"The Twins gutted their roster at the trade deadline, fired their manager after the season and still haven't divulged any information on their new limited partners who bought a heavy share of the club. To call morale "low" among fans would be an egregious understatement, and the looming offseason doesn't offer much reason for optimism.

"The Twins were in contention for much of the season's first half, even rattling off a 13-game winning streak from early May into the middle portion of the month. When things went south and the club fell below .500 with the deadline approaching, Minnesota emerged as a clear seller. It was originally expected to be a minor sale of pending free agents like Willi Castro, Chris Paddack and Harrison Bader."
Minnesota executed a sweeping trade-deadline selloff, moving 11 players including assets controlled beyond the current season and as far out as 2030. New limited partners purchased a large share of the club but ownership has not disclosed details about them. The team dismissed manager Rocco Baldelli after the season, and fan morale is very low. Financial obligations include $30 million owed to the Astros through 2028 for the Carlos Correa trade, $46.5 million committed in 2026, and $118 million in long-term commitments through 2028. Reported outstanding team debt above $400 million likely prompted ownership-mandated payroll cuts and the large-scale fire sale. Several arbitration-eligible players and non-tender candidates remain unresolved heading into the offseason.
