Twins Announce Initial Player Pool

By Steve Adams | June 29, 2020 at 10:58am CDT

The Twins on Monday announced their initial player pool for the 2020 season. Player pools can contain up to 60 players, and only players in a team’s pool will be eligible to participate in summer training camp or regular/postseason games. Teams are free to change the makeup of the pools as they see fit, but once a team’s pool reaches 60 players, a player must be removed (released, traded, waived, etc.) in order to make a new addition. That player becomes ineligible to return to that same team in 2020.

Not all players within a team’s pool are ticketed for MLB playing time, of course. Most teams will include well-regarded but still far-off prospects as a means of getting them training reps with no intention of running them onto a major league diamond this season. A comprehensive review of 2020’s unique set of rules can be found here.

Here are the 59 players in the Twins’ initial pool (* indicates player not on 40-man roster; ^ indicates restricted list)…

Right-Handed Pitchers

  • Jorge Alcala
  • Homer Bailey
  • Jose Berrios
  • Jhoulys Chacin*
  • Dakota Chalmers
  • Tyler Clippard
  • Edwar Colina*
  • Randy Dobnak
  • Tyler Duffey
  • Jhoan Duran
  • Ryan Garton*
  • Cory Gearrin*
  • Zack Littell
  • Kenta Maeda
  • Trevor May
  • Jake Odorizzi
  • Michael Pineda^
  • Sean Poppen
  • Fernando Romero^
  • Sergio Romo
  • Cody Stashak
  • Matt Wisler

Left-Handed Pitchers

  • Sam Clay*
  • Danny Coulombe*
  • Rich Hill
  • Taylor Rogers
  • Devin Smeltzer
  • Caleb Thielbar*
  • Lewis Thorpe

Catchers

  • Willians Astudillo
  • Alex Avila
  • Mitch Garver
  • Juan Graterol*
  • Ryan Jeffers*
  • Tomas Telis*

Infielders

  • Ehire Adrianza
  • Luis Arraez
  • Travis Blankenhorn
  • Josh Donaldson
  • Marwin Gonzalez
  • Nick Gordon
  • Royce Lewis*
  • Drew Maggi*
  • Jack Reinheimer*
  • Jorge Polanco
  • Miguel Sano
  • Wilfredo Tovar*
  • Zander Wiel*

Outfielders

  • Lane Adams*
  • Byron Buxton
  • Jake Cave
  • Gilberto Celestino
  • Max Kepler
  • Alex Kirilloff*
  • Trevor Larnach*
  • Brent Rooker*
  • Eddie Rosario
  • LaMonte Wade Jr.

Designated Hitter

  • Nelson Cruz

Note: Pineda has 39 games remaining on a reduced 60-game PED suspension. That penalty must be served in full and is not prorated. Romero, meanwhile, is on the restricted list due to ongoing visa issues that make it unclear when he’ll be able to report. So while the team listed 59 players, the Twins technically have three open spots in their 60-man pool.

    I really hope Nick Gordon gets some playing time. He may not be a franchise cornerstone but Id like to see him get a legitimate look.

    I think that Larnach will end up having a better career than Kirilloff. Just a hunch.
