On Friday the Twins went out and struck a deal with the Miami Marlins trading LHP Kade Bragg for 1B Eric Wagaman. Wagaman who just completed his rookie season at age 28 is a solid backup for the Twins for 2026, Wagaman doesn't hit for power, or average really. But having him on the bench is better than not having a backup. Kade Bragg, the return for Miami was drafted by the Twins in the 17th round of the 2023 Draft out of Angelo State University. Bragg had a very solid season out of the pen for Double-A Wichita, posting a 3.22 era in 22 1/3 innings with a WHIP around 1.00. He could be a potential reliver for the Marlins pen in the future being only 24. 

The day after, the Twins went out and signed SS Orlando Arcia to a Minor League deal. Arcia who played with the Braves and Rockies in 2025 was a worse hitter than usual posting a 33 wRC+ compared to his career average of around 80. Arcia was an All-Star in 2023 having a 1.7 WAR that year. What does this mean for the Twins though? Well if the current starting SS Brooks Lee struggles we may see Arcia in more than a few games in 2026 for the Twins.
