The Minnesota Twins haven't had the most successful stretch recently, but they have a storied history. The franchise has three World Series titles, six AL Pennants, and 13 division titles. 

The Twins won their first title as the Washington Senators in 1924 before moving to Minnesota and becoming the Twins in 1961. They then won the 1987 and 1991 World Series.

The biggest reason why Minnesota experienced success over the years was having some of MLB's best talent. Here are the Twins' 10 greatest players of all time:

Radke is one of the most consistent pitchers that Minnesota ever had. Not only did the Wisconsin native play his entire 12-year career there, but he ranks 58th all-time with a 3.29 career strikeout-to-walk ratio and 33rd in lowest amount of walks per nine innings (1.63), per Baseball Reference.

Radke played from 1995 to 2006 and earned All-Star honors in 1998. The right-hander is also in the Minnesota Twins Hall of Fame and finished with a 148-139 career record and a 4.22 ERA.

If the word "consistency" describes Radke, "dominant" describes Santana. The native Venezuelan pitched for the Twins from 2000 to 2007 before playing for the New York Mets from 2008 to 2010 and 2012, but he made his time in Minnesota count.

Santana won the AL Cy Young Award in 2004 and 2006 and won the Triple Crown (wins, strikeouts, ERA) in 2006. The southpaw also was an All-Star from 2005 to 2007 and was the AL strikeouts leader from 2004 to 2006.

Santana got inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022.

Knoblauch had a dream start to his MLB career in 1991, as he won AL Rookie of the Year and helped Minnesota win the World Series. The native Texan then earned All-Star nods in 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1997 before playing for the New York Yankees from 1998 to 2001 and the Kansas City Royals in 2002.

Knoblauch ended his big-league career with a .289 batting average, 98 homers, 615 RBIs, and 407 stolen bases.

Judge was one of the franchise's original stars, as he was a centerpiece of the 1924 championship team. The native New Yorker played for the Senators from 1915 to 1932 before playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1933 and the Boston Red Sox from 1933 to 1934. He notched a .298 career batting average with 71 homers and 1,034 RBIs.

Blyleleven had two different stints with the Twins and was effective in both. The right-hander pitched in Minnesota from 1970 to 1976 and 1985 to 1988 and earned All-Star nods in 1973 and 1985. He was also the AL strikeouts leader in 1985 and helped the team win the 1987 World Series.

Blyleven ended his career with a 287-250 record, a 3.31 ERA, and 3,701 strikeouts. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Mauer did everything the Twins could have asked of him over his 15-year tenure. They drafted the Minnesota native No. 1 overall in 2001 before calling him up in 2004, and he went on to earn six All-Star nods as well as an AL MVP award in 2009.

Mauer also won three batting titles, five Silver Slugger Awards, and three Gold Glove Awards before retiring after the 2018 campaign. He then got inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2024.

Puckett was another player who spent his entire career in Minnesota, as he played for the squad from 1984 to 1995. The Chicago native was an All-Star every year from 1986 to 1995 and was a centerpiece of the 1987 and 1991 championship teams.

Puckett was prolific on both sides of the ball, as he finished with a .318 career batting average while also winning six Gold Glove Awards. Additionally, he was the AL batting champion in 1989 and the RBI leader in 1994.

Puckett was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2001.

Johnson is not only the greatest pitcher in franchise history, but one of MLB's best. The right-hander played for the Senators his entire career, spanning from 1907 to 1927.

Johnson finished with a 2.17 career ERA and won two AL MVP Awards along with three Triple Crowns. The Hall of Famer notched an MLB record 110 shutouts and was a centerpiece of the 1924 championship team.

Killebrew is one of the best power hitters ever to live. The Idaho native is 12th all-time with 573 career home runs and led the AL in homers six times over his 21-year career.

Killebrew played for the Twins/Senators from 1954 to 1974 before finishing his career with the Royals in 1975. He earned AL MVP honors in 1969 and was a 13-time All-Star before becoming a Hall of Famer in 1984.

Carew defines what it means to be an exceptional contact hitter. The native Panamanian is 27th all-time with 3,053 career hits and 42nd with a .328 batting average, which explains why he was an 18-time All-Star.

Carew was the AL Rookie of the Year in 1967 and won the AL batting title seven times. He played for the Twins from 1967 to 1978 and the California Angels from 1979 to 1985 before becoming a Hall of Famer in 1991.
