With the 114th overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, the Twins selected Andrew Morris, a right-handed pitcher out of Texas Tech University. Morris was ranked 228th overall by MLB dot com on their final pre-draft big board.

In approaching this offseason, the Twins have prioritized building one of the best outfields in the game, perfectly suited to their fly ball pitching staff. But what if Rob Manfred’s futzing tanks their approach?

Most of the key free agents have signed, but the Twins have finally started to add to the bullpen. With this being the only obvious roster battle raging this spring, it’s worth checking in on how the bullpen could be shaken up at the last minute.
