2023 MLB Season Preview: Minnesota Twins

The Twins will be entering 2023 with a bit more optimism than the usual fare that comes along around the time of Spring Training. While they may be coming off of a couple of underwhelming seasons (78 wins in 2022, 73 in a brutal 2021 season where they undershot their projections by 15+ wins), they had an exciting offseason that saw them somehow end up keeping their star shortstop for the foreseeable future. There’s hope in Twinkie Town!
