series opener against the Royals in Kansas City, their final series of the year. The offense, quiet at first, provided six runs on 13 hits, with Jorge Polanco reaching a milestone.

With the final home game in the books for the Minnesota Twins, an unfortunate reality clouded over a wonderful night by Byron Buxton. It may be the star centerfielder’s final home game at Target Field. That’s yet to be determined, but he put together an impressive 2021 campaign.

The Twins brought Michael Pineda in while their winning window was open. His Twins tenure was a roller coaster ride, and now he may have taken the mound with the team for the last time.

The Minnesota Twins’ offense put on a show on Thursday night, hitting a combined four home runs on the night. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough as the Tigers plated ten runs, handing the Twins their 88th loss of the season.

Jose Miranda has played in 123 games across the Minnesota Twins minor league system in 2021. He’s dominated both Double-A and Triple-A, but with just days left in the season, no promotion is coming. What lies ahead in 2022?

Jorge Polanco gave the Minnesota Twins all the offense they would need with a home run in the first inning, as the pitching staff continued its excellence over the last month of the season, leading the Twins to the 5-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers.
