The Story in 60 Seconds

Puckett's Pond's Jackson Kruse argues the Minnesota Twins should not replace Royce Lewis with free-agent infielder Alec Bohm. While MLB.com's Mark Feinsand linked Bohm to Minnesota, Kruse believes signing the former Philadelphia Phillies corner infielder would not make sense if the Twins move on from Lewis via a non-tender or trade.

Lewis struggled in 2026 with a 0.5 fWAR and is projected to earn $5.1 million in arbitration. However, Kruse highlights that Bohm also struggled offensively with a .249/.315/.383 slash line in 2026 and posted poor defensive metrics, including -11 Outs Above Average.
