Offseason quiet early, but Twins could soon be active
The Twins may move quickly before a likely lockout, with Ryan Jeffers’ qualifying offer decision and a $1.4 billion pre-lockout spending rush in view.
- At the GM Meetings at Aria Resort, Minnesota Twins general manager Jeremy Zoll noted that the December 1 Collective Bargaining Agreement expiration creates uncertainty as the industry anticipates a potential lockout.
- The current CBA expires on December 1, making another lockout appear inevitable; teams spent a record $1.4 billion on free agents in a single day before the 2021 lockout.
- While awaiting a decision on a qualifying offer extended to catcher Ryan Jeffers, the Twins bolstered their coaching staff by hiring pitching coach Brian Reith from the Tampa Bay Rays and elevating Jonas Lovin.
- Outfielder Trevor Larnach will undergo a cleanup procedure on his wrist on Friday, though Zoll stated the team expects no impact on Larnach's readiness for spring training.
- Although groundwork for trades often begins at the GM Meetings, most signings occur at the Winter Meetings in early December, and Zoll notes market activity currently feels "closer to normal than not.
