2020 outlook: No. 1 starter with Twins.

The Twins have no choice but to renovate their rotation for 2020, and Dobnak, after big jump in 2019, is in consideration.

Contract: Pre-arbitration.

Contract: Eligible for arbitration.

2020 outlook: Key piece of the bullpen.

Sam Dyson

Kyle Gibson

Starting pitcher (Age: 32)

Weakened as E. coli and ulcerative colitis wreaked havoc with his system. Former first-rounder was not himself.

Contract: Free agent.

2020 outlook: With another team.

Stephen Gonsalves

Arrived at spring training trying to get his fastball back up to 95 mph. Elbow problems ruined his season.

Contract: Free agent.

2020 outlook: Big contract with Twins.

Martin Perez

Starting pitcher (Age: 28)

The Twins hold an option for $7.5 million. After looking like a free agent steal, Perez fell apart in the second half.
