This year, the Minnesota Twins have secured two spots on Baseball America's prestigious Top 100 MLB players list. The rankings reflect each player’s anticipated influence for the upcoming season without considering future potential.

Pitcher Pablo López is ranked at number 56 with a grade of 60, experiencing a significant drop from his previous ranking due to an inconsistent 2024 season. López, one of 34 pitchers on the list, has shown signs of improvement this spring, potentially setting him up for a stronger performance in the next season. Meanwhile, Carlos Correa rejoins the list at position 84 after missing it last year. Despite his injury history, Correa's inclusion suggests optimism about his ability to stay healthy and contribute significantly in 2025.

Looking ahead, several Twins players could join the ranks if they overcome specific challenges. Byron Buxton and Royce Lewis need to maintain their health consistently to showcase their top-tier talent. Joe Ryan shows promise by improving his home-run rate, while Bailey Ober must work on minimizing high-earning blow-ups during games. Achieving these improvements would not only enhance individual rankings but also bolster the team's overall standing in future seasons.

The presence of key players on such lists often correlates with a team's success. As the Twins aim to strengthen their roster, the development of core talents will be crucial. Fans and analysts alike eagerly anticipate whether emerging stars can secure their spots among the game's elite next year, reinforcing the team's competitive edge moving forward.
