Minnesota Twins promotions 2023: Here’s every giveaway and how to get tickets

Minnesota Twins Promotions 2023: April giveaways

Aside from July, which features the next highest number of promotions in a month, April is the sweet spot for fans hoping to come out to Target Field and leave with more than a win.

The first five home games will feature giveaways, including Opening Day 2.0 on April 6th. The Houston Astros come to Minneapolis for the Twins home opener, but only two of those giveaways are for adults. The final game of the series against Houston will be the first of many Kids Only giveaways, as fans 12 years old and under will get a different version of the Opening Day hat being given away.

Best Promo: Byron Buxton Replica Jersey (April 22nd vs. Washington)

The Twins Bomber Hat was a close second, as it falls in the middle of the Venn diagram for promos being both Twins-centric and also useful. It’s hard to top getting a free jersey, though. While it won’t be Team Store quality, the Twins have done a really nice job over the last few seasons of putting together high-quality jerseys for the themed giveaways (with the Prince baseball jersey particularly standing out).

Hardest Promo: T-Shirt Tuesday (April 25th vs. New York Yankees)

This will be the first of a handful of special edition shirts given away for every Tuesday home game this season. They’re limited to just the first 5,000 fans, and happens during a game against the Yankees which is surely going to draw a bigger crowd than a random Tuesday game against Detroit.

Here’s what’s on tap for April:

Minnesota Twins Promotions 2023: May giveaways

Hot off a stacked April, the Twins went light in May with the giveaways and promotions. To be fair, there are only 12 home games this month and half of those are against teams that rarely come to Target Field.

The Chicago Cubs come to Minneapolis over Mother’s Day Weekend. A week later the San Francisco Giants come to Target Field for just the second time ever (although they did come last season). It’ll mark just the third time since 2005 that the Giants have played in Minnesota. Both series feature promos, adding even extra incentive to see a pair of National League teams that don’t often roll through Minneapolis (the Cubs have been to Minnesota just three time since 2006).

Best Promo: Mother’s Day Tote Bag (May 14th vs. Chicago Cubs)

Thanking your mother by bringing her to a game is a gift in it’s own way, but the Twins are going a step further. The tote bag also falls into the category of ‘Kitchy yet Useful’ in terms of ballpark giveaway.

Hardest Promo: T-Shirt Tuesday (May 23rd vs. San Francisco)

There’s a theme developing here, and it’s that T-Shirt Tuesday is going to be a hot resale item on eBay. The first two T-Shirt nights are against the Yankees — a big draw — and the Giants, a team that when they pop up on the schedule will likely bring out fans hoping to see a team they don’t often get a chance to.

Minnesota Twins Promotions 2023: June giveaways

June might lowkey be the best month for promos, based on the ratio of games to giveaways.

Best Promo: Joe Ryan Bobblehead

Bobbleheads are catnip for baseball fans. The Twins have always done a fantastic job with their bobblehead promos and snagging one of Joe Ryan seems like a no-brainer addition to the collection.

Hardest Promo: Twins Bucket Hat

Don’t get it twisted, the Joe Ryan bobblehead is not going to be easy to secure. Fans sometimes stand in line for hours to be one of the first through the gates, but the bucket hat is an even more exclusive item. Only 5,000 fans will get one, making it one of the hotter items on the promotional schedule.

Minnesota Twins promotions 2023: July giveaways

This is the second biggest month of promotions for the Twins, and arguably better than April’s offering. We’ll get to the primo promo of the season in a bit, but there’s a lot of other great offerings in June.

Kudos on the Twins for getting way ahead of their Back To School stuff, giving away that promotion toward the end of the month rather than saving it for actual back to school season in August. The Xcel Energy lightbulb leaves a lot to be desired, but lightbulbs aren’t cheap so there’s that.

Best and Hardest Promo: Carlos Correa bobblehead

It’s not particularly close. When all is said and done, the Carlos Correa bobblehead might end up being the hardest promo of the season to secure. The hype with Correa was already high, but the fact that he’ll be with the Twins for what could amount to the biggest portion of his career means this bobblehead has already begun aging well and it hasn’t even been released.

Minnesota Twins promotions 2023: August giveaways

August offers the first of two No Limit promotions, where every fan in attendance is guaranteed an item. Why Xcel Energy couldn’t have done this with the lightbulb promotion is neither here nor there, but the Twins Hall of Fame pin is a more desired option.

Don’t sleep on the second-to-last T-Shirt Tuesday of the season, either. The giveaway happens during a game against Cleveland, which is by far offers the easiest potential to snag one versus previous T-Shirt Tuesdays featuring the Yankees, Giants, and Brewers.

Best Promo: T.C. Build-A-Bear

Where adults had theme nights that produced crossover jerseys with the Wild, Wolves, and Lynx — and lest we forget the Prince jacket giveaway — kids have a peak giveaway of their own. The T.C. Build-A-Bear is 1A to the Carlos Correa bobblehead in terms of the best promo of the season, and the fact that it’s just for kids makes it even better.

Hardest Promo: T.C. Build-A-Bear

While it’s perhaps the second-best promo of the year, it’s also going to be one of the hardest. Sure, it’s just for fans who are of a certain age bracket, but the game is on a Sunday which is already a day designed to for kids. It’s also the last Sunday before most of the state starts up elementary school, which means it’s perhaps the last gasp of summer fun kids will get until 2024.

Minnesota Twins Promotions 2023: September Giveaways

We’ve reached the final month of the season, and the last handful of chances to get in on the promo action.

Best Promo: Los Twins Jersey

The fact that this is a giveaway where every fan gets a free jersey puts it in the running for best promo of the season. It also occurs during a game against the New York Mets, who are a draw in their own right, so it’s truly a win-win for fans.

Hardest Promo: T-Shirt Tuesday

It’s the last home game of the season, and while the A’s are hardly a team anyone would get caught calling ‘must-see’, this could be a hard based on circumstance. If tickets to the game are cheap, and there’s an urge to catch one more game when the weather might be nice, 5,000 fans could accidentally be among the first to arrive and collect the final T-Shirt Tuesday of the season.
