Minnesota Twins face multiple free agency decisions

The Minnesota Twins face several significant roster decisions following the conclusion of the 2026 season as multiple players approach free agency. Catcher Ryan Jeffers is considered the most consequential potential departure. Jeffers, who has been with the organization since the 2018 draft, has expressed openness to a reunion in Minnesota but intends to test the market this offseason. During his final arbitration year, Jeffers posted a .256/.353/.461 slash line with 14 home runs.

Other players on the Twins' 40-man roster with expiring deals include left-handed pitcher A. J. Minter and left-handed pitcher Taylor Rogers. Additionally, the team must decide on a $10 million mutual option for first baseman/designated hitter Josh Bell for the 2027 season. The organization's decisions regarding these players and potential qualifying offers will shape their roster and bullpen composition for the upcoming year.
