Since Rocco Baldelli took over as Minnesota Twins manager at the beginning of the 2019 season, first base has been a revolving door. C.J. Cron patrolled the position in Baldelli's first year, hitting .253/.311/.469 with 25 home runs and an admirable 101 wRC+. Miguel Sanó occupied the position for two seasons thereafter. Since Sanó's departure, José Miranda, Alex Kirilloff, Donovan Solano, and Carlos Santana have rotated through the spot.

On Tuesday, third baseman Royce Lewis and utility player Willi Castro could be activated off the 10-day injured list, adding much-needed reinforcements to an injury-stricken Minnesota Twins position player group. Lewis figures to split time between third base and DH, while Castro should slide back into a near-everyday role playing multiple positions. Although it might be a bit longer before Castro returns, when both guys are back, the Twins will need to open two 26-man roster spots for them.

Twenty-four games into their season, the Minnesota Twins' catching tandem of Ryan Jeffers and Christian Vázquez ranks 26th in the major leagues. They've been exactly replacement-level. They're hitting .202/.253/.286, good for a 56 wRC+.

The Twins' young catching prospect has struggled at the plate and in the field to begin his 2025 campaign. Is the 23-year-old at risk of being designated for assignment for the second time in five months?

And so, Mahle can wait. He knows it's too late as we're walkin' on by. His soul slides away, "But don't look back in anger," we heard him say. Your 2025 Minnesota Twins are off to an abysmal start. No amount of cognitive behavioral therapy or ventures into various coping mechanisms can soothe the reality that this team is, at best, disappointing.
