With that in mind, here are some important offseason dates Twins fans should know.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Important dates for Twins fans to know in the 2025-26 MLB offseason<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\"><strong>Qualifying offer deadline (five days after the World Series ends)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Five days after the\u00a02025 World Series\u00a0ends, teams must decide whether or not to extend qualifying offers to free agents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">The deadline will be sometime between Nov. 2 and Nov. 6. The qualifying offer is projected to be $22 million. While Twins fans should keep this date in mind to monitor the league, it&#8217;s safe to say Minnesota&#8217;s front office won&#8217;t be extending any qualifying offers this offseason, as most of the club&#8217;s impending free agents were dealt to other teams in July. Christian V\u00e1zquez is the only notable impending free agent for the Twins, and Minnesota certainly won&#8217;t want to pay a backup catcher $22 million for one season.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Non-tender deadline (November 21)<\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">This date is a lot more relevant for Twins fans, as the front office may look to\u00a0non-tender\u00a0some players to shed payroll and create room on the roster for prospects such as\u00a0Walker Jenkins, Emmanuel Rodriguez and Kaelen Culpepper. There are 10 non-tender candidates on the Twins, with the most likely to be non-tendered being relievers Thomas Hatch, Anthony Misiewicz and Michael Tonkin, along with outfielder\u00a0Trevor Larnach.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">MLB Winter Meetings (December 8-11)<\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Twins fans hope Minnesota will make productive moves during the Winter Meetings, where executives from all 30 teams gather each year. This year&#8217;s Winter Meetings will take place from Dec. 8-11 in Orlando, Fla. The 2025 MLB Draft Lottery will also occur during the Winter Meetings, set for Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. CT. The 2025 MLB Rule 5 Draft will also take place at the Winter Meetings on Dec. 10 from 1-3 p.m. CT.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">Pitchers and catchers report to spring training (February 2025)<\/h3>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\">In February, Twins pitchers and catchers will report to the Twins&#8217; spring training complex in Fort Myers, Fla., to begin preparing for the 2026 campaign. Minnesota has yet to release its spring training schedule, but fans can expect to begin their spring training planning sometime this fall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look ahead at the Minnesota Twins&#8217; 2025-26 offseason.
