PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- One of the benefits of the Twins having a young cost-controlled core is they have no players under contract beyond the 2019 season. But that could change, as the Twins are in the exploratory stages of contract extensions with pre-arbitration players.
Center fielder Byron Buxton has already been approached about a possible extension, while the Twins could look to do the same with third baseman Miguel Sano, right fielder Max Kepler, right-hander Jose Berrios, left fielder Eddie Rosario or shortstop Jorge Polanco.
