A reunion would give Minnesota an everyday first baseman. The projected $32 million deal depends on how much room the Twins have left for catching and relief.

Brandon Lowe hit 35 home runs in 2026, but his projected contract and potential draft-pick cost make him a risky fit for the Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota Twins News

Matt Wallner hit 25 homers at Triple-A after a rough 2026 with the Twins. Fixing his trouble against four-seam fastballs could earn him a role in 2027.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Dean Kremer.

Dean Kremer posted a 3.48 ERA after the 2026 trade deadline. His 2027 club control gives the Twins room to develop Connor Prielipp and Kendry Rojas.

Minnesota Twins News

Jeff Hoffman posted a 2.50 ERA for the Twins after the 2026 trade deadline. His elbow surgery and Dasan Hill’s early progress put the deal back in focus.

Khadim Diaw’s strong 2026 and Minnesota’s catching depth make him a trade candidate. Why the Twins should explore moving him for Major League pitching.

Cole Sands’ elbow recovery complicates his future, but his projected arbitration cost gives the Twins a reason to retain him and keep upgrading their bullpen.

Minnesota Twins first baseman Royce Lewis.

Royce Lewis’ declining production complicates the Twins’ 2027 plans. Minnesota should weigh his arbitration cost, roster fit and a backup at first base.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan.

The Twins declined Joe Ryan’s $13 million option, but he remains under team control. Here’s how arbitration affects his salary and Minnesota’s 2027 plans.

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Josh Bell.

Josh Bell entered free agency after the Twins declined his option. Minnesota should weigh a shared DH role for Byron Buxton and its young outfielders.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Eiberson Castellano.

Minnesota Twins News

Sam Hentges could give Minnesota another left-handed bullpen option, provided the medical review supports a deal and the prospect cost stays modest.
