The Minnesota Twins finished last season at 70-92. The year didn’t just end, either. It unraveled. By the deadline, the Twins had shifted from tinkering to selling, and the franchise’s short-term identity went with it.
The headline from that teardown was the Carlos Correa trade that sent him back to the Houston Astros, a move that told everyone the plan. Minnesota also moved a pile of other big-league pieces that week, leaving the club angling more for a bridge year than a push year.
So 2026 is about stabilization and scouting the future in real time. The offseason adds were more practical than splashy: Victor Caratini behind the plate, Josh Bell for switch-hit thump and Taylor Rogers to patch bullpen innings. If the Twins climb, it’ll be because the remaining core, led by All-Star center fielder Byron Buxton, stays on the field and the next wave proves it’s real, not because a cavalry is arriving.
Regardless of which way the Twins go, figuring out how to watch them is likely to cause a few headaches. The number of national broadcasters is at an all-time high, and regional games are undergoing a league-wide makeover. We’re here to make the transition as smooth as possible.
Keep tabs on the Twins all season long by following the team on The Athletic, with coverage provided by beat writers Dan Hayes and Aaron Gleeman.
