The Minnesota Twins finished the 2024 season with a disappointing 82-80 record, placing them fourth in the AL Central. Despite a promising start, they collapsed late in the season, losing 16 of their last 22 games and missing the playoffs. Key players like Carlos Correa and Byron Buxton had solid seasons, but injuries limited their impact.
The offseason looks challenging for the Twins as ownership plans to sell the team, and a $30 million payroll cut has raised concerns about future competitiveness. The team will need to address pitching needs and possibly trade veterans to stay within budget.
