Here are the Twins non-roster Spring Training invites

Not that the news is already old or anyone is sick of hearing it, but Minnesota Twins fans finally have some news other than stuff involving Carlos Correa to talk about.

Spring Training gets underway next month, and the start of a new season is a lot closer than it feels in the middle of January.

The Twins announced the list on Friday, which gives fans a handful of weeks to digest and research the names before Spring Training begins.

Minnesota Twins non-roster Spring Training invites

Of those players, 13 have big league experience and four of them have service time with the Twins: Dobnak, LaMarre, Coulombe, and Contreras.

Pay close attention to the pitchers list, as that’s the crew most likely to get called upon of the non-roster invites. Blayne Enlow is getting another crack at showing the Twins what he has, and seems to be pretty close to being a guy who could get some bullpen innings over the summer. Cody Laweryson is another candidate to get some Big League time, along with Dobnak and Coulombe who both already have pretty notable time logged with Minnesota.

Two other names might ring a bell for Twins fans: Austin Martin and Brooks Lee. Martin came over from Toronto in the Jose Berrios trade and was once dubbed the best prospect in the 2020 MLB Draft class. He’s a shortstop, which naturally caps his impact as far as being the guy in the middle for the Twins over the next six year, but he could work his way into a lane or use his time to make himself a valuable trade chip for Minnesota to flip.

Another reason Martin might be the third wheel at short is the other guy, Brooks Lee. He’s the Twins first round pick from last year and is looking for some big league experience for the first time in his career. The upside of Lee showing up at Spring Training is the experience he could get from both Martin but also Carlos Correa — who you know we could go a full post without talking about. In all seriousness, Martin and Lee are two top shortstop prospects who could work out in a number of different ways for the Twins, whether it be a future trade or playing meaningful innings at the big league level in the future.
