Upgrading their pitching, especially the bullpen, remains a priority, while the Twins could also look to add another catcher to split duties with Kurt Suzuki. The Twins will look to free agency to address their needs, but aren't likely to make a big splash. They have several intriguing trade chips and could look to utilize those instead of signing players to large contracts this offseason.
Free agents/options: Torii Hunter decided to retire, leaving the Twins with pitchers Mike Pelfrey, Neal Cotts, Blaine Boyer and Brian Duensing as their four free agents.
