Kansas City Royals: Making the case, Minnesota Twins free agents

2019 was the first season for the Minnesota Twins with new manager Rocco Baldelli and their first season since 2004 without longtime catcher/first baseman Joe Mauer. They would exceed all reasonable expectations by dominating a dismal American League Central, specifically our Kansas City Royals, and finishing with their first 100-win season since 1965.

The 2019 Twins were a very good team, and well-balanced. Not one of their everyday players ended the season with an OPS+ under 100. They set the single-season record for most home runs by a team. And their worst starting pitcher would finish with an ERA+ of 90.
