Overview

  • The Twins announced the agreement Monday, confirming arbitration was avoided but not disclosing the financial terms.
  • Multiple reports place Ryan’s 2026 salary at $6.1 million with a $13 million mutual option for 2027 and a $100,000 buyout.
  • The $6.1 million salary matches the exact midpoint between the exchanged figures of $5.85 million and $6.35 million.
  • The settlement averted a scheduled arbitration hearing and provides cost certainty for the 2026 season.
  • Ryan, 29, is coming off a 2025 All-Star campaign with a 13-10 record, a 3.42 ERA, and 194 strikeouts, and he would reach free agency after 2027.
