But with the group they have, they still should try to compete next year. To make clear their intentions to compete for the 2026 playoffs, they should target Adley Rutschman, of the Baltimore Or...19052Wed, 27 Aug 2025 22:10:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2026-schedule-released-fresh-start-fresh-questions-r19046/The Minnesota Twins’ 2026 schedule is officially here, and it arrives at a fascinating crossroads for the franchise. The 2025 season has spiraled into a full-blown tailspin.

Back in April, in their first meeting with the reigning worst team ever, the Twins lost 9-0, falling to 0-4 on the season as Chris Paddack was bashed into submission.

One big question mark is who will make up the five-man starting rotation. Pablo López, Joe Ryan, and Bailey Ober should be locks for three of these spots.
