Royce Lewis News: Gets $2.85 million from Twins

Published on January 9, 2026

The Twins and Lewis avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2.85 million contract Thursday, Darren Wolfson of Channel 5 Saint Paul reports.

Lewis played in a career-high 106 games in 2025 but regressed offensively, slashing only .237/.283/.388 with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases. The 26-year-old remains locked in as the Twins' everyday third baseman heading into the 2026 campaign.
