The Minnesota Twins are facing a pivotal moment with Royce Lewis as the 2025 season approaches. After yet another injury setback, this time a hamstring strain, the question looms larger than ever: Can the Twins truly rely on Lewis as a cornerstone of their franchise?

Lewis, the first overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft, has shown flashes of brilliance when healthy, boasting impressive stats like a .309 batting average and 15 home runs in just 58 games last season. However, his career has been marred by injuries, raising concerns about his long-term viability. With a history of ACL tears and various strains, it’s hard not to wonder if his body can withstand the rigors of a full MLB season.

As fans and analysts, we need to ask ourselves: Is this a case of bad luck, or is there something more concerning about Lewis's physical durability? Should the Twins consider moving on from the idea of building around him, or is it too early to make that call?

Moreover, with the depth the Twins have in their roster, including players like Jose Miranda and Brooks Lee, how should they approach the situation? Should they prioritize finding a reliable replacement for Lewis, or should they remain patient and hope for his eventual return to form?

Let’s dive into this discussion. What are your thoughts on Royce Lewis's future with the Twins? Do you believe he can overcome his injury woes, or is it time for the organization to rethink their strategy? Share your insights and predictions!
