Here is included one take on 2025 Twins as compared to all of MLB.

A look at the basics would give the impression the Twins are in good shape.  Where this view falls apart is when you remember those numbers are composites for each position. For instance catcher...3.1 WAR. That represents # for both Jeffers and Vasquez. Well, of course we know both don't play at the same time so in any given game situation the # does not hold up.  There are of course many examples of this across the whole rankings.  Question is then... how does this affect true rankings of Twins and others?

if you sort by most aggregate WAR, the largest pool is Free Agency and the Twins are towards the top of the list (number 6, I think)

It just tells you that the Twins lose less talent to free agency than other teams.
