The Minnesota Twins will get financial relief from their partial team sale, and signing third baseman Alex Bregman would be a perfect way to celebrate.

The Twins are on the way to "sound financial footing," via The Athletic's Dan Hayes.

"Selling more than 20 percent of the franchise to three minority partnership groups at a $1.75 billion valuation, the Pohlad family announced Wednesday they finalized a transaction that helps a club $500 million in debt return to a sound financial footing while also requiring the addition of three seats to the team’s ownership advisory board, league sources told The Athletic," he reported on Tuesday.

The organization's debt originated from lost revenue when fans couldn't attend games during COVID. Low fan attendance in the ensuing years didn't help, and the debt eventually ballooned to $500 million.

Minnesota did pair star outfielder Byron Buxton with shortstop Carlos Correa for three-and-a-half seasons, but that only resulted in one playoff appearance. The club signed the former World Series champion in March 2022 and dealt him to the Houston Astros at the 2025 trade deadline, leaving Buxton as its only star position player once again. 

The Twins are coming off of two straight non-playoff seasons, so they have a competitive incentive to sign another star along with their financial one. 

Signing Bregman would inject life into an offense that was tied for 17th with a .707 OPS this past season. The 31-year-old notched an .821 OPS with 18 homers and 62 RBIs over 114 games for the Boston Red Sox this past season.

Minnesota was carried by Buxton in 2025, as he led the team with a .264 batting average, 35 homers, 83 RBIs, a .327 OBP, and 129 hits over 126 games. The 32-year-old also led with an .878 OPS and a 4.9 WAR. 

The Twins did not have another player with an OPS of at least .780 and 100-plus games played, and right fielder Matt Wallner was their next-closest in homers (22). Signing Bregman would take pressure off of Buxton, who has not reached the AL Championship Series since debuting for the club in 2015.

Bregman has a market value of four years, $112.1 million ($28 million average annual salary), according to Spotrac. Acquiring the three-time All-Star at that price would help Minnesota assert itself as a threat in the AL Central amid its transformative offseason.

The Twins do have fellow third baseman Royce Lewis, who finished with a .671 OPS across 106 games in 2025. However, they could alternate the two players at third base and designated hitter.
