Josh Naylor is back on second base here in the 4th inning and back to making gestures towards the plate, this time behind Tigers reliever Tyler Holton, who just took over for Casey Mize.

My breakdown of where the Twins' payroll/roster stands going into the offseason, including: - Guaranteed salaries - Dead money - Contract options - Arbitration projections - Trade/non-tender candidates - MLB-wide payroll context - Derek Falvey's comments https://t.co/bAuiEo21RO

Thanks to clean 2026 books, the Twins' front office could have ample offseason spending room if the Pohlads don't slash payroll again.

Huge moment for "Corporate Lou" Varland to strike out Giancarlo Stanton with the bags loaded. Ex-#MNTwins

Joe Ryan is 2-1 with a 3.06 ERA, 20 Ks and six walks in 17 2/3 innings at Yankee Stadium. #MNTwins have lost seven of their last 10 in the Bronx. Ryan won two of those (2023/25). Didn't start in NYC in 2024.

Last time the #MNTwins held a managerial search, Derek Shelton & Brandon Hyde were finalists. James Rowson also interviewed. Perhaps they're included while the Twins add other #MLB names & a bunch of college coaches. https://t.co/Bt2WapzZbE

Wheels for this move were set in motion when the #MNTwins cut payroll by $30m. Twins’ 2024 rotation on first day of spring included Anthony DeSclafani, who never threw a pitch for the club, and Chris Paddack, who pitched 20 2/3 IP in 2023 after returning from TJ.

Derek Falvey: "This game is ultimately measured by results, and over the past two seasons we did not reach the goals we set. I take personal responsibility for that. After discussions with ownership, we determined this is the right moment for a change in voice and direction."

A #MNTwins 2025 season full of questions about why it didn’t work ended with a 2-1 loss Sunday. The next question to be answered — will it cost Rocco Baldelli his job? Story with @AaronGleeman. https://t.co/jO61zM8nRF

Baldelli's status as manager is still an open question. What, exactly, turned the 2025 Twins into a train wreck is as well.

The #MNTwins' season ends with 2-1 loss at Philadelphia, their 92nd of the season. Of the teams eligible for the draft lottery, the Twins wound up with the second-worst record (Washington/Colorado can't pick in the top 10).
