Minnesota Twins Bullpen

In:

  • Taylor Rogers, LHP
  • Tyler Duffey, RHP
  • Caleb Thielbar, LHP
  • Jorge Alcala, RHP
  • Joe Smith, RHP
  • Jharel Cotton, RHP
  • Cody Stashak, RHP
  • Jovani Moran, LHP
  • Jhoan Duran, RHP

Out:

  • Jhon Romero, RHP
  • Danny Coulombe, LHP
  • Juan Minaya, RHP
  • Lewis Thorpe, LHP

The Twins are lucky to have several very solid options who can out of the pen, but we can only keep nine, given how we’ve constructed our roster. Taylor Rogers, Tyler Duffey, Caleb Thielbar, Jorge Alcala, and Joe Smith are locks. What about the last four spots?

We give Cody Stashak the nod here because he was stellar in 2019 and 2020 before an injury filled and ineffective 2021. He should bounceback this year. Jharel Cotton and Jhoan Duran have been fantastic all spring, so they earn spots. We then gave the last spot to Jovani Moran, because his stuff is still so good, but he is the most likely to miss the cut.
