Minnesota Twins

3 roto titles · 126 seasons (1901–2026) · WS1 → MIN

The Minnesota Twins have won the Roto Champ three times in 126 seasons, most recently in 1992. All of them came by 1992, and the franchise has not topped the standings in the 34 seasons since. Their average finish is 12.5 all time, against 17.2 over the last ten seasons, a step down from the franchise norm.

The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Walter Johnson in 1912, worth a 24.4 z-score. He owns 7 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. The All-Franchise Team below is strictly positional, which is hard on Mickey Vernon, Joe Judge and Tom Brunansky: each rates above somebody who made a team, but every slot at their position was already spoken for.
