What will Twins’ rotation look like come 2027?
Eight controllable starters give Minnesota trade options, but elbow recoveries, arbitration costs and a possible lockout could reshape the 2027 rotation.
- The Twins enter the offseason with eight starting pitchers under team control for 2027, boasting a rotation that could be headed by a pair of all-stars.
- General Manager Jeremy Zoll said the club aims to "exchange those for areas of weakness and build a better club in aggregate," viewing the pitching depth as a strategic asset for trades.
- Taj Bradley, named the Twins' pitcher of the year with 205 strikeouts across 31 starts, and Dean Kremer hold secure rotation spots, while Joe Ryan and Bailey Ober emerge as potential trade candidates.
- A near-certain lockout following the Collective Bargaining Agreement's expiration in early December complicates trade strategies, as Zoll noted, "In normal offseasons, you kind of can bounce back and forth between free-agent discussions and trade discussions."
- Uncertainty surrounds the return of Pablo López and Mick Abel, both recovering from season-ending elbow surgeries, while Connor Prielipp established himself as a long-term piece and Zebby Matthews seeks consistency.
