Berrios will be fighting for a spot in the starting rotation and it’ll be interesting to see what the Twins do with him. Berrios has a lot of talent and should have seen some action down the stretch last season with Minnesota. Even if Berrios does wonderfully in spring, it would not be shocking to see the Twins start him in the minors to delay his service clock like the Chicago Cubs andKris Bryant.

Twins fans will also want to watch Burdi and Reed, both of who could be a part of the plan for the Twins to improve their bullpen.
