The Twins finally checked two boxes off their offseason to-do list on Friday when their one-year deals with left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe and outfielder Harrison Bader, agreed upon earlier this week, became official.

The big question now, of course, is will they do more either before spring training kicks off next week or over the course of the next month and a half before the regular season begins?

Trade talks have slowed down, even from where they were a couple of weeks ago, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said, but the Twins are still open to making further additions — and first base seems to be a big area of need.

While it was once thought the Twins would have to make a trade to create some more payroll flexibility, Falvey said executive chair Joe Pohlad “greenlighted, for sure, the ability to add a little bit here to this team.” Coulombe signed a one-year deal for $3 million and Bader’s deal was for one year with a mutual option for 2026. In total, he is guaranteed $6.25 million.

Falvey noted that they were “never done” exploring roster options, a statement that has been backed up over the years as the front office has made roster moves deep into spring training. On Friday, he said he hoped to find a way to add some depth options, potential in the form of non-roster invites, if possible.

“As it stands right now, and even before these two adds … the bulk of our roster was going to be the group that you already know going to Fort Myers here in a couple weeks,” Falvey said. “Obviously, we’ve been able to add a couple spots and we’ll see what else shakes out.”

Coulombe and Bader are the first two major leaguers they have added through more than three quiet months of offseason work.

In Bader, the Twins got a right-handed hitting outfielder they envision manning all three spots, including center field when Byron Buxton has time off.

A Gold Glove Award-winning center fielder, Bader has not played in the corner spots recently, but general manager Jeremy Zoll said that in talking with his agent — and after Bader’s conversation with manager Rocco Baldelli last weekend — they were told the veteran is open to playing wherever Baldelli puts him.

In addition to backing up Buxton in center, Bader should see time in the corner spots against left-handed pitchers while filling in for lefthanded-hitting outfielders Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner.

“Knowing Harrison’s history as such an elite defender, it made it easy to keep him at the top of the targets list to keep working through and seeing if we could find the right opportunity to bring him in,” Zoll said.

While the Twins have had their eye on Bader for years, they’re even more familiar with Coulombe, who pitched for Minnesota from 2020-22 and was with them in spring training in 2023. He adds an established left-handed option to a bullpen that lost Caleb Thielbar.

Coulombe spent the past two years with the Orioles, posting a 2.12 earned-run average in 29 2/3 innings pitched last season while missing some time after undergoing elbow surgery.

To make room on the 40-man roster, the Twins traded utilityman Michael Helman to the St. Louis Cardinals for cash considerations on Thursday and designated reliever Ronny Henriquez for assignment on Friday.

“We’re never going to click off every box on the need-and-want list, but we feel like in left-handed reliever and another complementary right-handed hitting outfielder for our group, we thought those were really two good fits for us,” Falvey said.
