The Story in 60 Seconds

Writing for Puckett's Pond, Amanda Lucas outlines three potential offseason scenarios for the Minnesota Twins: signing ace Tarik Skubal, targeting reliever Adrián Morejón, and avoiding a trade for slugger Rafael Devers. Lucas names Skubal as the dream free-agent signing to pair with Joe Ryan and Pablo López, though she acknowledges his expected high cost makes a deal unlikely.

Lucas argues the smart move is signing free-agent left-hander Adrián Morejón to address Minnesota's bullpen, which posted a 4.74 ERA in 2026. Conversely, Lucas warns that trading for Devers would be a mistake due to roughly $211 million remaining on his contract and past friction with management.
