The first seven names on this list all fall into the same category: non-roster signings with invites to big league Spring Training. Each of these players has been good in the past, but either was hurt, had a bad year in 2022 or just simply looked average. There’s no guarantee that they’d be a major upgrade over the players the team has now, but they’re worth a look.

Former Twin Matt Wisler was solid statistically again last year, but remains a low-leverage candidate as his analytic numbers simply aren’t good. David Price and Mychal Givens are both solid veterans with lots of experience, but neither is a difference maker. With that being said, both would be useful options in low-leverage situations and would represent an upgrade.

Scott Alexander, Tommy Kahnle, and Pierce Johnson all represent players who could be excellent set-up men, but all three went through a very injury-filled season. They each would be great options, but only if they were signed at a decent price (Johnson especially).

The last player on this list is another former Minnesota Twins player, one who it would be fun to see back here: Trevor May. Though he struggled with injuries in 2022, his velocity is still there and would be worth a gamble.
