The Story in 60 Seconds

Twinkie Town's Benjamin Jones evaluates and grades the Minnesota Twins' infielders and catchers following the 2026 season. Jones assigns the positional group an overall grade of C-, noting that while standout performers like Ryan Jeffers, Brooks Lee, and Kody Clemens excelled, poor depth and offensive lulls significantly hurt the team's competitiveness in the second half.

Jeffers earned an 'A' as the standout contributor, while Lee and Clemens each received a 'B+' for strong seasons.

Looking forward to 2027, the author argues Minnesota faces major decisions regarding upcoming free agents and open starting spots.
