Max Kepler was voted Twins Daily's 2019 MVP. The Twins won 101 games with Kepler hitting rockets from the leadoff spot. In 2020, he struggled to really get going, creating some doubt that he'll ever take the next step. What can we expect from the smooth-stroking lefty in 2021?

Corey Kluber terrorized the Twins for years. The man they call "Klubot" finished top 10 for the Cy Young every season from 2014 to 2018, winning the award twice. He's one of the best starting pitchers of this generation. The Twins can't afford him, right? Wrong. Kluber has suffered back-to-back nightmare seasons marred by a broken forearm, an oblique strain and a shoulder strain. He is now a free agent entering his age-35 season following a league-wide revenue crashed season. Could this be the Twins' chance to strike the Hot Stove? YES!

The Twins continue to wait out the market and wait out Nelson Cruz. If Nelly goes elsewhere, the DH spot is vacant, opening up the exciting possibility of adding a former MVP who is likely available in trade on a premium one-year salary. Should they be in on Kris Bryant? Should they just pull the trigger now?

The White Sox have just gotten better. News broke late Monday that they would be signing baseball's best reliever since 2019, former Twin Liam Hendriks. The deal is worth a guaranteed $54 million over three years with a fourth year club option. Hendriks joins a White Sox club that figures to now be the team to beat in the American League Central, pending Twins moves.

Buxton is an electric talent, capable of changing games with every facet of his game. Injuries have plagued the former top prospect's career, though, placing doubt whether he'll ever play enough to make a serious impact on the Twins' pursuit of a World Series. What can we expect from the best defensive centerfielder in baseball in 2021? What does ZiPS see in his forecast?

It's long been known that Cleveland would part with their superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor this winter. The deal is done. Lindor will join the new-era Mets under owner Steven Cohen, who is already running a different ballgame since acquiring the team just a few months back. Along with Lindor, the Mets received RHP Carlos Carrasco, who has been a top-line starter in his career. The Mets got better. Cleveland got worse. The American League Central just got a lot more clear.

The Twins haven't been linked to Tomoyuki Sugano in any prominent report this offseason. Sugano, a 31 year old righty who won MLB's equivalent of the Cy Young award in 2020, is expected to make his decision very soon. Sugano posted a tremendous 1.97 ERA in 137 1/3 innings in Japan in 2020. Could the Twins be in? Darren Wolfson implied maybe he's on their radar. If Sugano doesn't sign with an MLB club before Thursday afternoon, he'll seemingly return to the NPB for the 2021 season.

The Twins need to fill at least one spot in their rotation before breaking for camp next month. Could free agent Masahiro Tanaka be a fit? Tanaka has eaten up the Twins in the postseason. How about a trade target in Pirates righty Joe Musgrove? He's likely available. Let's dive in to both of these options for the Twins.
