Twins' Trevor Larnach: Reaches pact with Twins
Rotowire
The Twins and Larnach avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $4.475 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.
Larnach finished the 2025 campaign with a .250/.323/.404 batting line and 17 home runs over 567 plate appearances.

Larnach will have one more year of arbitration eligibility next winter but might have to show progress to avoid getting non-tendered.
