Minnesota Twins right-hander Eric Orze could be in the Opening Day roster mix after his strong finish to the season in Triple-A.
Puckett's Pond's Jackson Kruse argues that Minnesota Twins reliever Eric Orze deserves a spot on the 2027 Opening Day roster following a dominant Triple-A finish. After posting a 5.66 ERA across 41 1/3 major league innings, Orze was optioned to the Triple-A St. Paul Saints on July 11, where he rebounded with a 2.35 ERA and 0.70 WHIP over 23 innings.
Kruse highlights that Orze will be out of minor-league options in 2027, requiring Minnesota to keep, trade, or designate him for assignment. The writer contends underlying metrics, including a 3.34 FIP and elite contact prevention, suggest Orze suffered from bad luck in 2026 and could become a key bullpen contributor next season.
