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, which happened to feature a giveaway of Byron Buxton bobbleheads to fans, Outfielder Byron Buxton would hit for the first Cycle in Target Field history. [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 multiple 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, who himself briefly also believed the report, had been traded to the Boston Red Sox. [3] Outfielder Byron Buxton, who also has a full no-trade clause, 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. For his reasoning, Buxton called Minnesota “home” and that he will be “a Twin for life”. [4] Despite this, 6 teams called the Twins inquiring about Buxton including the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves. [5]
The moves, especially the Correa trade which saw the Twins send 30 million dollars along with Correa in exchange for an unranked minor league prospect, were met with skepticism and criticism from fans [6] and media alike as to the motivations of the front office and ownership. This would include former Twins player and current Twins announcer Trevor Plouffe who voiced his frustration with the team’s moves on X (formerly Twitter) 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 would send 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 finished the 2024 season with an 82–80 record, which was a five game regression from their 87–75 record in 2023.
In February, the Twins signed outfielder Harrison Bader to a one-year contract worth $6.25 million. [10]
On October 10, 2024, it was announced that the Pohlads, who have owned the Twins since 1984, would be exploring a sale of the franchise. [11]
