Projecting Twins’ 2027 Opening Day bullpen with players currently on roster

Jackson Kruse of Puckett's Pond projects the Minnesota Twins' 2027 Opening Day bullpen using the team's current roster options. Kruse identifies Yoendrys Gómez, Jeff Hoffman, Andrew Morris, Tommy Nance, Anthony Banda, and Cole Sands as current locks for the relief corps. Multiple other pitchers, including David Festa and Marco Raya, are projected to battle for the remaining spots.

The writer notes that impending free agency for relievers like A.J. Minter and Taylor Rogers makes offseason additions necessary. Kruse argues the Twins should strongly consider re-signing Minter, while also suggesting potential external targets such as David Bednar of the New York Yankees and Raisel Iglesias of the Atlanta Braves.
