One of those decisions will be about outfielder Trevor Larnach, who's coming off a career year offensively.

Twins officials have signaled a willingness to invest. The problem is that this year's free agent class at the position is not...21278Tue, 06 Oct 2026 11:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/how-joe-ryans-projected-arbitration-salary-changes-his-trade-market-r21279/The Minnesota Twins have spent the last few years making payroll decisions that require a calculator, a spreadsheet, and (probably) a small support group. The next one is right around the corner, as Joe Ryan presents an interesting problem for Jeremy Zoll and the front office this winter.

After the complete fire sale at the 2025 trade deadline, when the Twins shipped out a handful of bullpen arms including (but not limited to) Jhoan Duran, Louis Varland and Griffin Jax, there wasn’t much don...21263Mon, 05 Oct 2026 16:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-7-biggest-decisions-for-the-twins-offseason-does-royce-lewis-fit-r21267/The Minnesota Twins entered the 2026 season hoping Royce Lewis could finally put together the kind of consistent campaign that his talent has always suggested was possible.

That is not to say it's the roster I expect to see, but it's the mold they are working from. It includes all of their arbitration eligible players, with the exception of Trevor Larnach, who I just can't s...21277Mon, 05 Oct 2026 11:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/3-up-3-down-emmanuel-rodriguez-r21260/Emmanuel Rodriguez finally got his opportunity to show Twins fans what he could do at the highest level.
