Minnesota Twins

Various departed members of the 2025 Twins continue to find new homes for the 2026 season, with Willi Castro — who was Minnesota's team MVP in 2024 — landing a two-year deal with the Colorado Rockies last week.

Midway through the offseason, this felt like a sensible time to take a look at various former Twins and where they've ended up this winter (or if they're still free agents). Included below is every player who appeared in a game for last season's Twins and is no longer on the 40-man roster.
