In trading Jorge Polanco to the Seattle Mariners, they landed promising righty Justin Topa. Beyond that, it was waiver claims and reclamation projects, even if they were given major-league contracts.

Royce Lewis, Carlos Correa, and Byron Buxton have all been on the IL, which means the team turned to many of the players in these rankings.

The Twins would probably not have paid the going rate for the services of those aging arms, even in a normal offseason that included a more robust budget.
