Twins

Minnesota surprised some last offseason by signing Josh Donaldson to a four-year, $92 million contract. The former MVP was coming off a tremendous season with Atlanta where he posted a .900 OPS and won MLB’s Comeback Player of the Year. Donaldson has the biggest free agent contract in team history, but what does that mean for the future of third base in Minnesota?

When the Twins drafted Byron Buxton, he was expected to be a superstar player that can alter the future of a franchise. There have been glimpses of this Buxton in his big-league career, but the organization has also needed depth in centerfield because of his lengthy injury history. What does the future hold for Buxton and how deep is the centerfield position in the Twins organization?

Luis Arraez was supposed to hit .400 last season and run away with the American League batting title. Sure, expectations were high after his tremendous rookie campaign, but expectations were bound to outlast the reality of the situation. Arraez struggled through knee issues in his sophomore campaign, and one must wonder if that changes the future of second base for the Minnesota Twins.

For the last six seasons, Eddie Rosario has manned a corner outfield spot for the Minnesota Twins. That will change in 2021 as the team didn’t offer him arbitration and now, he is a free agent. Luckily, two of Minnesota’s top position player prospects happen to play in the corner outfield. So, what does this mean for the 2021 Twins and what does the future hold for the organization’s corner outfield spots?

Ever the intrepid gumshoe, I set out to investigate.

As we prepare to flip the calendar to a new year, the Minnesota Twins haven't yet added many new faces to the fold in an offseason defined more by subtraction than addition up to this point.

They have made a few pickups, and been involved in some notable rumors, so let's get up to speed as we say goodbye to 2020.

On Wednesday night, a major offseason milestone arrived with the non-tender deadline. This one loomed especially large for the Minnesota Twins, who are facing difficult stay-or-go arbitration decisions on two longtime fixtures.

We reacted to those decisions, plus another out-of-nowhere shocker, and analyzed a wave of newly available free agents on Offseason Live.

The winter meetings have come and gone, yet the MLB offseason remains young. And while the Twins have stayed fairly passive, other AL Central foes have not. Take your mind off the snow and let’s take a premature look at how the 2021 AL Central will play out.

While free agency has been slow-moving for the Minnesota Twins to begin the 2020 offseason, the Twins have plenty of moves yet to make and plenty of funds yet to spend. How the Twins will allocate those funds, though, is another question.

The Twins announced the signing of Glenn Sparkman this week. While it’s far from an exciting signing, it’s one that raised my eyebrow for more reasons than just the whiff rate on his slider. What if I told you the lifelong Royal had ties to several of the Twins top pitching prospects?
