What will the Twins’ payroll look like next season?
Tom Pohlad said ownership will back Jeremy Zoll with more resources as the Twins try to replace departures and navigate looming labor talks.
- Tom Pohlad indicated The Twins will increase payroll for 2027 to ensure playoff contention, stating ownership understands this will require additional investment.
- Following a 77-85 record in the American League Central, The Twins must supplement a young nucleus to replace production lost from departures of Josh Bell and Ryan Jeffers.
- Building around All-Stars Pablo and Joe Ryan, The Twins seek to improve by emulating the American League-winning Tampa Bay Rays, who invest heavily in scouting and analytics.
- The Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire, with a potential lockout expected to begin Dec 1, which could constrain offseason activity and roster investments.
- Pohlad stated a $100 million payroll is "not sufficient to be consistently competitive," and after hitting a peak of $167 million in 2023, the organization intends to meaningfully invest.
