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.
