Who Could the Twins Take at No. 3 This Weekend? Here’s a Look at the Options
The Twins could choose a top position player or turn to Jackson Flora, who went 12-0 with a 1.05 ERA and 133 strikeouts.
- The Minnesota Twins will select third overall in the 2026 MLB Draft on Saturday in Philadelphia, aiming to add a high-impact prospect after finishing last season with the fourth-worst record.
- Draft experts identify a consensus top tier of three elite prospects: UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey, and high school standout Grady Emerson.
- If the Twins choose to deviate from the top three, UC Santa Barbara starter Jackson Flora remains a primary option, posting an undefeated 12-0 record with a 1.05 ERA and 133 strikeouts over 16 starts.
- Separately, the Twins strengthened their bullpen on Sunday by acquiring minor league reliever Woo-Suk Go from the Tigers, planning to activate him for Tuesday's series opener against Cleveland at Target Field.
- Selecting the best available talent remains the organization's priority, mirroring their approach in the 2023 draft, as leadership focuses on long-term value over drafting strictly for organizational need.
