Minnesota Twins: Ranking the Top 10 Teams in Franchise History

7. 2019 Minnesota Twins (83-52)

This year’s Twins team has dominated opponents through most of the year, powering its’ way to the MLB home run record, with nine players likely to finish with 20 or more home runs (the team already has the record of eight players). Brilliant signings such as Nelson Cruz and Marwin Gonzalez gave the team depth and the roster looks built for October.

The team’s starting pitching and bullpen have been good, but not great, so this team isn’t perfect. Watching the major development of players like Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco, Miguel Sano, and Mitch Garver is fun, but how will they do under the bright lights of the playoffs? Will we see ace Berrios and star Odorizzi and Pineda? Or will we see the versions that look like fourth starters?

With so many questions remaining for this year’s team, it’s very hard to properly grade them. The final rank for the 2019 Minnesota Twins will be determined by its postseason play, but for now, the Bomba Squad is well on its way to being one of the all-time franchise greats, as well as one of the most fun teams in recent memory.
