The entire bullpen was traded and never really replaced. Pablo Lopez is out for the season. Trevor Larnach is still on the roster. This team has had a rough start to Spring Training.
After the Lopez injury, I wrote that the Twins success this year wasn’t going to rise or fall with Pablo, and I stand by that, but whatever playoff hopes the Twins had are getting smaller and smaller with each passing day. There’s a lot of games to be played and players who can step up, but there’s probably one too many dreams of player development at this point.
So with all that in mind, what would a realistically successful 2026 look like in your mind? Tom Pohlad still thinks the Twins can win the division; do you?
