The Minnesota Twins come into the 2024 Major League Baseball season with plenty of starting positions on the roster established. Some spots remain at least partially fluid as spring camps open. Left field is among them.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Twins announced their 2024 Spring Training non-roster invitees. They identified 19 players who will join the 40 players on the Twins' 40-man roster in Fort Myers. Brooks Lee will participate in his second big-league spring training in as many years.
19 players signed to minor-league contracts for the 2024 season were invited to big-league spring training on Tuesday. Well, they were probably called weeks ago, but you know what I mean. They will have nine pitchers (8 right handed), four extra catchers, four infielders, one outfielder and a uti.
The Twins seem inclined to trade some of their hitters for pitching help as they look to go deeper into the playoffs in 2024. But could a lack of depth hurt them not just for next year, but in the years to come?
