The 2026 General Manager Meetings began on Monday and will end today. As the meetings near their end, I put together a list of the Twins' most tradeable players this offseason.
Twins' most tradeable players this offseason
1B/2B Royce Lewis
Lewis might be on his way off the Twins' roster after posting an 85 wRC+ over the past two seasons. He looked like a future MVP after his breakout 2023 season but has unfortunately failed to live up to the hype since then.
The Twins might look to trade Lewis, who is under team control through the 2028 season, and acquire someone else to play first or second base while Kody Clemens plays the other position. The Twins might still be hesitant to give up on Lewis quite yet, but it's certainly in the cards.
OF Trevor Larnach
If you had to bet on one Twins player to be traded this offseason, I'd put your money on Larnach, who is under team control for just one more season. The Twins nearly traded Larnach to the Houston Astros for reliever Bryan Abreu at last season's trade deadline, but Houston owner Jim Crane nixed the trade. The Twins will likely attempt to trade Larnach this offseason for pitching help. The outfielder is coming off a solid offensive season, slashing .269/.352/.436 (123 wRC+) over 122 games.
SP Joe Ryan
Ryan's name has appeared in trade rumors since the 2025 trade deadline. He is still with Minnesota, but the team might finally pull the trigger on a deal this offseason now that he has just one year of control left.
According to Jon Morosi of MLB Network, teams are hesitant to give up prospects for players on expiring contracts before the looming Dec. 1 lockout. Unless the Twins are unexpectedly blown away by an offer for Ryan, they will likely trade him after the lockout if they plan to move on from the two-time All-Star.
SP Pablo López
I put López on this list for the same reason I put Ryan. He is a top-tier pitcher when healthy and is under team control for only one more year. However, he missed the entire 2026 season after suffering a UCL tear, which could impact his trade market.
SP Bailey Ober
Like Ryan and López, Ober is under team control for just one more year. Ober wouldn't get the Twins as good a return as they would for Ryan or López in a trade, but it's certainly worth it for Minnesota to explore trading the veteran. His fastball velocity is among the lowest in the league, but he was still a solid back-end-of-the-rotation arm for Minnesota in 2026.
