Twins Agree to Terms with All Arb-Eligible Players but Joe Ryan

A $500,000 salary gap between the Minnesota Twins and pitcher Joe Ryan leads to arbitration for his 2026 pay, with offers at $5.85 million and $6.35 million respectively.

  • On Thursday, the Minnesota Twins and starting pitcher Joe Ryan failed to reach a deal as the club offered $5.85 million while Ryan asked for $6.35 million, leaving a $500,000 gap.
  • Ryan, in his second arbitration year, is expected to see his 2026 pay rise to roughly $6 million and is not due for free agency until after the 2027 season.
  • Ryan's 194-strikeout season and All-Star nod bolster his arbitration case, and before last season's one-year, $3 million contract, he had never earned more than $780,000.
  • An arbitrator will set Joe Ryan's 2026 pay after negotiations stalled, leaving him arbitration-eligible again in 2027 while six other Twins players avoided arbitration with one-year deals.
  • In broader offseason moves, Max Kepler was suspended on Friday, Ryan Fitzgerald was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Thad Levine joined the Milwaukee Brewers as a special advisor.
