Who Was the Least Valuable Player on the 2026 Twins?

I pick the TD staff, for creating the category, and wimping out and not making a selection.

SWR had -2.24 WPA, worst on the team.....pick him

He is my pick too.  He was not what I expected at all.  

Cartini was at least what we expected.  The problem with him is he played too much.  

Wallner and Topa and Outman were cut short before too much more damage could occur.

Gray at least drove in runs for the number of AB he received.

Lewis is the LVP for players who played almost the entire season with the Twins.  Or Cartini. But 0-7 record from SWR was hard to overcome.  We were 77-78 outside of his decisions.  We could have been a .500 team without him.

Crazy thing looking at all those bad players who were jettisoned from the club mid year, the team did just as poorly after they were cut (take SWR, Twins were 27-30 with him, 50-55 w/o).  
 

That leaves me voting for a full year dead weight.  I’ll vote Caratini.
 

Of course, it was Shelty who trotted him out so much - even putting him at 1st and DH at times.  Can we vote for Shelty?
 

And yes, it is very scary that Caratini is the primary catcher so far for 2027.  

You can’t look at overall team records for starting pitchers who only pitch every 5 games. The Twins were 1-9 when SWR started, and he wasn’t a hard luck loser. He was just a loser.
