The 2025 Minnesota Twins season is the 65th season for the Minnesota Twins franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their 16th season at Target Field, and the 125th overall in the American League. On July 12, outfielder Byron Buxton would hit for the first cycle in Target Field history. That game also featured a Buxton bobblehead stadium giveaway to fans. [1]
At the trade deadline, ownership and the front office would initiate a “fire sale” that would see 11 players off of the 40-man roster traded away. These players included key contributors to the 2023 team that broke the playoff losing streak such as Willi Castro, Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, Louie Varland, and Carlos Correa, who waived his no-trade clause to return to the Houston Astros. [2] A quote by reporter Jon Morosi had been misinterpreted by multiple outlets that pitcher Joe Ryan had been traded to the Boston Red Sox. Ryan himself briefly believed the report. [3] Buxton, who has a full no-trade clause in his contract, made it clear at the All-Star Game that he would refuse any trades involving himself, even if it were to his hometown team Atlanta Braves. Buxton called Minnesota “home” and said he will be “a Twin for life”. [4] Despite this, six teams called the Twins inquiring about Buxton, including Atlanta and the New York Mets. [5]
The moves, especially the Correa trade which saw the Twins send $30 million along with Correa in exchange for an unranked minor league prospect, were met with skepticism and criticism from fans [6] and media alike concerning the motivations of the front office and ownership. This included former Twins player and current Twins announcer Trevor Plouffe, who voiced his frustration with the team’s moves on X calling them “a bloodbath” and sympathizing with fans. [7]
Many in the media believed these moves were made to shed payroll to help progress towards a potential sale of the team, which was announced the year prior. [8] President of baseball operations Derek Falvey sent an email to Twins season ticket holders the following day saying “We know moves like this spark reactions. That’s natural” and the moves were made to position the Twins to “compete at a higher level, not just in the short term, but in a way that can endure the ups and downs of a long season.” [9]
The Twins failed to improve on their 82–80 record in 2024 on September 6 with a loss to the Kansas City Royals. They guaranteed their first losing season since 2022 with a September 10 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. They were eliminated from playoff contention for the second consecutive season on September 13. [10]
A highlight of the season was a 13-game winning streak from May 3 through May 18. The streak was the second-longest in MLB for the season and was the second-longest in Twins franchise history since the team relocated to Minnesota in 1961. [11]
The Twins finished the 2024 season with an 82–80 record, a five game regression from their 87–75 record in 2023.
In January, the Twins announced a new broadcasting arrangement, in conjunction with MLB.tv, that would remove blackouts from local Twins games. [12]
In February, the Twins signed outfielder Harrison Bader to a one-year contract worth $6.25 million. [13]
On October 10, 2024, the Pohlad family, who have owned the Twins since 1984, announced they would be exploring a sale of the franchise. [14] In August 2025, the Pohlads backtracked, saying they would not sell the team but added new investors. [15] The Pohlads had sought a $1.7 billion price for the Twins, but the team also had $425 million in debt. [16]
