Halfway through the offseason, the Minnesota Twins still need to fill key holes in their roster. Theyve signed Josh Bell for first base and Eric Orze for the bullpen, but they need more reliable arms, especially a lefty, and a right-handed hitting outfielder or first baseman to balance their left-heavy lineup. With budget flexibility, they could target free agents like Hunter Harvey, Seranthony Dominguez, or Miguel Andujar, or explore trades and internal promotions. These moves could significantly improve their performance against left-handed pitchers without breaking the bank.

MLB insider Ken Rosenthal questions if the Minnesota Twins will reconsider trading star pitcher Joe Ryan, following the Tampa Bay Rays significant return for Shane Baz. Ryan, a 29-year-old with a 3.42 ERA and All-Star nod, could fetch a high price, especially with free agents like Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez, and Zac Gallen still available. The Twins, believing they can compete with Ryan and Byron Buxton, have so far called him off-limits, but an eye-popping offer could change their mind. As the offseason progresses, the Twins decision on Ryan could significantly impact their plans for the 2026 season.
