The 2024 Minnesota Twins season was the 64th season for the Minnesota Twins franchise in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, their 15th season at Target Field, and the 124th overall in the American League. They entered the season as the defending American League Central champions. Despite having a 95% chance of making the playoffs as late as September 2,[1] they suffered a late season collapse, which resulted in them failing to improve on their record from 2023. On September 27, they were officially eliminated from postseason contention.[2]
Offseason
[edit]In February, the Twins signed Carlos Santana to a one-year, $5.25 million contract, and signed Jay Jackson to a one–year, $1.5 million contract.[3]
