Question of the week: how many games will the Twins win in 2026?

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm pretty low on this team. What about you?

[USAFChief]

Under 75. I have $100 wagered on it. 

[Vanimal46]

The only thing this team will be competing for is avoiding 100 losses. 

[ashbury]

61.  I have no money wagered on it.

[Mike Sixel]

In the 73.5 thread, I picked over, but I'm losing confidence.... But I'll go with 76 for fun. They'd have to get health from Buxton and Lewis and Wallner hitting in high leverage situations. It's really the bullpen blowing the occasional lead that worries me. See, talked myself down to 72....

[jaimedude]

I predict 63 wins and I'm a diehard. Unless they dump some of these struggling veterans and go with the younger outfielders, move on from Royce Lewis, move Brooks Lee to third, get rid of Larnach, and bring up Culpepper from AAA, this will be a wasted development season. Starting pitching looks like a potential flop, and bullpen is bubble gum, and band-aids. I don't see Royce Lewis or Larnach as reliable major league hitters. Rest is just average, to below average. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

The 2025 team had a 35 percent win rate after the 2025 all star break, and is essentially the same team as being fielded in 2026.

why is the bottom 75 wins? Was that a typo and it should have been 57 wins?

[Parfigliano]

59 wins.

[Craig Arko]

Approximately 162 - (number that they lose). That’s as far as I’m willing to commit. 

[RpR]

Oh,nobody knows the trouble they see

Nobody knows  so their sorrow

Nobody knows but Jesus

Nobody knows the trouble they see

 Glory Hallelujah Lord

This opening day roster might be worse than any late 90s roster.

 

There's absolutely no reason for any hope or excitement.
