Well, the first spring training game is Saturday against the Angels. Opening day is March 26 at home against Arizona. So what better time to look at a potential opening day roster? After all, it’s not like there will be injuries and roster moves before then, right? This will definitely be the roster.

Righty reliever Brusdar Graterol will slow-play his ramp-up during Spring Training, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday, creating uncertainty around his availability for Opening Day. Graterol missed all of last year after undergoing right shoulder labrum surgery in November 2024.

Texas Rangers manager Skip Schumaker is set to make Brandon Nimmo his leadoff man on opening day.

Kreidler isn't a slam-dunk to make the Twins' roster, but he seems to be the most likely option to be the Twins' backup shortstop to begin the season. Kreidler will compete with Tristan Gray and Orlando Arcia for the backup shortstop role.
