As I work on updating some payroll information on this website I thought I would put together some Minnesota Twins payroll information that I found interesting. As you might expect MLB team payroll information is pretty inconsistent depending on where you look. For the most part my sources are Forbes, Spotrac, Cot’s and Fangraphs. It is dang near impossible to compare apples to apples and as many of you know, you can pretty much get the numbers to show whatever you want them to show. So here are some interesting fun Twins Payroll fun facts.
- From 1991-2023 the Twins have spent $1,066,264,835 guaranteed money on 117 free agents.
- Since 2010 when Target Field opened through 2023 the Twins have ranked 10th, 9th, 11th, 21st, 18th, 19th, 18th, 21st, 18th, 18th, 18th, 16th, 18th and 17th.
- History above seems to indicate where ownership wants the Twins opening days payroll to rank, it will be interesting to see where it ends up when the 2024 season opens.
