Minnesota Twins: Ranking the Top 10 MiLB Free Agents we should re-sign

The Minnesota Twins enter the 2021 offseason with a few major free agents hitting the market in Andrelton Simmons, Michael Pineda, and Alex Colomé with John Gant joining them. There’s uncertainty over whether or not they’ll be back, but what often isn’t talked about is the minor league free agents.

Several solid Minnesota Twins minor leaguers opted for free agency.

Guys like Rob Refsnyder, Juan Minaya, and Luke Farrell all played big roles on the 2021 team as minor league free agents, and Minaya re-signed with the Twins before. Today we got a list of the Twins’ new minor league free agents:

The list also included RHP Zaquiel Puentes, RHP Orlando Rodriguez, RHP Bobby Milacki, RHP Breckin Williams, RHP Carlos Suniaga, RHP Jonathan Cheshire,  RHP Matt Mullenbach, RHP Eiker Huizi, RHP Jose Brito, LHP Chris Nunn, LHP Sean Gilmartin, LHP Tyler Watson, LHP Samuel Perez, 1B Tomas Telis, 2B Sherman Johnson, 2B Tzu-Wei Lin, 2B D.J.
