The Minnesota Twins are gearing up for another spring training, and there are plenty of questions to address as they prepare for the new season. Catchers Christian Vázquez and Diego Cartaya have been seen stretching at Hammond Stadium, signaling that preparations are well underway. Meanwhile, the local college basketball scene is buzzing after the Gophers men’s basketball team secured a win against USC, reigniting discussions about head coach Ben Johnson's future with the team.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the Twins' first spring game, as the roster still has many uncertainties before the regular season kicks off. With the NFL and NBA seasons overlapping, viewers have been left with limited options for live sports, making the upcoming Twins games even more appealing. As the teams look to refine strategies, the focus will be on how new and returning players will gel together, especially in key positions.

The Minnesota Twins enter the offseason facing significant decisions regarding free agents, arbitration-eligible players, and potential trades. Key free agents include Max Kepler and Carlos Santana, the latter having had a standout season. With a payroll commitment of approximately $126 million, the Twins must navigate limited flexibility while aiming to rebound from a disappointing end to the previous season.

They will likely decline options for players like Kyle Farmer and Manuel Margot, while arbitration-eligible players such as Willi Castro and Bailey Ober could command substantial salaries. Additionally, the Twins may explore trades for Chris Paddack and Christian Vázquez as they seek to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
