The 2021 campaign will see Garver and Jeffers splitting time behind the plate.

Creative minds have wondered whether Jorge Polanco could be the answer, opening up the possibility that Minnesota signs a starting shortstop this winter. Maybe the Twins believe the same.

In the 2016 amateur draft, they plucked up Aaron Civale, Zack Plesac and 2020 Cy Young winner Shane Bieber.

His recent playoff heroics pushed Twins fans to focus on his fit with the hometown club. The 29-year-old has hit .240/.312/.425 (97 OPS+) since 2015 for the Dodgers.
