Among the many reasons the Twins decided to trade over one-third of their big-league roster was to reduce payroll. After winning a playoff series in 2023, the team still slashed payroll by $30 million for the 2024 season due to the team’s substantial debt, which was last reported to be upward of $425 million on March 24, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.
