Where are the ex-Twins? Here's the list of all 105 still active across baseball in 2022

With the Twins' roster usage having mushroomed over the past decade, there are more former Twins playing elsewhere than ever — a whopping 105 of them in 2022, including a record 58 of whom appeared in major league games. Only a handful, however, had sustained success this year. (WAR figure is Wins Above Replacement according to Baseball Reference.)
